Project Details

Apollo Projects was successfully appointed to design and build the new Norman Kirk Memorial Pool in Lyttelton, after the original facility was destroyed in the Canterbury earthquakes. Completed in February 2015, the facility includes a new 25m pool with accessibility ramp, office/reception, amenities and changing facilities, as well as new retaining walls and enhanced landscaping.

With stunning views over Lyttelton Harbour, the facility is fitted with a state-of-the-art stainless steel pool with PVC membrane that eliminates many of the problems commonly associated with pool construction such as deterioration, cracking and joint failure, and is ideal for poor ground conditions or areas with potential ground movement. The filtration system for the main pool is world leading and does not require a balance tank or backwash tank, requires less plant room space, uses significantly less water during backwashing and provides exceptional water quality.

Apollo’s design and build proficiency combined with specialist aquatic expertise has resulted in an outstanding new facility for Christchurch City Council.
