MAAC July Update – pouring concrete at the MAAC

08-08-2022

The pools are nearing the stage of concrete pour in the upcoming weeks with the balance tanks for the pools poured recently. 

There is much movement on site and the team of concreters are out every day making a dint in the work.

The photos show the framing and pouring of the concrete balance tanks and best demonstrates the work involved in that process.

Adam, Nabil, Amir and Adham are the hardworking professional team moving the project ahead after months of delays caused by many factors including inclement wet weather, shortage of available materials, price increases and shortage of available staff.  

Anyone building or attempting to build this year will understand the frustration and delays being experienced in the construction industry.

Unfortunately, all this has pushed the project back and again the deadline has moved with construction of the pools due to be completed during the summer months.  

After construction there is a two-month phase for the pool’s commissioning.  I hesitate to suggest a new date for completion because so many factors have been outside our builder’s control to this point in time.

In the meantime, the concreting team are pushing forward in all sorts of Crookwell weather, including rain, a little snow and lots of icy/windy conditions.  But their work ethic and attitude to the MAAC project has been inspiring and gives us hope that we will be building pools and facilities in the upcoming months. 

Council will provide another update during August.
