Huish Episcopi Academy - Swimming Pool

Project Description

Kirkham Board acted as Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors and Contract Administrators to oversee the refurbishment of the existing outdoor swimming pool.

The £1.2m project was funded by the Academy, with part funding received from Sport England and South Somerset District Council.

The existing 25m outdoor lido pool was enclosed to provide indoor swimming facilities, including new fully accessible changing areas for the Primary School students, Academy students and the local community to provide swimming all year round.

The works also included re-tiling the existing pool tank as well as creating an enlarged car parking area to enable dedicated community parking adjacent to the centre and improvements to the health and fitness facilities.

We worked closely with the Architects (Roberts Limbrick), the Structural Engineers (Clarke Bond), and Mechanical & Electrical Consultants (EDP Environmental) to overcome the various challenges that arose during the course of the works.
