Case details

Intro Case

A retirement community needed to renovate their aging pool to meet updated safety regulations and enhance its aesthetic appeal. The existing pool had outdated tiles, inefficient heating systems, and safety issues that impacted the residents' experience. The goal was to create a safer, more comfortable pool area that would provide a relaxing and enjoyable space for elderly residents.

Conclusion

• Outdated and unsafe pool infrastructure.

• Poor aesthetic appeal due to aging tiles and equipment.

• Heating and filtration systems were inefficient, leading to higher operational costs.

Our Approach

We proposed a full-scale renovation that focused on safety, efficiency, and aesthetics:

• Safety Enhancements: Installed anti-slip tiles, added handrails, and made the pool floor more accessible with gradual slopes to accommodate elderly residents.

• Energy-Efficient Upgrades: Replaced the old heating and filtration systems with modern, energy-efficient models to reduce operational costs and improve water quality.

• Aesthetic Improvements: Updated the pool’s design with new tiles, a fresh color scheme, and modern landscaping to create a more inviting and relaxing atmosphere.

• Compliance: Ensured all renovations met updated safety and accessibility standards required for the community.

Execution

The renovation was completed in stages to minimize disruption for residents. Work was scheduled during off-peak hours, and we provided regular progress updates. After the renovation, we conducted a final inspection to ensure all safety and quality standards were met.

Conclusion

• The pool was outdated and did not meet current safety standards.

• The existing heating and filtration systems were inefficient and costly.

• The pool's design was no longer suitable for the needs of the community.

Results

• 60% reduction in energy consumption thanks to the new heating and filtration systems.

• Significant improvement in pool safety, with fewer incidents and a safer environment for residents.

• Enhanced aesthetics led to positive feedback from residents and their families.

• Increased usage of the pool, with more residents taking part in aquatic fitness programs.

Ending Result

This pool renovation case study demonstrates how strategic upgrades can enhance the functionality, safety, and enjoyment of a pool. By addressing both aesthetic and operational concerns, we helped the retirement community offer a safer and more comfortable space for its residents, improving both their experience and the facility’s long-term sustainability.
