Adelaide Aquatic Centre

The Adelaide Aquatic Centre project has delivered a new state-of-the-art facility designed through collaboration between Australia’s leading architects, engineers, aquatic consultants, Sarah Constructions (Main Contractor) and Aquatic Project Solutions. The team-based approach to the design and construction of this project ensured that the very best construction methodologies were utilised to deliver a high-quality, time-efficient and cost-effective outcome.

The new aquatic centre features seven pools, with every pool including disability access ramps and hoists.

• 50m World Aquatics Standard Pool with a moveable boom, allowing for multiple uses including 25m swimming zones, Men’s and Women’s Water Polo, and Underwater Hockey. Strict tolerances to World Aquatics requirements for each sport were achieved in both the design and construction.
• 25m World Aquatics Standard Pool with a 3.5m deep diving bowl and diving boards at 1m and 3m heights.
• Warm Water Pool with incorporated spa and relaxation zones for aqua aerobics and water-based physiotherapy.
• Learn to Swim Pool designed for the introduction to water-based activities.
• Indoor Leisure Pool with features and swimming areas suitable for a variety of age groups.
• Outdoor lagoon pool for leisure swimming activities.
• Outdoor Splash Pad catering for toddlers and young children.
• Four water slides.

APS was engaged by the Main Contractor, Sarah Constructions, under a Design & Construct contract for the entire Aquatic Works package. Collaborating with and coordinating the industry’s most experienced trades and professionals, APS oversaw the design, construction, and installation of all structural, hydraulic, finishes, and fit-out elements for the entire project. The project has now been successfully completed, with APS delivering the works on time and within budget.
