College station middle school
At College Station Middle School, an extensive renovation project was completed of the 8-lane competition pool and pump room. This project included incorporating anchors to facilitate an ADA lift and water polo goals, in addition to the installation of new stainless-steel handrails, ladders, and starting blocks. The facility’s pump room saw the installation of a new UV system, pump motor, an automated fill system, a chemical monitoring system, and an Acid-Rite chemical feeder. The renovation also included the replacement of the waterline, gutter, and parapet tile, with a restoration of the water polo course tile. The outdated sand filter system was replaced by a singular Neptune Benson high-rate sand filter. Creating a balance between innovation and sustainability, the Accu-tab chlorinator system and the preexisting pool heating system were reused, a new pool vacuum was procured, and the safety equipment was refurbished. Most notably, the entirety of the above-ground pool circulation piping underwent replumbing and the pool shell was replastered.
Country village lap pool
The Country Village Pool, a beautiful amenity of the North Briar HOA community, underwent a re-plaster of their lap pool and baby pool. Over 5,000-square-feet of plaster was removed from the pools. New quartz plaster was installed along with new water line and lane line tiles. The lane lines are a welcomed addition for the summer swim league. We also moved a railing on the stair entry to make entering and exiting the pool much easier for swimmers.
Dad’s club lap pool
The outdoor, 5-lane competition and lesson pool at the Dad’s Club in Spring Valley was first built in the 1950s. The plaster was very discolored and the deck needed some work. Progressive was able to completely strip the 33-yard uniquely-shaped polygonal pool, and replace over 5,000-square-feet of plaster. The surrounding deck areas were also recoated, some missing and chipped blue tile was replaced, and black tile was added to both stair entries.
Fleet swimming pump room
The renovation for Fleet Swimming’s pump room included digging out and concreting a new pump pit. There was also an addition of variable frequency drives, flow meters, and two flooded suction pumps, which makes priming much easier for operator. In addition, repetitive TR-140 filters were removed and replaced with two high-rate sand filters, current water heaters were relocated, and the system was re-attached to chillers. This project increased safety, eliminated the need to step over piping, and made all equipment more serviceable.
A&m university galveston
At A&M University’s Galveston campus, Landmark Aquatic performed a complete renovation of the 6-lane competition pool and pump house, both built in 1972. Inside the mechanical room, two new pumps and a stacked horizontal fiberglass sand filter system replaced the outdated equipment. Landmark Aquatic also replaced the heater, and installed Accu-Tab and Acid-Rite chemical systems. Outside, a climbing wall and shade structures were added. A deep swim out shelf was built into the pool that helps with scuba diving classes and a sun-shelf was added for recreational purposes. The gutter system was removed and converted to a new skimmer system, and the main drains and plumbing were updated. To make the pool look pristine, decking, tile and coping, and plaster were redone. With these renovations, A&M is now equipped with a state-of-the-art facility comprised of the latest technology.
Bastrop state park
The extensive renovations, which cost the state park system about $500,000, replaced the plumbing, mechanical equipment, chlorination system and resurfaced all three sections of the pool. Visitors will also notice new handrails, ladders, and a wheelchair lift. The pool has been a main attraction at the state park since it was completed in 1937. For the past six seasons, the pool has been operated by the Bastrop YMCA, which supplies lifeguards, offers swim lessons, summer day camps, and community events.
