contractors and architects and their discreet van signage means they arrive on site as an extended member of a swimming pool construction team.
They are able to accept by email and produce CAD drawings by qualified and experienced CAD engineers and a typical 10m x 5m skimmer pool shell can be constructed by them in five days, leaving an accurate concrete shell ready for finishing (after a curing period). Structural calculations and a ten year guarantee are provided with all twin steel shells they produce which are constructed to BS8110 as standard. The BS8007 standard is available from them as an additional service.
ACCURACY WHATEVER THE WEATHER Contech UK specialise in the design and installation of shotcrete swimming pool shells for the pool trade.
With their own in house structural design team and 34 highly skilled men out on site, they construct in excess of 100 swimming pool shells each year.
Working with Advanced Pool Services, they have recently designed and installed a 25m x 13m pool at Moulton College, Northampton. The main pool was one of three pools designed and built for The Chris Moody Centre at Moulton College. The Centre, which provides high quality facilities for sports training and sports rehabilitation, consists of a 25m x 13m variable depth six lane competition pool. The facility also houses a sports training pool with water bike and underwater tread mill, hydrotherapy pool featuring multiple jets and built-in wheelchair access. Two cold plunge pools are also available as well as a hyperbaric chamber to complement the whole package.
The main pool is without doubt one of the key attractions at the facility. Constructed from sprayed concrete the pool shell is monolithic with twin layer reinforced steel as the frame. Permanent insulation board was used for the external profile and ‘waterproof’ concrete sprayed to provide a ‘bottle tight’ structure. The high specification was written by Mr J Gordon of J G
