Our team has extensive experience with aquatic centers, including designing new state-of-the-art facilities and renovating existing community and competition pools for both indoor and outdoor environments. We specialize in critical structural work such as repairing and resurfacing pool decks and shells, addressing corrosion issues, and ensuring proper electrical grounding systems that meet strict safety standards for aquatic environments. Additionally, we excel at designing and upgrading HVAC systems specifically tailored for natatoriums, focusing on humidity control, air quality, and creating optimal indoor air environments that protect both the facility infrastructure and enhance the comfort of swimmers and spectators.
