Ledbury Primary School site visit

Year 3 pupils from Ledbury Primary School visited our site this morning for a tour of the swimming pool under construction. 

Our H&S Manager, Tony Bakewell, showed the children around the watertight building, visiting the areas which will be the reception and gym, as well as the swimming pool itself.

Buzzy builder

Our H&S Manager and mascot, Buzz, visited the children at Ledbury Primary School on Monday. The school made us feel very welcome and the children were very engaged.

Buzz and Sam reminded the children of the dangers of building sites and prepared them for the site tour that they are having tomorrow.

The new swimming pool roof is complete!

Our Halo Ledbury team have been working hard over the last few months to complete the roof of the new swimming pool. The roof is now on and the scaffolding will be coming down in mid-January. 

Staff tour

Staff from Ledbury Halo swimming pool had a site tour of the new building today.

The building is really starting to take shape with the partition walls having gone up and the roof nearly complete.

Builders to the rescue...

Our team came to the rescue yesterday after a gentleman reversed his car into a ditch at the side of the Ledbury Halo Swimming Pool car park. After a few beeps of the horn, our builders on site became aware of the accident and worked together to pull the car out of the ditch and make sure that the driver was unharmed.

Hats off to you gents!

Works so far...

Since starting on site in early July 2016, Speller Metcalfe has demolished the front of the existing building, including the old reception, changing rooms and gym to make way for an extension with a new workout studio and spa facilities, extended gym, reception area and family friendly changing area.

The steel frame for the new extension has been erected and the site team have started installing the new drainage system.

The site team have been hard at work the last couple of weeks erecting the scaffolding inside and outside the swimming pool area. 

The reduced level of excavations along with all of the foundations and underpinning have been completed on site. Concrete columns surrounding the pool area have been prepared and bolts set for steel portals.

Due to complications with paint specifications we were unable to erect the steel frame on schedule. However, the problem has been resolved and the programme has not been affected by the delay.

Our guys have definitely been lucky with the weather this week as the steel frame arrives!

The pre-cast concrete floor beams to the first floor area are programmed for installation on the 22^nd August 2016 for two days. For this reason, the Halo leisure swimming pool car park will be closed between 22/08/16 – 24/08/16.
