Barr + Wray is carrying out the works at the University of Bath Sports Complex A training pool used during the London 2012 Olympics is being installed at Bath University as part of the legacy of the Games.
Aqua leisure specialist Barr + Wray has been tasked with decommissioning and removing the existing pool and filtration plant from the University of Bath Sports Complex and installing the Olympic pool and filtration plant.
It is the first 50m pool of its kind to be installed there, and Barr + Wray was selected to carry out the works by main contractor Ikon Construction. The project is scheduled to take six months.
The pool will be used by the university but will also become a training facility for the British Swimming team, with underwater cameras and windows fitted so that the training can be analysed.
“With the additional technology and training facilities, this pool will give future Olympic swimmers the best possible chance to develop and improve,” said Allan Cullen, senior project engineer at Barr + Wray. “It’s a fantastic initiative to use the Olympic pools to enhance swimming facilities across the county.”
