Work On New £10.5m Swimming Pool In Worcester Complete
Gage-Tupper & Associates has helped to deliver a new £10.5 million swimming pool development in Perdiswell, Worcester.
The extension and refurbishment project was built by developer Speller Metcalfe at Perdiswell Leisure Centre.
The new pool at the centre was completed in January 2017 and took 13 months to complete. The eight-lane 25-metre main pool contains seating for 284 spectators, with a further 116 seats around the poolside for swimmers. The pool hall also has an additional 18x10-metre teaching pool with a movable floor for those learning to swim.
In addition as part of the wider refurbishment of the Leisure Centre, there is a new Gym with 110 Stations, a 25-Bike Spin/Fitness Studio and a further three Fitness Studios. The refurbishment works were completed in March 2017.
Turner & Townsend (T&T) acted as Project Managers on the development. Speaking about Gage-Tupper & Associates' contribution to the project, Senior Project Manager of T&T Ashley Pogson said: "Gage-Tupper's site inspectorate staff were pro-active in the identification of defective works at an early stage, enabling appropriate corrective action and preventing unnecessary repetition of defective work procedures.
"They were extremely professional developing an open and honest relationship with the Contractor's site staff and establishing and monitoring acceptable quality standards from the beginning through to completion of the works. All staff deployed by Gage-Tupper displayed exceptional building and services engineering knowledge."
Gage-Tupper & Associates have previously worked with T&T in delivering the National Football Centre at St. Georges Park among many other projects.
