This is a barrel vault structure comprising of 4 Bays constructed together to form the outer roof.
The liner of Translucent 402 was to provide as an extra layer for thermal heat retention and also the protection of the steelwork against chemical reaction.
The Mehler custom made walls for the complex where designed so that when closed assists with thermal retention, a reduction in power costs and extended the length of time the pool was open in the winter.
