OAK PARK MAKES A SPLASH!
21 Mar 2019
Thanks to state-of-the-art drainage systems from Hydro Construction Products, Melbourne's exciting new fitness and leisure hub, Oak Park Sports & Aquatic Centre, makes a big splash without flooding.
Developed by Hutchinson Builders for Moreland City Council, Oak Park Sports & Aquatic Centre has been reopened after a $27.3 million development. The centre features a new 50-metre outdoor pool, two giant water slides, a children’s waterplay area and an indoor gym. As the City of Moreland’s largest capital works project, approximately 200,000 visitors are expected to visit the centre every year.
Hydro Construction Products was instrumental in the construction of this exciting new public leisure space. More than 500 metres of Hydro's supreme polymer concrete solution – in both 200mm and 300mm widths – along with Hydro’s anti-slip marine grade stainless-steel grates were supplied to the project, both for the pool and within the centre.
Versatile and strong, MEA Supreme drainage channels have exceptional resistance to water, chemicals and corrosion, making them a worthy choice for poolside applications.
With the advantage of Hydro’s innovative and efficient installation devices, installation of these channels was completed in a single pour. With superior hygienic qualities, Hydro’s stainless-steel poolside grates easily meet the durability and anti-corrosive requirements of this busy outdoor swimming area.
Hydro’s stainless-steel grates deliver on the aesthetic brief expected of a modern aquatic centre, while the added Suregrip nodules ensure smooth trafficability for pedestrians and swimmers for years to come.
