Table 4: Council’s spectrum of roles in the provision of sport, recreation, leisure and aquatic facilities

Council Role Description

Leadership Monitor and analyse relevant local, state and national trends and influences, and
support research and development related to public recreation to inform Council
policies, plans and operations Strive to attain an equitable distribution of, and access to
quality recreational facilities and opportunities
Owner / Effectively manage recreational facilities and infrastructure under Council’s care and
custodian control.
Develop standards and performance measures for Council’s recreation assets.
Comply with relevant legislation and industry standards.
Regulator Ensure provisions within development plans promote opportunities for public recreation
and that new development complies with these provisions.
Information Provide timely and relevant information to the Federal and State Government, user
Provider groups, and the general community in relation to the planning, development and use
and existence of recreational facilities and opportunities within the Council.
Work with community groups and other agencies providing similar information.
Advocate Advocate on behalf of the community to the State and Federal Governments, in relation
to recreational needs and opportunities within the Council.
Join with other Councils to provide a strong and united voice at state and national levels
for common recreational concerns and aspirations.
Facilitator / Bring together and/or engage with individuals, community groups, industry, government
initiator agencies and other stakeholders to address public recreation issues impacting (or
potentially impacting) on the Council.
Agent Provide recreation and sport opportunities on behalf of another agency/tier of
government with additional resources provided from that party.
Part Funder Join government agencies and others to fund development of recreational facilities and
services of a strategic nature. These opportunities will respond to genuine long-term
demand, encourage community development and will be developed where the private
sector, non-government organisations and schools cannot provide the service in an
accessible and affordable manner.
Direct Provider Provide recreational opportunities in accordance with Council’s adopted service levels
and network and asset management plans, in a manner consistent with Council’s
adopted strategic directions and plans. These opportunities will respond to genuine
long-term demand, encourage community development and will be developed where
the private sector cannot provide the service in an accessible and affordable manner.
Indirect Provider Service provision is delivered by an external provider which could be a private sector
and/or not-for-profit organisation. Council specifies the level of service it plans to provide
and procures an external party to deliver the service. Council may be required to
subsidise the service financially and often a contractual arrangement is developed.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 Both the 25m and toddlers concrete pool and shell(s) are in reasonable condition for pools of
their age, however, there are significant leaks at the facility. It is opined the majority of the
leaks are occurring in the filtered water return pipework, the balance tank and the joints. A
CCTV survey is required to confirm the condition of the pipework.

1.2 Based on the CCTV survey we can determine if the central filtered water return trough and
pipework is suitable for reuse if relined and new pool floor inlets are installed. This should and
could be incorporated into a future design.

1.3 The turnover times for both pools are non-compliant with South Australian guidelines and
regulations. Upgrades / additions to plant equipment is required to meet current statutory
legislated turnover times.

1.4 Each pool is to be separated hydraulically i.e. each pool to have own pumps, filters and
sanitation. We recommend the 25m pool utilises the existing balance tank (following
confirmation of condition) and the toddlers pool to be converted to a skimmer box system
(similar to residential systems). Alternatively, the toddlers pool could be upgraded to a splash
pad with toys and wet deck that could as act as a balance tank or be closed until future works
are decided upon. Please note, the 25m pool will require an additional pump and filter to meet
current statutory regulated turnover times. The pools shall be separated onto individual
systems, the chemical treatment is required for both pools, therefore, a new dosing pump and
treatment system is required as a minimum.

1.5 The existing balance tank at is to be cleaned out, all pitting of concrete and all rust spots
repaired locally and shells to be recoated with an epoxy finish detailed to increase its life for
the next 20 plus years, dependent on concrete core pH testing.

1.6 There has been ongoing issues with the off-take pipes from “scum gutters” leaking and also
with cracking / spalling of concrete to the “hob” at the top of the pool wall. To remediate the
issues with the leaking off-take pipes and cracked “hob” and assist with the turn over times,
also allowing better visibility for pool supervision, we recommend demolishing the existing
“hob” and “scum gutter” and installing a new wet deck edge system.

1.7 Broken tiles in the 25m poses significant public liability risk from cut feet etc. and shall be
addressed in the short term. As should the repairs to the concrete capping lid over the central
filtered water return line (FWRL) to prevent the risk of patrons trapping fingers.

1.8 Major upgrades to the facility must include upgrading for compliance with the dignity for
disabled (AS 1428). This will require either platform lifts or ramps to allow for dignified entry
to the swimming pool(s).

Report Ref: S16_131
Date: 11.04.2017

1.9 Most infrastructure and buildings are somewhat tired although with a maintenance
budget/refurbishment budget could be brought back to a reasonable condition. Salt damp is
the cause of the majority of the building issues and remediation should be sought from a salt
damp specialist.

1.10 Remedial works will stop the pool from leaking, improving the facilities efficiency and reducing
running/operating costs to the Council which, are not necessary. Should the recommendations
contained in this report be undertaken we would expect the facility to be fully functional up to
20 to 25 years, again if in accordance with Councils long term strategies. Please note,
refurbishment would require additional compliance items such as DDA access, see point 1.7.

1.11 As there are many options available for council, medium and long-term works should be
undertaken with community needs in mind and a feasibility report may be prudent.

2 BRIEF AND PRELIMINARIES

2.1 Crackerjack Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd (P/L) were initially requested by Jarrod Manuel of
the Mid Murray Council to provide a Condition Audit Report of the Cambrai Swimming Pool
facility and surrounding infrastructure. A formal request to carry out an inspection was
received from Jarrod Manuel, a non-intrusive, visual inspection took place on 20th March 2017
and a subsequent static head test was conducted on 30th March 2017.

2.2 The purpose of this report is to assist Council with condition / management strategies and
recommend remedial proposals to assist in prolonging the life / refurbishing the facility as
deemed necessary by Council.

2.3 This report has been commissioned by the Client (Mid Murray Council) to give an engineering
opinion assessing condition and life expectancy of the aquatic facility and surrounding
infrastructure.

2.4 The report should not be viewed as an all-encompassing report dealing with the issues to the
facilities entirety. Rather it should be seen as a reasonable attempt to identify any significant
defects visible at the time of inspection and a general description of issues, causation and
recommended remediation / refurbishment proposals.

2.5 Crackerjack Consulting Engineers’ understand Councils full disclosure policy and therefore
accepts and provides our written consent for this technical opinion report to be distributed with
Council policy.

2.6 Whilst every effort will be made to fully inspect those parts of the structure requested of us,
no permanent or secured fixtures and fittings are removed. We did not inspect parts of the
structure, which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible, and we are unable to report any
such part of the structure is free from defect. We are therefore unable to accept liability beyond
the scope of this report and inaccessible parts of the structure. Asbestos and termite
infestation are excluded from our inspections. An appropriate specialist should be appointed
to undertake these work if necessary.

2.7 Crackerjack Consulting Engineers Pty Ltd will certify works contained within the report were
undertaken with due care and diligence to the best belief and knowledge based on information
available at the time of our inspection. All site inspections are undertaken in accordance with
AS 4349.0 (2007) – Inspection of Buildings.

3 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Our investigation process comprised a non-destructive (i.e.no internal claddings removed)
walk-through and dive visual inspection of the premises for the purpose of identifying
visible structural and maintenance problems, moreover, which of these may be causing,
or have the potential to cause, OHS&W problems for building occupants.

3.2 At the time of our inspection, photographs of salient features of the facilities defects
identified were recorded.

3.3 Our investigation, excluded anything to do with earthquake engineering, or earthquake

retrofit issues.

3.1 The Cambrai Swimming Facility comprises a 25-metre outdoor lap pool and one wading
pool for toddlers, with surrounding shelter(s) / shaded area.

Cambrai Swimming Pool Facility Site Plan

3.2 The swimming pool is framed by the concourse and a grassed area is located to the east,
no off-road car parking is provided. The main entrance is located at the north of the site,
the facilities buildings and infrastructure are generally spread around the site. The main
buildings including the entrance, kiosk and toilets / change rooms are grouped together at
the north of the site. The plant room / chemical storage is at the south of the site.

3.3 Existing buildings on site are generally single level buildings of either masonry and/or
lightweight construction. Although they appear to be generally reasonably maintained,
existing buildings are tired, aged and in the writer’s opinion no longer meet broader market
expectations about functionality and amenity with the exception of the new plantroom
extension / chemical store.

4 METHODOLOGY, INVESTIGATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS

4.1 Our brief includes visual inspection and assessment of the facility. As part of our duty of
care, we have also identified several existing defects to be addressed by the client during
the remediation process. A summary of site observations and corresponding photo(s) are
outlined in this section.

4.2 A static head test as mentioned, an investigation into the extent of water loss was also
conducted. This involved shutting the system down under normal operating conditions and
isolating each vessel from one another as far as this was practically possible. The water
level in each vessel was then monitored over time and any changes recorded. Based on
their respective surface areas, the volume of water being lost in each vessel over a certain
period of time (hrs) can be calculated in accordance with Equation 1 below.

Equation 1 – Volumes lost for a vessel during static head test

Qloss.vessel = Δdvessel x Avessel x ΔT (m3/day)

Where: Δdvessel = Measure change in water depth (m)

Avessel = Surface area of vessel (m2)
ΔT = Time period between measurements (days)

In this case, the static head test was taken over multiple days with measurements taken
relative to time and date. Although the pools were shut down, the individual pools were
unable to be isolated from one another and therefore both pools combined were
considered as a single vessel, Refer Section 4.3 & 4.4.

4.3 Hydraulic configuration, for the purposes of the following discussion it is first necessary to
provide a brief description of the hydraulic reticulation circuitry for the pools. The system
draws soiled water from the balance tank and pumps it through pressurised sand filters,
once passing through the filters, filtered water is then chemically treated before returning
to the individual pools through the FWRL, the FWRL branches off into two separate pipes,
one to each pool. The water enters each pool through the outlets in the floor (from the
FWRL trough in the 25m lap pool) and then returns to the balance tank via the off-takes in
the “scum gutter” connected to the SWRL in the 25m pool and wall inlets in the toddler
pool. Each pool has an individual FWRL and SWRL, however the pools share one common
balance tank, filtration system and chemical treatment. The wadding / toddler pool is not
directly chemically treated and we opine this should be a minimum requirement.

4.4 Vessel Isolation, the ability to isolate individual vessels was limited due to the configuration
of the hydraulic system linking both the pools. There is a shut off valve on the FWRL to the
Toddlers pool however, there are no shut off valves on the FWRL or SWRL to the 25m
Pool and they are “as one” hydraulically as the pipes are all connected through a shared
9
 Client: Mid Murray Council
Report Ref: S16_131

balance tank. Therefore, the pools and the balance tank including all interconnecting
pipework act as a single vessel. Filters were isolated from the pools and balance tank by
shutting off the pump and valves in the filtration pipework.

4.5 Static head test results show the two pools and balance tank (combined) lost
approximately 9,195L over a 24-hour static testing period. Losses due to evaporation are
subtracted from losses due to leaks and rain is added, an average evaporation of 3.6mm
and rain of 2mm recorded at the nearest evaporative weather station located in Nuriootpa,
was initially used in the calculations of the water losses. The water losses equate to
275,850L per month and 3,356,175L per year. In comparison, this is equal to the 25m pool
emptying itself approximately 7.6 times per year.

4.6 Expansion / construction joints are deliberate breaks in construction to allow for movement
within the structure/pool shell. This historically resulted in and still can today lead to
difficulty maintaining a water tight structure.

4.7 A dive dye test was undertaken in the 25m pool which involve(s) injecting coloured dye
from syringes to suspected leak locations. If a leak is present the coloured dye is drawn
into the leak and “flow lines” are visible in the water, if no leak is present the coloured dye
simply disperses. The main areas tested were the expansion joints in the floor and walls,
including along the central filtered water return line. Additionally, any visible cracks or areas
of rust staining were tested. The observations and test results are outlined below.

4.8 The 25m pool concrete shell appears to be in reasonable condition based on the conditions
of the exposed sections of concrete and the tiling where the concrete is covered. There
are localised areas where the concrete “hob” around the pool is significantly cracked
(spalling) and requires remediation. The “hob” has been constructed with capping stones
on top of the concrete wall, cracking has occurred where the capping stones adjoin one
another and the top of the concrete wall. Also, along the “hob” are localised areas of
significant rust staining. The top of the hob is pitted in some locations.

4.9 The condition of the tiling is poor and poses a significant public liability risk, there are
broken tiles with sharp edges present throughout the entirety of the pool. Numerous tiles
are missing to the pool walls and floor; multiple tiles were seen loose on the pool floor. The
grout between the tiles has almost completely eroded and the lack of grout is partly causing
the sharp edges and loose tiles.

4.10 The “scum gutters” around the pool had previously been remediated with an epoxy coating
applied throughout. We were informed at the time of inspection the remediation had been
undertaken to prevent patrons injuring themselves on the sharp edges.

4.11 Localised areas of rust spots were observed to the concrete shell where tiles were missing
and on the tiles themselves.

Report Ref: S16_131
Date: 11.04.2017

4.12 The concrete lid over the FWRL channel through the centre of the pool has previously
been opened and the edges have not been resealed sufficiently. The opening between the
concrete lid and the pool floor is a risk for patrons trapping fingers or toes underwater and
a potential drowning hazard.

4.13 The wading / toddlers pool was seen to be in reasonable condition. Based on the condition
of the tiling and the exposed external face of the concrete wall, we anticipate the concrete
shell to be in reasonable condition. There is some cracking and pitting around the exposed
external face of the concrete wall. Masonry forms the top of the wall around the Toddler’s
pool, the mortar joints have deteriorated and are cracked / chipped and missing. The bricks
utilised as covers over the off-takes were not flush with the surrounding brickwork and are
a tripping hazard / finger trap, one of the bricks is cracked in half. One of the off-take pipes
to the Toddlers pool was seen to be blocked, as limited water was draining through the off-
take. This also adversely affects the turnover / chemical treatment. When the system was
shut down dirty water was seen entering the pool from the off-takes, confirming there is
cracks / leaks within the pipes which have allowed dirt to enter the pipe network.

4.14 The balance tank is cracked on the external surfaces visible from above, as well as the
surface being pitted, the steel lid and brackets to the top of the balance tank are corroded.
The confined space warning sign to the lid to the balance tank is worn and not clearly
visible. The balance tank is considered a confined space and access is therefore restricted
unless persons are suitably qualified and appropriate ventilation and equipment is used.
Internally the walls were pitted and rust stains visible. The cast iron pipework within the
balance tank is significantly corroded. The ladder is completely corroded and not safe for
use, a substantial OWH&S risk. Previous penetrations / repairs were noted internally to the
balance tank lid. From what has been witnessed on site the balance tank is a major source
of leakage and remedial works are required as a minimum this closed season. We
recommend concrete repairs and lining the balance tank with an epoxy coating to the
balance tank shell, preserving its ongoing use.

4.15 Throughout the inspection noises could be heard as a result of air escaping the pipe
network, the noise was most apparent from the off-takes in the “scum gutter”. However,
when the system was shut down temporarily the air could be heard escaping into the
balance tank. This is a sign of air being drawn into the pipe network which typically is
leaking pipework. We recommend CCTV investigation.

4.16 Paint to the hob of the 25m lap pool and the balance tank was significantly dilapidated, the
painted surface was faded, worn and flaking away as a result of weathering and the pool
environment.

11

4.17 Most the of the main 25m pool expansion/construction joints were seen to be in a poor
condition. During the dive inspection, the tape over the top portion of these joints was
observed to be peeling away and ripped / torn at some locations.

4.18 When the filtration pump was turned off the dye was seen being drawn into the floor outlets
along the central filtered return line, confirming there are significant leaks within the filtered
water return pipework network.

4.19 A backwash tank was observed at the rear of the plantroom, allowing for temporary storage
of backwash water while it discharges to sewer, which, is compliant with SA Water
Swimming Pool Trade Waste Guidelines if the flow is restricted to a recommended 2.2
litres per second unless there is an alternative agreement with SA Water.

4.20 The concourse at was in reasonable condition at time of inspection however, we were
informed that there have previously been significant issues with the paved concourse
settling / collapsing. It was apparent previous repairs has been undertaken, by the
differential colours of pavers. Older pavers were pitted / deteriorating as a result of salt
damp. The issues with the concourse movement and salt damp could be designed out by
incorporating a well detailed wet deck and concrete concourse as part of any future
considerations.

4.21 At time of inspection we were informed the pipework from the “scum gutters” had previously
had issues with leaking / breakages. During our initial site inspection, we observed repairs
to the off-takes and soiled water return line. As a result of the reoccurring issues one off-
take within the “scum gutter” has been sealed and made redundant.

4.22 Safety Signage and depth Markers seen around pool concourses were not in accordance
with AS 2416-2002 "Design and application of water safety signs" at the time of inspection.
Also, no markings identified the sharp change in depth for the “deep end” of the pool. Slip
resistance of both the 25m pool floor and toddlers pool floor to be to be checked by an
Architect for compliance. Tiled floors to the toilets / changerooms should also be checked
by an Architect for appropriate slip resistance.

4.23 Pipework behind the plantroom to the backwash tank was located at floor level; this
presents a trip hazard and a potential OWHS risk to employees. The penetrations through
the plant room wall for the pipework have resulted in sharp edges, also a OWH&S hazard
for employees. The cast iron pipe from the balance tank is corroded at the point it enters
the plantroom. Steel fittings to the top of filters are also corroded.

4.24 Within the plant room the majority of the pipework is PVC, the steel components of two
valves are leaking and corroded. The butterfly valve on the pipework between the balance
tank and the filters is significantly corroded, leaking and requires replacement. The butterfly
valve on the FWRL from filter A is also corroded, leaking and requires replacement.

4.25 Existing sanitation is provided by liquid chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite) injection.

Hydrochloric acid and CO2 are used to balance pH level. Sodium Bicarbonate is also used
to balance the pH level. Cyanuric Acid is used to prolong the life of chlorine in the pool. In
the writer’s opinion, the sites warning signs for chemicals are compliant with AS 1319 and
AS 1940.

4.26 The injection points for the hydrochloric acid was seen to be before the branch off point to
the separate FWRL’s to each pool, however, the injection point for the chlorine is after the
branch off point and only on the FWRL to the 25m pool i.e. no chlorine or CO 2 is being
injected to the FWRL to the Toddler’s pool. The pool records showed that the pH of the
Toddlers pool is typically lower than that of the 25m pool, as only hydrochloric acid is going
to the pool, not chlorine or CO2, which, would raise the pH. The only chlorine entering the
toddlers pool comes from the balance tank when the chlorinated water from the 25m pool
returns via the SWRL and then undergoes filtration before returning to the toddler’s pool.

4.27 No leak detection sensors were observed within the CO2 storage room nor was an alarm
seen outside to warn of a CO2 leakage, there was however ventilation to discharge at high
level.

4.28 Separation distances require minor amendment to meet the minimum 5m requirement of
AS 3833 The storage and handling of mixed classes of dangerous goods, in packages and
intermediate bulk containers, which states “where the substances being kept might react
dangerously they shall be segregated by at least 5 m (measured from the upper interior
edge of the bund).”

4.29 Some ventilation was provided at high level within the shed, however, by observation and
opinion there was not 5.5L/s/m2 of ventilation as required by AS 1668.2 The use of
mechanical ventilation and air-conditioning in buildings.

4.30 The emergency eyewash shower was located outside the plant room, however, it was up
a small flight of stairs which, is non-compliant with AS 4775 Emergency eyewash and
shower equipment. AS 4775 stipulates it must take no longer than 10 seconds to reach
the emergency eyewash shower in case of an emergency, it should be on the same level
as the hazard and the area to the system be free from any obstruction that may delay or
prohibit use of the equipment. The emergency eyewash shower was also easily accessible
to the general public, who could operate the equipment at any time.

4.31 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was seen to be in easily accessible locations in the
plant room. First Aid was also seen in accordance with AS:2927-2001. A fire extinguisher
was observed, however, no fire blanket or hose reel was seen in the plant room.

4.32 Existing masonry and concrete structures were experiencing significant salt damp attack
(SDA), masonry walls at the lower level were eroding due to SDA as were the top surfaces
of concrete slabs.

4.33 Pool ladders are beginning to corrode, with rust and rust stains forming on the metallic
surfaces.

4.34 Several pool floor filtered water return inlets were broken.
4.35 The pit cover to the secondary mains water supply tap was cracked and broken.
4.36 A condition survey of all accessible structures was undertaken as part of our investigation.
All visible and relevant defects have been compiled on a Facility Condition register.
Accompanying recommendations have been included where required, along with a photo
catalogue, refer Appendix A & C.

4.37 During our investigation, a rodent (mouse) was seen in the kiosk area, multiple entry points
for rodents to enter the canteen were observed including openings, non-compliant with the
NCC and this requires immediate attention.

4.38 Numerous trip hazards were observed around the site, including undulations in pavements,
tiled floors (male and female changerooms / toilets) and strip drains were not flush with
surrounding surfaces. The undulations in pavement are non-compliant with AS 1428
Design for access and mobility, which allows for +/- 5mm vertical difference at the
abutment of material surfaces. Strip drains also require regular preventative maintenance
(cleaning out) to prevent blockages. Refer Facility Condition register for complete list and
locations.

4.39 None of the light weight timber roof structures were seen to be tied down at the top of
walls, a requirement to prevent uplift from wind actions.

4.40 The rear entry to the plant room, via the roller door, has a large riser (step) to gain access,
greater than the maximum 190mm as specified in the National Construction Code (NCC).

4.41 No equipotential bonding was observed to the metallic pool equipment, or reinforcement.

5 DISCUSSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

5.1 Considering the facilities age, most structures are performing satisfactorily. Although
performing satisfactorily, most infrastructure and buildings at the facility are tired and
ageing. Pool infrastructure at the facility requires remedial work and the buildings would
ideally be upgraded and either redesigned, refurbished or replaced.

5.2 In our opinion the facility has reached a critical point in its design life. As an ageing facility,
remedial work(s) to refurbish the pools & plant-room are required in the short term for
continued functionality.

5.3 Several routes can be considered for remediation of the facility, which, can be tailored to
suit needs of the Mid Murray Council and future community needs as determined by the
Feasibility Study with 180SLS Architects. For this report, remedial options have been
broken down into short-term, medium-term and long-term phases until the Feasibility Study
with council can be undertaken to consider future aquatic needs, addressing the
community surveys to assess community’s requirements

5.4 CJCE recommend the short-term works be undertaken at the end of this season. Medium
and long-term works shall be undertaken based on a community needs survey. This may
include upgrades to the facility such as constructing a splash pad or enclosing the 25m
pool to allow for year around use, generating employment and revenue.

5.5 Refurbishment of pool facilities must include upgrading the facility to meet statutory
regulations concerning “Dignity for the Disabled” pool entry that became mandatory as of
1 May 2011. The new statutory requirements introduce “dignified” disabled access and
egress to pools for Crown owned land at all levels of government including Federal, State
and Local Government owned buildings.

5.6 If the swimming pool has a perimeter of more than 70m in length, then it must have either:

• A ramp, or
• Beach entry, or
• Platform lift.

5.7 If the swimming pool has a perimeter of less than 70m but more than 40m, then it must
have:

• One of the items listed in the immediately preceding point, or

• A sling lift.

5.8 Spalling concrete was seen along the “scum gutters” or “hobs” of the 25m pool, known in
layperson’s terms as “concrete cancer” or more correctly as “carbonation” of concrete.
Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide from the atmosphere progressively penetrates

15
 Client: Mid Murray Council
Report Ref: S16_131
Date: 11.04.2017

inwards from the concrete surface over time and then reacts chemically with the free lime
thus reducing the pH of the concrete. The pH reduction, from around 13 or 14 (normal
unaffected concrete) down to around 9 or 10 removes the protective high alkalinity “jacket”
encasing the reinforcing steel thus rendering the steel susceptible to corrosion. The
products of corrosion (i.e. rust) cause reinforcement to swell in circumference which then
applies a significant tensile stress to the concrete cover causing it to firstly crack along the
bar length and ultimately to break away completely. This process is called “spalling”.
Concrete cover in some cases has reached the stage of incipient spalling judging by the
current magnitude and extent of observed cracking. Leaf strainer pits are also spalling and
require refurbishment or replacement.

5.9 Masonry and concrete components of structures on site, including the plant room /
chemical storage, male and female toilets / changerooms and shelters around the pool
have salt damp attack occurring at the base of walls, along tops of slabs and footings. Salt
damp occurs through moisture ingress to the pores of materials such as masonry and
concrete which, forms crystals on the external surfaces, causing deterioration of the
material itself. Leaking of pools / pipework on site is creating a high water table locally and
contributing to salt damp issues, in conjunction with no damp proof membranes to
structures.

5.10 The balance tank also appeared to be pitted and have areas of corrosion, during the static
head test a significant amount of water was observed leaking through the balance tank
walls and seeping up through the pavers. We recommend concrete repairs and lining the
balance tank with an epoxy coating to the balance tank shell, preserving its ongoing use.

5.11 The water turnover rates in the 25m pool and Toddlers pool are currently outside statutory
requirements. The turn over time does not meet current state regulations however, this is
not to say they didn’t meet regulations at the time the facility was constructed. Any major
works at the facility will involve shortening the turn over time to meet current regulations
and / or separating the pools and creating individual bodies of water.

5.12 Most existing pool plant and equipment is generally considered to be in reasonable
condition, however as mentioned previously does not meet current regulations for turnover
times. If any of the existing pools were to be retained as part of a redevelopment, we would
expect upgrades / additions to pool plant would be provided as part of a refurbishment of
the retained pools.

5.13 The pools are hydraulically linked which does not comply with Australian Standards and
current best practises should refurbishment occur. All pools share a single filtration system,
chemical treatment and balance tank. Although there is a valve on the FWRL to the
toddler’s pool, no valves are present on the SWRL or either the FWRL or SWRL to the
25m pool and hence, the pools cannot be hydraulically separated. If the pools are to remain

16
 Client: Mid Murray Council
Report Ref: S16_131
Date: 11.04.2017

hydraulically linked, then the combined pools volume must be turned over at the most
stringent turnover time (i.e. 2 hours to meet the requirements for the toddler’s pool).
Retaining the pools on a combined system is very inefficient due to the plant equipment
requirements to meet the lower turnover time.

5.14 Our investigation to the 25m pool shell indicated the structure is sound, however, we
recommend concrete core samples and effective testing are undertaken at completion of
this season to confirm the condition of the concrete pool shell.

5.15 Pool depth and warning signage was non-compliant and requires attention.
5.16 Although the static head test showed the pool and associated pipe network is losing
approximately 9,195L per day, 275,850L per month and 3,356,175L per year it is opined
that the leak is far worse than the numbers show. Onsite a layer of clay soils surrounds
the pool, clays have a low permeability rate and therefore hold the water in the pool by not
allowing the water to easily disperse through the soil and away from the pool.

5.17 As a minimum, we recommend upgrading the plant equipment, to achieve a more suitable
turn over time for the 25m pool and toddler pool together with sanitary treatment, these
works can be incorporated into any future requirement / facilities maximising council’s
funding/budgets. To separate each pool onto an individual filtration network at each, to
comply with current Australian Standards, each pool will require its own pumps filters and
chemical sanitation. Please note, an additional pump and filter are required to 25m pool to
meet turnover times. The existing balance tank can be re-used for the 25m pool and we
recommend installing a skimmer box system to the toddler’s pool. All equipment can be
designed to be incorporated into any long-term refurbishment / redevelopment.
Alternatively, the toddlers pool could be upgraded to a splash pad with toys and wet deck
that could as act as a balance tank or be closed until future works are decided upon. Please
note, the 25m pool will require an additional pump and filter to meet current statutory
regulated turnover times. The pools shall be separated onto individual systems, the
chemical treatment is required for both pools, therefore, a new dosing pump and treatment
system is required as a minimum.

5.18 The poor condition of the concourse at is directly attributed to the leaking off-takes to the
“scum gutters”. Water is escaping from the pool through the off-take pipes which, have
historically had issues with leaking and into the soil beneath the concrete concourse. The
founding soils contained on site comprises calcareous soils, which become collapsive
when subjected to a high moisture content because the calcium deposits within the soil
dissolve when in contact with moisture. Hence, it appears the soil / concourse is “sinking”
and causing the undulations in pavers.

5.19 The air heard escaping through the off-takes in the “scum gutter” and when the system
was shut down temporarily in the balance tank, indicates that there are leaks within the
17
 Client: Mid Murray Council
Report Ref: S16_131
Date: 11.04.2017

system and air is being drawn in at these leak locations. A CCTV survey of all pool
pipework and remediation is recommended in the short term.

5.20 To remediate the cracked / dilapidated condition of the pool “hob”, leaking pipes and further
assist with turnover times CJCE recommend demolishing the existing “hob” and “scum
gutter” and installing a new wet deck edge systems. In addition to improving turn over
times, a wet deck edge system allows for better supervision of the pools by life guards and
patrons.

5.21 New polyethylene chemical “skids” (bunded pallets) are required in the plant room for the
hydrochloric acid and cyanuric acid storage.

5.22 The concrete surface of the balance tank was seen in a severely pitted condition and
requires remedial works. It is opined that the balance tank is leaking a substantial amount
of water, when the system was turned off, moisture was seen to be rising through the
pavers near the balance tank. However, if remediated and upgraded slightly it’s the writer’s
opinion it could adequately service the needs of the facilities foreseeable future for the
current arrangement of swimming pools. The balance tank requires cleaning out, then a
condition coat applied to the pitted surface and then lined with epoxy, any “rust spots” will
need to be repaired/removed locally prior to relining the balance tank.

5.23 Tiling to the 25m pool is severely dilapidated and requires significant remedial works based
on the outcome of a tap test following the draining of the 25m pool. Remediation is likely
to include retiling / re-grouting. The condition of the tiling shall be addressed in the short
term as it poses a significant OWH&S and public liability hazard. We recommend
incorporating upgrading of the depth marker and warning tiles at this time.

5.24 Equipotential bonding was not seen in accordance with AS 3000 which requires any pool
structure which is conductive, including all extraneous conductive parts, such as the
reinforcing metal of the pool shell to be connected to an equipotential bonding connection
point. Other items requiring equipotential bonding include conductive fittings attached to
the pool such as ladders, diving boards and anything within arm’s reach of the pool edge
(1.25 m). Equipotential bonding requires to be retrofitting at the facility.

6 CONCLUSIONS

6.1 Based on the outcomes of this investigation it is CJCE’s opinion both concrete pool shell(s)
are in reasonable condition for their age and suitable for re-use should this be desired,
although we recommend pH testing of core samples for final confirmation. In addition to
reconditioning the 25m pool shell, works are required to filtration and sanitation systems
to ensure the facility complies with current Australian Standards and regulations. Should
the following recommendations be undertaken and if concrete cores (25m lap pool &
balance tank), pH testing concur, we would expect the facility to be fully functional for the
next 20-25 years and / or can be incorporated into any future Aquatic needs or council
requirements. Should council wish to construct new concrete shells to either the 25m pool,
toddlers pool or replacement with alternative pools this could be incorporated into the
surrounding infrastructure works.

6.2 The diver dye test identified several leaks throughout the pool shell, however, it is
anticipated most the water loss is occurring in the pipework and balance tank. The greatest
leaks were observed when the system was turned off and the central FWRL was tested
with the dye, the dye was seen been drawn in through the floor inlets, to be confirmed by
a CCTV survey. We were informed the off-take pipes from the “scum gutters” have
previously had issues with leakages and settlement in the pavers was still observed which
is directly correlated to the leaking pipes. It is the opinion of CJCE the majority of water
loss is occurring in the pipes and balance tank.

6.3 The remedial works have been broken down into short term works, medium term works
and long term works. We recommend short term works be undertaken at the completion
of this swimming season (2016/2017) or incorporated into Council’s risk management
strategies to allow the facility to function safely in the following season (2017/2018),
medium term works to be completed within the next two to five years and long term works
within the next five to ten years.

6.4 Short Term Works:

6.4.1 Tiling to the 25m requires immediate attention, we recommend raining the pool and
tap testing the tiles to determine the condition and suitability for re-use. Should the tiles
be deemed ok retiling / re-grouting is recommend to reduce the risk of sharp edges to
patrons. We recommend upgrading warning and depth marking tiles at the same time.
The openings to the concrete lid over the central FWRL are to be sealed at this time
also.

6.4.2 Pool movement / construction joints require a remedial detail to prevent water
escaping through the joints, CJCE can provide this detail.

19
 Client: Mid Murray Council
Report Ref: S16_131
Date: 11.04.2017

6.4.3 Upgrade plant equipment to meet current regulations on turnover times; including
pumps and filtration.

6.4.4 Separate each pool hydraulically i.e. each pool to have own pumps, filters and
sanitation. 25m pool to utilise existing balance tank (following confirmation of condition)
and toddlers pool to be converted to a skimmer box system (similar to residential
systems). Alternatively, the toddlers pool could be upgraded to a splash pad with toys
and wet deck that could as act as a balance tank or be closed until future works are
decided upon. Please note, the 25m pool will require an additional pump and filter to
meet current statutory regulated turnover times. The pools shall be separated onto
individual systems, the chemical treatment is required for both pools, therefore, a new
dosing pump and treatment system is required as a minimum.

6.4.5 Existing balance tank to be cleaned out, all rust spots and concrete defects to be
repaired locally and entire shell be condition coated and relined with an epoxy finish.

6.4.6 A full CCTV survey of all pool pipework is recommended to determine condition of
pipework and suitability for re-use, including the central FWRL through the centre of
the pool. It is anticipated the existing cast iron pipework will be significantly corroded
and leaking a substantial amount of water.

6.4.7 Alarm system to warn of CO2 leakage to be installed above CO2 storage room and
sensors to be installed within room.

6.4.8 Ventilation within the plant room to be addressed to ensure a minimum of 5.5L/s/m2
of ventilation is provided within the plantroom area where chemicals are stored.

6.4.9 Equipotential bonding to be provided to all metallic elements within the pool i.e.
ladders etc. Equipotential bonding should also be retrofitted to pool reinforcement.

6.5 Medium Term Works:

6.5.1 Refurbishment to existing main building, kiosk, toilets and toilets / change rooms, in
particular salt damp treatment.

6.5.1 Although expansion/movement joints currently performing satisfactorily, CJCE

recommend re-waterproofing, with a full remediation detail in the medium term to
prolong the life of the facility.

6.5.2 The off-take pipes from the “Scum gutters” are opined to be leaking a substantial
amount, additionally the “hob” is cracked and spalling. To assist with better pool
supervision, demolish the existing “hob/scum gutter” and install a new wet deck edge
system with flexible connections to all pipework. This will improve visibility for life
guards and parents alike, reducing swimming risks. Please note, this could be
incorporated into the short term works as part of the pipe repairs.

6.6 Long Term Works:

6.6.1 long-term works (5-10 years) shall be undertaken based on a community needs
survey or based on 180SLS Architects advice. There are many paths for refurbishing
the facilities over the long-term and all remediation can be tailored to suit the council
and community needs. Examples of paths undertaken at similar community pools,
include enclosing the 25 pool for year around use or installation of a splash pad outdoor
play area for a more attractive and family friendly environment. Again, this occurred
through public consultation, community need and funding sourced. We recommend a
similar approach, which can run concurrently with facility refurbishment.

6.7 Significant upgrades to either facility must include upgrading the entire facility for
compliance with the dignity for disabled (AS 1428). This will require either platform hoists
or ramps to allow for dignified entry to the swimming pool. We would recommend
incorporating dignity for disabled access into the short-term refurbishment works.

6.8 In addition to making the facilities compliant, the above recommendations will improve the
facilities efficiency significantly and should reduce running costs if operated correctly.
Running costs will be reduced not only by minimising the associated cost of water loss but
also the additional chemical treatment required for constantly introducing new untreated
water into the system. In addition to reducing running costs we believe the facilities will
become more appealing and promote increased use from within the wider communities.
To further promote use of the pool we recommend installing a heating system of some
description to prolong the facilities opening period throughout the year and increase
revenue, this would have a short return on investment in the writer’s opinion.

1. Consultation & Engagement
The development of the Cambrai Swimming Pool Feasibility and Options Report has been informed
by community consultation and stakeholder engagement.

1.1 Consultation Process

A series of consultation mechanisms were used to engage with the wider community and key
stakeholders. These mechanisms were:

• Community Workshop
Cambrai Sports Ground
Wednesday 14th March 2018, 6pm – 7.30pm
73 attendees

• Meetings/discussions
Face to face discussions with representatives od interested community groups
Wednesday 14th March 2018

• Community Survey
Online via surveymonkey.com
Survey open between 2nd – 26th March 2018
201 responses

Figure 1 illustrates the information provided

to the community through distribution of an
informative flyer. The flyer was distributed in
the following ways:

• Emails to the stakeholder database

• Promotion via the Mid Murray
Council Facebook page
• Posting of hard copies on
community notice boards at local
shops, sports ground, school and at
the pool

Figure 1: Community consultation flyer

1.2 Key Findings
Significant information was gathered from the wider community through the consultation processes.
The key community points communicated through consultation mechanisms were:

• The community is generally satisfied with the existing facilities provided at the pool, providing
that health and safety standards are met.
• The paddle pool facility is highly valued, and the community expresses strong desire to
reinstate a facility for those who do not use the main pool.
• Some facilities, such as changerooms, kiosk, BBQ area, would benefit from upgrades
however this is not a primary concern for the community.
• The Cambrai Primary School is a major user of the pool. This facility helps attract families
and is a very highly valued facility for the school.
• VACSWIM is a very highly valued program, bringing students from across a wide region to
learn to swim.
• The community express that more appropriate opening hours and a greater range of
programs/events would encourage and attract more patronage at the pool.
• Current levels of marketing and promotion of the pool and its programs is perceived to be
poor. It is believed that with enhanced marketing and promotion across the wider region
more people would use the facility.
• The aspects of the swimming centre which have the community’s highest ratings are:
o Value for money
o Friendliness of staff
o Main pool
o Water quality
o Supervision/lifeguarding
o Presentation/cleanliness
• The aspects of the swimming centre which have the community’s lowest ratings are:
o Kiosk
o Opening hours
o BBQ
o Change rooms
o Wading pool
o Activity/program range
o Activity/Program quality
• The community highly values being informed about circumstances relating to the pool and
would appreciate the opportunity to attend a follow-up community workshop and to have a
public review of concept options.

1.3 Community Workshop
The community workshop was attended by 73 members of the Cambrai community which was
facilitated by Tredwell Management. Attendees included the wider community and representatives
from the following organisations:

• Cambrai Primary School

• Cambrai Sports Club
• VACSWIM/Cambrai swimming
• Mid Murray Council including employed lifeguards at Cambrai Pool
• State Government Members for Parliament (Electorates: Chaffey and Hammond)

The workshop provided community members an opportunity to learning about the project, reflect on
the value of their pool, discuss their ideas with others and have their opinions heard in an open
forum. The format consisted of a formal presentation about the project background followed by large
and small group discussions centring on the following questions:

• What do you like at the pool?

• What could be improved at the pool?

The most prominent point raised and reiterated by many attendees throughout the community
workshop was that the Cambrai Community is extremely passionate about keeping their local
swimming pool open.

What could be improved at the pool?

A clear message was conveyed from community members that they are happy with the existing
facility and their primary priority is to ensure that the pool meets health and safety standards in
order to stay open into the future.

Improvements to existing facilities

Mannum, Barossa, Mt Pleasant etc.)

Programs/Hours of operation/

• More consistent and reliable opening hours

• Longer opening hours (including opening at lower temperatures and earlier/later options)
• Exploration of “key access” for local pool members to use the facility in their own time
• Existing staff trained for more programs (e.g. variety of fitness classes)
• More community events at the pool (e.g. outdoor movie night, disco, blow up slide event with
lifejackets)

New facilities

Desired approach for further community consultation

At the end of the workshop, most attendees were in agreeance that they would like to be kept up to
date on the project and the state of the pool through another community workshop. It was
suggested that the following approaches could be used to promote the meeting:

• Community Facebook updates

• Emails and phone calls
• Promote through means other than internet
o Local radio
o Flyers at shops around Cambrai and the wider region (e.g. Walkers Flat)

It was suggested that the concept options for the pool could be available to view in hard-copy at a
community space such as the Cambrai School or sports club.

Tredwell Management | Cambrai Swimming Pool Future Options - Consultation Findings Report | April 2018 6|P a g e
1.4 Online Community Survey
An outstanding number of 201 people responded to the online community survey. Respondents
were of varying ages, with 35 – 50 being the most prominent age group.

Of these respondents, the majority (137 people) had used the Cambrai Swimming Pool in the 12
months prior.

Tredwell Management | Cambrai Swimming Pool Future Options - Consultation Findings Report | April 2018 7|P a g e
Of the 24 respondents who indicated they have not used the swimming pool, 7 (28%) indicate that it
is because they are unable to get to the swimming pool and 6 (24%) indicate that it is because they
do not have time. 13 (52%) selected “other” with reasons such as “there are other pools closer to
me”, “I live in Mannum and my kids are part of the Murray Bridge Swimming club, there is no club
for Cambrai”.

Those who had never used the swimming pool were asked the open questions, “What would
encourage you to use the Cambrai Swimming Pool?”. Responses were based around the following
reasons:

• More programs e.g. Baby programs, swimming club (4)

• Changes to opening hours (3)
• Changes to facilities e.g. pool heating, diving board (3)
• Nothing would encourage me / The location is not convenient for me (3)
• More information about opening hours and programs (2)

Tredwell Management | Cambrai Swimming Pool Future Options - Consultation Findings Report | April 2018 8|P a g e
The 175 respondents who had used the pool in the last 12 months were asked the following
questions.

Tredwell Management | Cambrai Swimming Pool Future Options - Consultation Findings Report | April 2018 10 | P a g e
How could the Cambrai Swimming Pool be improved?

All survey respondents were asked the following questions.

Option 1 Retaining the main pool and replacing the wading pool with a splash pad or similar
leisure water feature
Option 2 Replacing the main pool and wading pool with a splash pad or similar leisure water
feature
Option 3 Retaining and upgrading the existing pools

Option 4 Do not support redeveloping the Cambrai Swimming Pool

Tredwell Management | Cambrai Swimming Pool Future Options - Consultation Findings Report | April 2018 11 | P a g e
Respondents who did not support the redevelopment of the Cambrai Swimming Pool expressed the
following reasons:

• Supports only a small population of the council district. Mannum has a larger population and
is a tourist destination with the money could be spent better updating the limited facilities for
locals and tourists
• I don't think it warrants using ratepayers money to fix a pool that is used by such a small
community
• Waste of money. Not many locals in the area. Not an easily accessible town from
surrounding towns. I think it's too far to travel to use facilities. Money would be better spent
elsewhere. Or in a town with more children and families.
• Unless it was redeveloped as an indoor pool I wouldn't use the pool, as I live in Mannum,
Murray bridge pool is closer.
• I think my rates would be better spent elsewhere. Unfortunately to get good facilities that
would get people driving out of their way, the cost would be way too much. I will continue
using Murray Bridge Swimming pool which is just as close to me as Cambrai but also has
other things to do while we are there.

All respondents were invited to provide additional comments in relation to the pool. Many comments
reiterated points already made. The following points provided additional levels of information:

• Needs to have longer opening hours in particular summer school holidays (say 10am to
8pm?). Would prefer to have it open earlier than 3pm during the week for those that would
like to use it without kids after school. Cambrai also cannot go by Mannum weather. Quite
often Cambrai is a lot hotter than Mannum, sometimes by more than 5-6 degrees up to 10
degrees difference.
• We need to provide the community, especially the youth somewhere to be able to socialize
and cool off in the extreme weather that we get.
• It must be retained and well maintained. If the council is struggling with this then they must
speak to members of the community who could help.
• The main pool is superb. Additional activities such as lap swimming and fitness programs
(eg aquarobics) would be attractive to community members. This may require promotion.
Sometimes the pool is cold so maybe a solar blanket would help, particularly late and early
in the season.
• It is good for Vacswim, all classes can be held at the one centre because the pool is deep
enough. This year Vacswim was cancelled at Mannum due to no instructors wanting to teach
at Mannum pool.
• I feel that the pool is underused. Community gatherings could increase the use of the facility
- perhaps by monthly Friday evening "swim and sizzles.." BBQ/fund raisers... opening hours
could be extended at these gatherings to facilitate the inclusion of those locals who are
returning from work, maybe in the city, or some distance away, which would normally
preclude them from participating in pool use.
• Heated pooling and added features to the big pool such as pool sports. Blow up water
course for kids and adults to enjoy, normally found at aquatic centres.
• Really need extra area to be added like splash pad or slide to encourage families with kids to
attend more!

1.5 Stakeholder Interviews
Community organisations in Cambrai and surrounding towns were contacted to participate in face-
to-face discussions about the Cambrai Swimming Pool Feasibility and Options Report.
Organisations who took this opportunity and the key findings from discussion are shown in the table
below.
Table 1: Summary of stakeholder interviews

Organisation Key discussion findings

Cambrai Primary School • The school uses the pool for:
o lunch time on any day which is above 35 degrees
o PE classes
o teaching water safety
o social events/meet and greets
• Existing facilities meet the school’s needs (when toddler pool
is in use)
• School is working toward training a staff member as a life
guard – DECD has advised school that use under this
supervision can be covered through DECD insurance
• The changerooms are not usually used by the school
• DECD provides $9,000 pa towards operational costs (i.e.
chemicals) and has advised it does not have funding avenues
for capital works
Cambrai Hall Committee • Children growing up in Cambrai are great swimmers due to
access to pool
• History of pool (established and funded by community) is
significantly valued
• Pool would likely be used more if opening hours were tailored
to suit the community needs (e.g. later on Friday and
Saturday nights)
• Important that the facilities cater for all ages including
toddlers
• More programs could be implemented at the pool to activate
the space (e.g. BBQ, movie nights”
Sedan Progress Association • Sedan sports clubs (i.e. netball/football) have used the pool
for training etc. in the past.
• Children from Sedan usually learn to swim in the Cambrai
pool
• Barriers to use:
o No heating
o Opening times not flexible

 Cambrai Outdoor Swimming Pool –
Review of Works Completed

Mid Murray Council 10 April 2018

c/o Deb Roberts Our Ref: S16_131
Main street Your Ref:
Cambrai, SA 5353

Dear Deb,

Following Crackerjack Consulting Engineers (CJCE) initial draft report dated

31/03/2017, we understand a portion of the works have been completed, please
see below for entire list provided by the Mid Murray Council, with CJCE
comments below. CJCE were requested by the Mid Murray Council to
undertake a review of the works completed to date and provide comment on
any ongoing compliance issues.

Balance tank
• Epoxy coat floor, tank and walls – please see attached image balance
tank outside + attached invoice 2201 (TPS Aquatics)
• Supply and install SS ladder - please see attached image ladder +
attached invoice 2201 (TPS Aquatics)
• Supply and install SS removable grab rails– please see attached +
attached invoice 2201 (TPS Aquatics)
• Pressure clean - please see attached Invoice 6465 (The Pool Man) for
completed works + invoice 2201 (TPS aquatics)
• Works to stainless steel access panel - please see attached image
balance tank outside + Invoice 6465 (The Pool Man) for completed works.
• Paint top of balance tank with 2 coats of blue epoxy paint including non-
slip finish

CJCE note the above works were completed based on the invoices and
photographs received. As per CJCE’s initial report we opine the balance tank to
be a significant source of water losses and the epoxy coating installed will assist
preventing water losses. Installation of the stainless-steel ladder and removeable
grab rails is in accordance with CJCE’s report, however, we note the ladder is
beginning to corrode. It is common practice for pool operators to dose
chemicals by hand directly into the balance tank, however, this can cause
corrosion due to the high concentration of chemicals which. We have

t. 08 8224 0583 +61 (0) 406 366 287
ABN. 21 518 561 838
contacted TPS Aquatics who are confirming with their supplier / fabricator the
ladder installed was constructed of grade 316 stainless steel. Therefore, the
cause of the corrosion is likely due to the pool operation, to reduce the ongoing
corrosion / deterioration of the ladder in the balance tank we recommend
installing mixing tanks with dosing pumps and injection points to the main filtered
water return line within the plant room. We have not seen any evidence that
concrete cores were taken for pH testing to confirm the condition of the
concrete shell as was recommended in our report.

CCTV Pipe
• CCTV pipe inspection - please see attached Invoice 2201 (TPS Aquatics)
for completed works.

Referring to the invoice / correspondence with TPS Aquatics, CJCE note that the
contractor ‘couldn’t get useful video of the central channel due to the amount
of sludge’ and ‘Access to the scum gutter pipework wasn’t available due to
grate fitting on the outlets’. Therefore, CJCE cannot provide further comment
until these areas have a CCTV survey completed as previously recommended.
CJCE recommend the ‘cracked pipe on a joint on the main return line close to
the balance tank’ identified be repaired to prevent ongoing water losses in
conjunction with any defects identified once the CCTV survey has been
completed.

Toddlers pool
• Has been closed for the 2017/18 swimming season and not open to the
public – please see attached image toddlers pool.
• Please note toddlers pool will be factored in the current feasibility study
which is being completed – this will lead the way for the future of the
toddler’s pool or alternatives.

CJCE confirm from the photos that the Toddlers pool has been closed and
cordoned off. Therefore, the filtration / chemical treatment is servicing a single
body of water (25m pool only) as recommended in CJCE’s report and in
accordance with statutory regulations.

Wall and gutter repairs

• Grout entire surface area of walls including all materials – please see
attached Invoice 6465 (The Pool Man) for completed works.
• Additional grout to entire surface area of walls including all materials -
please see attached Invoice 6466 (The Pool Man) for completed works.
• Prime pool gutters with primer/binder and apply two coats of epoxy paint
- please see attached Invoice 2078 (TPS Aquatics) for completed works.

Based on invoices received and assuming the tiles passed the ‘tap-test’ when

the pool was drained, tile re-grouting has been undertaken in accordance with
CJCE’s report. However, can photographs of tiles please be provided for our
review, including ‘close-ups’ of any areas that may have sharp or exposed
edges of tiles.

Tile replacement
• Replacing tiles where required - please see attached Invoice 6465 (The
Pool Man) for completed works.
• Additional replacement of tiles where required - please see attached
Invoice 6466 (The Pool Man) for completed works.

Based on invoices received broken / damaged tiles have been undertaken in

accordance with CJCE’s report. However, can photographs of tiles please be
provided for our review, including ‘close-ups’ of any areas that may have sharp
or exposed edges of tiles. Please confirm / provide photographs of the
installation of the stainless steel panel over the filtered water return line channel
to the 25m pool.

Pool beam
• Painted pool beam including non-slip finish - please see attached Invoice
6465 (The Pool Man) for completed works.

CJCE recommend replacing the ‘hob and scum gutters’ with a wet deck edge
system. CJCE understand due to budgetary constraints the painting of the
beam including a non-slip finish, was undertaken as a temporary measure. CJCE
advise that the ‘hob and scum gutters’ will require ongoing maintenance as the
‘hob and scum gutters’ continue to spall / deteriorate until full remediation
occurs such as replacement with a wetdeck edge.

Scum gutter
• Grind back sharp top edge of scum gutter. Smooth out with megapoxy
PM and sand back. Give 2 coats of megapoxy MC blue 70 lineal metres-
please see attached Invoice 6467 (The Pool Man) for completed works.

As above, the epoxy coating has been used as a temporary repair in lieu of
replacing the ‘hob and scum gutters’ with a wetdeck edge.

Plant Room
• Emergency eyewash shower moved from outside to inside of plant room
– please see attached image shower moved
• Electrical repairs to pump switch in plant room at the Cambrai pool –
please see attached Invoice 2087 (TPS Aquatics) for completed works

CJCE have reviewed the photograph of the emergency eyewash and shower
relocation and confirm the new location is in accordance with AS 4775 and the
recommendations in our previous report.

Pool depth signage

• Installed signs for .95m, 1.55m, 3.53m – please see attached Cambrai
depth markers added doc

CJCE have review the photographs of depth markers and confirmed they have
been installed, however, from the photographs provided we cannot determine
they have been installed at the correct location as they do not show the tiles
location with respect to the pool shell / changes in depth. We have not seen depth
marking tiles on the concourse or pool floor. We have not observed markings
indicating sharp changes in gradient in the floor. Other hazard warning tiles /
marking including no diving and deep water as both symbols and in written form
were not observed in accordance with the Royal Life Savers Guidelines.

Pump and Water Turnover rates

• Mike from PV Tech inspected the pool on 27/2/18 and sent a follow up
email on 28/2/18 stating The operation of the pool water with the filters at
present are good for people/public use, we have filtration, chemical
dosage and water turn-over, all as per SA Health regulations. Please see
attached confirmation email Cambrai
• Supply and install new pool circulating pump including minor
modification to accommodate same - please see attached Invoice 2077
(TPS Aquatics) for completed works.
• Supply and install new acid dosing pump and system controls - please
see attached Invoice 2079 (TPS Aquatics) for completed works.

Based on the recommend flow rated for pressurized sand filters (25m3/hr/m3)
and the flow rate this would achieve based on 2 No. 1200mm diameter filters,
the turnover time is still greater than the statutory requirement of 6 hours and
non-compliant. To confirm the flow rate being discharged to the pool a flow
measuring device can be installed on the filtered water return pipework in the
plant room to determine the flow rate, which, if provided to CJCE we can then
calculate the turnover rate with more accuracy. Alternatively, if a flow
measuring device has previously been installed on the filtered water return
pipework, please provide the measurement to CJCE for confirmation of turnover
time. If filters are ‘choked’ as per PV Technologies P/L email dated 28/02/2018,
then it is unlikely that the filters will be achieving the recommended flow rate as
they have ‘50 % filter coverage’ which, means effectively half the filter is
‘blocked’, restricting flow through the filter.

CJCE note the above works have been completed.

SafeWork SA
Lucy from SafeWork SA Advisory service also inspected the pool on Friday 16 Feb
2018 – please see attached report SafeWork SA Advisory Report.

We concur with the comments provided in the SafeWork SA Advisory Report that
a chemical register should be kept on site. We also concur that signage should
be updated as per the Manufacturers Safety Data Sheets for each of the
chemicals stored within the plant room and that an experience and trained
pool operator should be responsible for the plant room and chemical storage.
As per our original report, we recommended additional bunded polyethylene
pallets were installed for chemical storage, we agree that chemical containers
should not be stacked as per the SafeWork SA report. We also agree that the
ladder is a potential risk that ‘could potentially pose a manual handling risk and
falls’, this should be addressed immediately with more suitable / sturdy
equipment.

Please note, we have not provided comment to any of the recommended work(s)
contained in our original report that have not yet been completed, and our
recommendations remain as per the report attached.

We trust the above is satisfactory, however, if you or any recipient of this letter
requires further information, please do not hesitate to contact us as below.
