Fercon were engaged to carry out the structural remediation of an existing heritage listed brick wall to the perimeter of Fitzroy Swimming Pool complex. The pool remained fully operational for the duration of the project, with surrounding streets and footpaths only minimally affected.

Works included the underpinning and installation of new brick piers to approx. 60m of existing brick wall, which features the Heritage Listed “Aqua Profonda” sign, as well as installing structural steel frames to support approx. 120m of the wall. Fercon were responsible for overseeing the re-painting of the wall, including the “Aqua Profonda” sign under the advice of Heritage Victoria. Further to this, the existing concrete terrace seating was also reinforced.

A new automatic service gate was installed, as well as shade cloth to the new steel frames to provide much needed shade to the patrons of the pool.
