- An indoor 25m x 20m x 2m deep pool for water polo, training and competitive swimming.
- A 20m x 10mlearn-to-swim pool.
- Refurbishment and heating of an existing 33m outdoor pool.
- All pools incorporated Myrtha technology (vinyl-lined stainless steel).
- A laminated timber structure.
- Acoustic ceiling.
- Heat pump, pressure DE filters, hypochlorination and CO2 correction.
As principal consultant, LHTDesign led the project team (including John Loughnan Mechanical Engineer) and controlled and coordinated the development of the concept, documentation and administration of construction.
LHTDesign also had particular responsibility for building design, civil and structural engineering, fire safety and water quality.
The original budget was set at $2.6M, however,half way through the documentation, the budget was reduced to $2.1M due to withdrawal of some funding. Despite this, LHTDesign was still able to provide the client with the pools, structure and plant they required to a high level of design and specification. The project was completed in August 2000 on time and within the revised budget.
The completed swimming pool facility fully met the design, functional, and financial requirements of the client.
