We also released the staging plans for Stage 1 and the external fencing. We drew up some plain speaking Fact Sheets to help everyone read the plans (a skill I'm still trying to master!).I've included the descriptions below alongside the respective plans - let me know what you think!
Within the centre our three main focuses this week (in no particular order) have been:
1. Member Engagement throughout the Renewal
Keep an eye out on our website and Facebook page for some of the initiatives we have in store to help our members feel part of the project.
2. Relocation of Rosie and the Customer Service Team
Rosie and the team started packing anything they could. They also took a tour of the portables and started mapping out the layout of their new home and how they were going to maintain the fantastic level of service you get every day.
3. Completing Risk Assessments and Safe work systems
We want to make sure that both visitors to the centre and staff are safe at all times during the works. One of the key focuses this week has been the changes that we are making to our Evacuation plans.
Now - onto the Staging and Hoarding plans!
Stage 1 Construction Plan Explained – Internal Hoarding
The following information is to be read alongside the Staging Construction Plan – Ashburton Pool
& Recreation Centre – Stage 1 Works plan.
Temporary hoarding (walls) will be constructed
commencing on the evening of Monday 28th July (outside of centre
operational hours) – So, the centre will look a little different when you turn
up on Tuesday 29th July. Please don’t be concerned, we will have
staff on hand to help you find your way!
1. Temporary portables have been constructed on the
Outdoor Pool Deck. These will house:
1. APARC Customer
Service desk
2. Warner Avenue
Physiotherapy
3. APARC Remedial
Massage
2. The entry to the facility will no longer be through
the sliding doors, you will now enter via the temporary portables and decking
that has been constructed. Our friendly customer service staff will be there to
greet you as per normal.
3. Once you have swiped your membership card or paid for
your activity, you will continue down the temporary decking and into the
facility via the door that previously lead you to and from the outdoor pool.
4. You will also notice some temporary hoarding near the
Gym, Group Fitness room and at the far end of the Indoor 25m Pool. This
hoarding is not anticipated to affect programming at all.
5. The Outdoor Pool will also have some temporary fencing
around the grassed area. Landscaping works will be undertaken behind the
fencing. During our winter closure period 12pm – 4pm, concourse works will also
commence.
Stage 1
Construction Plan Explained – External Hoarding
The following information is to be read alongside the Staging Construction Plan – Ashburton Pool
& Recreation Centre – Stage 1 External Hoarding Works plan.
External hoarding will be established around the
facility during the construction works. This is indicated in the plan by the
thick blue line. Some of the changes that you will notice include:
1. Relocation of accessible (disabled) parking – 3 bays
will be relocated to the first row of the car park bay. Parents with prams car
parks will be relocated in the front row as well.
2. A delivery compound will be established in the corner
of the car park closest to the gym. This area will be inaccessible during
construction periods but will be opened up outside of hours. (Indicated on map
by small red dots).
3. Warner Avenue access will be closed to allow for
construction of pathways and ramp.
4. Pedestrian crossing will be relocated so it matches
the angle of the temporary entry.
5. Temporary fencing will stretch along the Warner Avenue
boundary of the facility. Temporary fencing will also enclose the construction
company’s compound behind the stadium.
