Engineering For Leisure Buildings.

Sports halls, hotels, pools and hospitality. Designing services that cope with high and variable occupancy, handle water-heavy environments, and keep the energy intensity of these buildings under control.

Building Types We Work On

Leisure Isn't One Building Type.

A swimming pool has different demands to a hotel, and a sports hall different again. We design across the leisure range, to the specific environment each one creates.

01

Sports Halls And Centres

High-occupancy spaces with variable loads and demanding ventilation requirements.

02

Swimming Pools

High-humidity environments needing specialist ventilation, heat recovery and corrosion-resistant design.

03

Hotels

Guest comfort, hot water demand and back-of-house services across a building that runs around the clock.

04

Hospitality And Restaurants

Kitchen extract, comfort and the services a busy food environment depends on.

05

Gyms And Fitness

Ventilation and cooling designed for high heat and moisture loads from intensive use.

06

Visitor Attractions

Variable-occupancy public buildings where comfort and resilience both matter.

What Leisure Buildings Need

Four Things Leisure Engineering
Has To Get Right.

Leisure buildings work hard. High occupancy, heavy water use and intense energy demand all land on the engineering.

01

Peak Occupancy Loads

Leisure buildings swing from empty to full and back. We design ventilation and cooling for the peaks without wasting energy at the troughs.

02

Water-Heavy Systems

Pools, showers and kitchens make leisure buildings water-intensive. We design supply, drainage and hot water for genuinely heavy demand.

03

Energy Intensity

Pools and gyms are among the most energy-hungry buildings there are. We design heat recovery and efficient systems to keep running costs viable.

04

High-Moisture Environments

Pools and wet areas are corrosive and demanding. We design ventilation and materials that hold up in conditions that destroy ordinary systems.

The Same Engineering Principles, Calibrated To Leisure.

Discuss your project

Robust simplicity earns its keep in leisure buildings, which run hard and rarely close. Operators need systems that keep performing through constant use, and that they can maintain without shutting the doors. The clever option that needs babysitting is the wrong option here.

In practice that means designing ventilation and cooling for genuine peak occupancy, handling the heavy water demand of pools, showers and kitchens, recovering heat wherever the energy intensity justifies it, and specifying systems that survive high-moisture environments.

From feasibility through to commissioning, the directors stay close to the project. We work alongside architects we know, with main contractors we've delivered with before, including Kier and Morgan Sindall.
