Partial Renovation of Open Air Pool slabbed Area

CHESHAM TOWN COUNCIL - WORKS TO OPEN AIR POOL PAVING SLABS

Showering outdoors has long been a part of 'outdoor pool life' and the pandemic initially closed down the changing rooms. To ensure pool users continued with recommended hygiene practises to keep the pool clean, showers were installed externally and have been welcomed by our many users who use them regularly.

The continued use of these showers has highlighted the need to invest in this area and prevent any potential future damage to the existing building infrastructure.

Issues: cracked slabs, water pooling underneath, slabs rocking, raised edges to slabs, drainage level causing stagnant water, walls showing signs of damp from shower use, showers freezing up and blowing the joints.

The pool will be placed out of use for a period of 7 days for health and safety reasons and to assist with the agreed completion time.
