Clipsal SA Solutions Project of the Month – State Aquatic Centre & GP Plus Development

In May 2010 Leonard Electrics embarked on the exciting challenge of providing the electrical services to the State Aquatic Centre and GP Plus Marion. The project included a 5-storey car park and urban plaza flowing between the two buildings.

The Aquatic Centre comprised of a 50m Competition Pool, Water Polo and Dive Pool with grandstand seating and a Leisure Water area. The facility also contains world-class training and fitness areas, as well as retail spaces and admin work areas.

Lighting throughout the complex is controlled via C-Bus colour touch screens, as well as the car park and Plaza. Due to the nature of the building the use of fibreglass and stainless steel products was required.

The GP Plus Health Facility includes an undercroft car park and 4 levels of medical care. Many areas were required to meet AS3003 for Patient Treatment with the extensive use of the Medilec Range. Again C-Bus was used to control lighting throughout the building.

The 10million dollar electrical contract was completed in less than 12 months, with 38 Electricians working at its peak delivering the successful handover to the State Government on time.
