Leyland swimming pool provider World Leisure (UK) Ltd has been appointed by global construction services company ISG to install a new 25-metre, five-lane swimming pool as part of a £7.4 million refurbishment and extension of Monmouth Leisure Centre in South Wales
ISG was appointed by Alliance Leisure to deliver the full contract, with this being the 18th awarded to ISG by the leisure provider through a long-standing framework agreement.
The multi-phased project sees ISG refurbish the existing leisure centre building and deliver a new steel-frame, glass-fronted extension,housing a children’s play area and café. The refurbished leisure centre will retain the existing squash courts and house a toning suite, group cycling studio, exercise studio and 65-station gym, which is scheduled to open to the public in summer 2018.
World Leisure has been contracted to provide a new 25-metre, five-lane pool, which will open in winter 2018. The project is the second one awarded to World Leisure by ISG and follows the installation of the structural pool and finishes, water hydraulics and filtration atthe new £14.8m seafront water park in Rhyl.
The full project involves the construction of a temporary sports hall to allow Monmouth Comprehensive School and the local community to continue to use sporting facilities whilst work is carried out. Once completed, the centre will be run by Monmouthshire County Council.
Alliance Leisure was established to respond to the changing development needs of the public sector, education and growing leisure trust market through facility development and support to improve or expand leisure products and services.
World Leisure managing director Simon Smith said: “We are extremely pleased to have been contracted again by ISG on this major contract. It’s great to be part of the continued partnership between ISG and Alliance Leisure, which is responsible for transforming and revitalising many existing local authority leisure amenities to a standard that now rivals facilities in the private sector.”
