CONCEPT DESIGN

This detailed design drawing shows the Pool Plant Room which is located beneath the Gym. All the Pool Plant Equipment is integrated into the design so that you can clearly see where and how everything will fit.

POOL HALL CONSTRUCTION:

The walls were built up to eaves level with reinforced concrete poured into ICF forms (polybloks) so that frames across the building were not required.

Polyblok Pool Hall Walls Built Up To Eaves Level With Roof Trusses

 

Here, the beam and block floors span from the basement walls to the pool walls providing the undercroft below that can accommodate the pipework, cabling and ducting.

The auto pH control and Chlorine dosing unit that keeps the Chlorine content down to 1ppm - inly slifghtly higher than tap water! - this relies on also having an Ultra-Violet disinfection system:

POOL EQUIPMENT:

This shows the line of diffusers that provide a curtain of warm dry air from the Air Handling Unit to stop condensation on the bi-fold glazing:
