Gammon has been awarded a HK$1,000 million contract by the HKSAR Architectural Services Department for the redevelopment of a three-storey Kwun Tong Swimming Pool Complex.

The project, which occupies an area of 39,000 square metres, are delivered in two stages.

The first stage primarily covers the construction of the new Complex.  It includes a 50-metre x 25-metre indoor heated main pool, a 25-metre x 30-metre indoor heated training pool, an indoor spectator stand with a seating capacity for 1,500 spectators, a 50-metre x 21-metre outdoor secondary pool, two 25-metre x 12.5-metre outdoor teaching pools, a sunbathing area and ancillary facilities.

The second stage, to be commenced upon completion of the new Swimming Pool Complex, involves the demolition of the existing pool and construction of a recreation ground.

The overall project involves the construction of a 45-metre span iconic steel roof structure weighing 400 tonnes.  BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology is applied for simulation, calculation and removal of potential hazards before the actual execution work.

The new Complex incorporates a number of sustainability features, including PV panels for electricity generation for public lighting, solar tubes to provide heated water for changing rooms and recycled rainwater for irrigation.
