The £4.5m transformation of the 1970s’ baths where the UK’s golden girl of swimming learned her sport is creating a superb 21st century facility: the Rebecca Adlington Pool.
The 2010 opening of the new facilities will reveal the pool hall’s landmark barrel rooflight restored to its former glory and swimmers will enjoy six swimming lanes instead of just two, as previously. State of the art changing facilities and an extended fitness suite are also included within the extensively upgraded centre.
AccuRoof worked with the clients to deliver a bespoke roofing solution. This featured Rhepanol fk from FDT to meet the council’s stringent environmental criteria, complemented with vapour barrier, cut-to-falls tapered insulation developed by AccuRoof as a one-piece design, 200 linear metres of maintenance walkways and a full mansafe cable system.
Mansfield District Council architect Steve Melhuish said: “AccuRoof’s guarantee overcomes the design risk associated with the compatibility and interface between different components and elements of the roof build up.”
