SAC Flash: Pool Update

Dear Members,

Thanks to all for your comments and questions on the pool.  This project is of great interest to us all, so here is a quick update on where things stand.

The work advanced well in February and March, with more days with blue sky after the frequent rains over the previous months.  In particular, the main “technical structure” is nearing completion, as are the new steps.

As the contractors prepared for the new “inner shell” of the pool, they discovered some cracks in the old concrete structure, which need to be repaired.  We have therefore spent a couple of weeks working through how best to address this, deciding on repairs to the concrete as well as using a “gelcoat” rather than a traditional liner, to ensure we have the very best finish. All of this was approved at this week’s Management Committee meeting. Our contractors are now back at work. Overall, we are, therefore, in good shape.

1. As per the original plan … we will have a great pool.
2. Within 3% of our original (€400K) budget; much of the past 2 weeks was spent ensuring we do not have major cost over-runs

There is a risk of a few days slippage in timing due to the 2 week pause in work in March; our current expectation is of completion around the end of May.

We will let you know once we know more.

The Management Team
