Lake of the Woods
Landmark Aquatic served as both the general contractor and designer on this design-build renovation of the Lake of the Woods pool in Columbia, MO. The project included a full mechanical upgrade with new filtration and feature pumps, chemical feed systems, gauges, and an autofill controller. Outside, we demolished portions of the existing deck and pool wall to construct a new zero-entry zone with three interactive water features, a double-flume slide, shade structures, new decking, and a fresh pool liner. An ADA lift, ladders, and Life Floor surfacing in the zero-entry area enhance accessibility and safety. This comprehensive renovation modernized the facility while expanding its play and leisure offerings for the community.

The Rice University outdoor competition pool’s renovation was completed in January of 2022. The pool was completely stripped of plaster down to the concrete shell, the main drain, or VGBA, covers were replaced, and new quartz plaster was applied to an area of over 12,000 square feet. This project was not for the weak. The pool holds over 750,000 gallons of water and Is 169 feet long.
Quillian center noah’s ark
At Houston First Methodist’s Quillian Memorial Center, Progressive Commercial Aquatics removed an outdated play structure and spray features, and replaced them with a new Vortex play structure. The feature motor was upgraded by installing a 10 HP motor to ensure optimal flow for all the amazing new play features. In addition, Progressive stripped out the old plaster and tile, installed new quartz plaster along with eye catching blue/green waterline tile, and removed some coping and concrete to create a zero depth entry that guarantees accessibility for all.

The City of Mont Belvieu’s Eagle Pointe Recreation Complex wave pool underwent a renovation completed at the end of 2022. There was a complete strip of plaster down to the concrete shell and over 14,000 square feet of new plaster was poured. Carbon fiber concrete staples were used to achieve stabilization of a pre-existing pool floor crack, and pebble-tech coating was applied after the zero-depth entry coating was removed. In addition, over 2,000 square feet of eye-catching, blue-toned, 2-inch-by-2-inch tile and main drain covers were replaced.
North pointe aquatic center
The North Pointe Family Aquatic Center is a state-of-the-art facility that features a 25-yard by 25-meter lap pool with 10 lap lanes, two 1-meter diving boards, and a “Tree Swing.” Surrounding the complex is a 1,000-foot lazy river, which facilitates a running waterfall and various watersprays. The lazy river encloses a leisure pool with a zero-depth entry, water features, and a vortex, and a tot pool with a zero-depth entry and a play structure. Between the leisure pool and tot pool is a splashpad. Adjacent to the lap pool are one open-flume and one closed-flume, two-story waterslides. This project was named the “Best Public Pool” in September 2003 by the St. Louis Riverfront Times newspaper and was renovated in 2017.

The main drain, or VGBA, covers were replaced. In addition, there was re-plumbing of the pump room to increase serviceability for operators.
