Swimming Pool Enclosure

Swimming pool

Matamata Pool Project

Background

Swim Zone Matamata leisure pool is now open!

A working group consisting of community representatives and Councillors, under the guidance of Sport Waikato, investigated potential solutions for the Swim Zone Matamata Leisure Pools facility after the indoor pool enclosure was removed in late 2021. The Council found that the roof framework above the pool did not meet the required modern earthquake building standards, and one of the laminated beams displayed signs of weakening.

The Council supported the working group's conclusions and opted to implement a "medium-term solution." This would ensure that the Matamata community could continue to enjoy year-round access to an indoor pool and swimming lessons.

Solution

The resolution involved a bespoke Cargo 15.00m x 30.00m x 3.0m structure by HR Structures. This structure, installed at Matamata Swim Zone, was designed for long-term use with a 25-year design life. Australian Temporary Structures and NZ Temporary Structures tailored the design to suit the high humidity environment for prolonged durability.

The insulated wall panel had a minimum thickness of 75mm as per strict NZ specification. To ensure the durability of the structure, all steel members were hot-dipped galvanized according to AS-4680 and then powder coated. Grade 8.8 bolts were galvanized in accordance with AS-1214. The thermo roof cover is translucent PVC allowing the transmission of natural light during daylight hours, whilst providing a thermal layer.

The temporary roof over the indoor pool has been completed and has re-opened for the public to use once again.

Swimming Pool Enclosure

Leichardt Council Swimming Centre

Background

Temporary swimming pool enclosure over an existing pool enabled the aquatic centre to continue to provide their patrons with indoor swimming facilities, including swim school while the permanent indoor pool structure was being designed and built.  

Leichhardt Council engaged Australian Temporary Structures to construct a temporary swimming pool enclosure to house the popular pool.

Solution

The project was scoped & quoted in May and the construction began in June to accommodate the urgent timings required to remove the existing damaged pool cover. The temporary pool cover was a 15m x 35m Premium A-Frame Structure. The material was transported from the ATS warehouse in Braemar NSW to Leichhardt and was completed in just 1 week.

The build utilised a small team of 6: Project Manager, Operations Manager, Work, Health & Safety Manager & 3 x Building Crew. 

Pool Cover Overview:

  • Pool drained during the build

  • Structure in place for 12 months

  • 1 week, team of 6 to build

  • WHS facilitated throughout the build

  • Scissor lift, fork lift & crane was critical in building with limited access

Gymnasium

Temporary gym built onto the car park

Background

The popular Singleton Gym, jointly operated by the YMCA and Singleton Local Council, sought an alternative venue to provide members with convenient gym facilities throughout the period of renovation and refurbishment of the existing venue.

Solution

The ATS team utilised the gym’s existing car park to construct a 15m x 20m curved premium structure to create a temporary gym for members.

The build took one week to complete with a team of 6 people. Much of this time was spent packing in the floor due to the uneven surface of the existing car park space.

The structure was pegged and weighted to enable services under the floor and electricity for mainline power for electrical equipment.
