Hurstville Aquatic Centre Roof Works
As a result of the forced closure of Hurstville Aquatic Centre in accordance with the NSW Government Public Health Order in mid-2020, a decision was made to commission a detailed structural assessment of the roof structure. This decision was taken as the roof was known to be due for replacement in 2020/21.
It was known that while there was some visible signs of corrosion on exposed structural roof components, in order to understand the full extent of required maintenance and replacement works, more invasive and visual inspection of the hidden structural beams and columns purlins, roof sheeting and ceiling linings was required.
