Not everything on site is as it seems! 👀

What looks like a collection of giant plastic crates is actually an underground attenuation tank.

This clever drainage feature is designed to temporarily store rainwater during periods of heavy rainfall before releasing it slowly into the drainage network. It helps reduce flood risk and supports sustainable water management across the site.

Once covered over, you'll never know it's there, but it will be working hard behind the scenes for years to come.

Work is continuing on the learner pool area. 🌊

Although it's not quite as far along as the main pool, good progress is being made with the blinding layer currently being installed.

You'll also spot a deeper excavation nearby, which will house the plant room and balance tank. This is the pool's control centre, containing the pumps, filters and systems that keep the water clean, heated and circulating properly.

The deep end is making great progress. 💪

A waterproof membrane is now in place and teams are busy installing steel reinforcement that will help form the pool structure. A large steel frame connects the foundations deep below ground to the framework above.

Once concrete is poured, these elements will work together to create a strong, durable pool structure designed to stand the test of time.

As work continues at Bransbury Park, one of the most interesting discoveries on site so far has been this ceramic hot water bottle 🏺

A quick Google search indicates this dates from the early 1900s - it was uncovered during construction works. What makes the find even more remarkable is that the main body and stopper were discovered separately, days apart.
After potentially spending decades underground, the two pieces have now been reunited once again.

Behind the scenes, the foundations for the main pool are taking shape. 🏊

The area has now been blinded with a layer of concrete, creating a smooth, level surface ready for construction. A layer of insulation has been installed around the pile cages, while a damp-proof membrane is being added to protect the structure from moisture.

There may not be any water in sight just yet, but every step brings us closer to seeing the new pool come to life.

The 25 metre main pool is already beginning to take shape!

You'll notice that a fresh layer of concrete blinding has been applied to the deeper part of the pool, providing a clean, dry, and level surface.

With all the piling in place below the pool that we've shown you before, this will hold the structure securely in place as the groundwater level changes in the park throughout the seasons.

Great to see one of the pride down here at the park!
