We were commissioned by the steelwork fabricator to deliver detailed 3D steelwork modelling and detailing for an indoor aquatic centre. The facility includes two 50-metre swimming pools and a 25-metre diving pool, with seating for up to 17,500 spectators. Our scope included connection design for the 17,500-seat spectator terrace and the centre’s distinctive long-span roof, supported by a 90-metre roof truss. We also designed the roof truss lifting beam and associated brackets.
Using the coordinated 3D model, we produced steelwork arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings and NC data for automated cutting and drilling, alongside comprehensive clash detection to support efficient construction.
The project was delivered by a flexible team of dedicated, highly experienced structural engineers, providing the specialist capability required for a complex, high-profile venue.
