About the event
The project consists of a refurbishment to the existing pool and surrounding areas at Hilsea Lido. We are creating a new pool structure within the existing pool and it will have a complete new filtration system which will be fed from a refurbished plant room, including new filtration tanks. The plant room will have a new roof installed and this will be made up of timber rafters, ply decking and a felt finish.
External works consist of removing all current external finishes and replacing with a permeable build up for surface water and new surface finishes.
A new sub-station, incoming electrical supply and a new gas supply are also part of the works.
New Portakabins will be provided for changing rooms along with smaller beach hut type structure which will also act as changing facilities.
At the time of the event, the project will be approximately 50% complete.
Activities
On arrival at site, visitors will be given a short safety presentation by the project manager, they will then be given a short presentation on the history of Hilsea Lido. Following the induction and history presentations, we will hand out a short quiz for the pupils to complete.
Gareth the project manager will then talk through the project and the ground work contractor Woodmace will do a presentation on their works at the Lido, including information on why we had to build the new pool within the existing structure, talk through the process of shuttering, re bar installation and more.
Visitors will then be taken on a tour of the site to see live works being carried out.
We will then return to the site office and present the winner of the quiz with a small prize.
