The works comprised the demolition of the existing facility and construction of a new outdoor 50m pool, water polo pool and leisure pool as well as the retention of an existing indoor 25m pool, and the construction of a new spa, sauna and steam room. A 900m2 gym facility is also part to the redevelopment together with various front of house facilities.
The site was identified as contaminated by asbestos& GSW. FDC adopted a management approach that included a borrow pit and encapsulation saving the Client circa $1M.
The project had a number of intricate aspects that required a high level of skill and understanding to resolve in a timely manner. These included the contamination of the site, the retention of existing structures, moveable floor installation during COVID preventing the specialist installation team arriving in Australia.
The existing 60yr old facility has been completely redeveloped within a tight time frame and budget.
