A structural survey had been undertaken at Bramcote Leisure Centre highlighted some serious failings within the concrete pillars on the south-west face of the building. As part of the repairs that are required, it was noted that there was a complete failure of the internal rainwater pipe from the swimming pool roof. The two options to resolve this would be an extensive and costly lining process with risk of asbestos complications or the chosen option to divert all rainwater to new external pipework into the existing drains. This will involve 7nr scaffold towers to be erected to carry out the roofing works and rainwater diversion to enable the necessary structural repairs.
RESOLVED that the additional funds required to maintain the existing Bramcote Leisure Centre asset be approved and to establish any further remedial works required.
Reason
The works ensured compliance with all applicable health and safety legislation as well as for the protection of employees and the public.
