Project - Royal Alexandra and Albert School
Work Scope: Full dry refurbishment to pool tank
including new sump drain installation and tanking install

UK Diveworks completed a full pool tank refurbishment programme alongside another swimming pool plant room contractor at The Royal Alexandra and Albert School. UK Diveworks was approached by a returning client who required a full pool tank strip out, new insulated ceiling and poolside tile relay.

  • Full dry refurbishment to pool tank including new sump drain installation and tanking install
  • New insulated ceiling install
  • Cut out and removal of AHU ducting
  • Poolside walkway re-screed and retile
  • New ladder installation
  • Brick work installation to opening of old air intake grilles for AHU Ducting

Mobilising all equipment and materials to site, we set to work and installed a full deck scaffolding into the pool hall area. All ducting was then removed, all roof beams were coated with red oxide and then a new metal framed ceiling was installed with 100mm insulation

Works to strip out the existing tiling from the pool tank began simultaneously to the ceiling works to limit the total project time. This was completed by our surface labour team.

Completing the works on both the strip out of the pool tank and the ceiling installation, new sump drain channels were cut in to the existing floor structure and pipework installed. A single core hole was penetrated through the pool wall below the pool floor level and in to the under croft area for connection to the plant room pipework that was replaced by a pool plant contractor. Back fill and making good then took place to allow for the tanking and tiling element to take place.

Tanking works commenced after this, using swimming pool graded products. Swimming Pool tiles were installed along with lane markings once the tanking had cured as per the manufacturers recommendations.

New ladders were installed to the pool walls.

Poolside Works

Full strip out of all poolside tiling was undertaken by our surface labour team. Utilising a local screeding company, we re-levelled to poolside surround to include a natural fall for water to drain back into the pool tank.

Once all screed had cured, the tiling of the poolside began and dorset wooliscroft poolside tiling was installed. New hand grip tiling was placed around the edge of the pool tank to finish.

This swimming pool has now been brought back up to a high standard and will serve the school for many years to come.
