Tourist Attraction

Palm Beach Aquatic & Community Centre

Palm Beach, Queensland, Australia

Description

The newly completed community center features a multipurpose hall, breakout area, flexible spaces, and a dance studio. Only the previous 50 meter outdoor pool was retained from the old Palm Beach Aquatic Centre but the new additions include:

  • 25 meter outdoor pool
  • Heated indoor training pool
  • Warm water pool

Last but not least, an improved fitness center, a café with outdoor/indoor seating, a crèche (daycare facility), and an underground parking garage with elevator access were also part of the construction project completed by Badge Construction.


Products Used

Penetron Australia provided a durable concrete waterproofing solution for all below-ground concrete. PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, was added to the concrete mix (>2,000 m3) by Boral, the ready-mix concrete supplier, for the foundation slabs and all pool structures. PENEBAR SW swellable waterstop strips were applied to all pour breaks, and horizontal and vertical construction joints. PENESEAL FH-PS, a clear, penetrating sealer, was used to preserve and harden the concrete surfaces of the parking garage.
