The Hindmarsh Difference
Hindmarsh suggested a number of innovations and additional improvements to the project that the Client undertook, which will provide long-term benefits to the operation of the centre, including upgrades to the pool filters, the addition of remote monitoring to allow operators external access and installation of a brand new solar heating system.
Despite facing numerous challenges, including the wettest August on record for 12 years, Hindmarsh completed the project in time for the start of the summer season to the appraised satisfaction of the Client.
