Approach
The new build was delivered within a live environment, with the existing leisure centre remaining operational throughout much of the construction. This required a phased approach, detailed sequencing, services coordination and flexibility to minimise disruption to vital community services.
- Phase One involved constructing the new leisure centre and ARC, replacing Kelvinbank Resource Centre. Dalkia’s team installed and commissioned a wide range of systems to support the diverse use of the building including lighting, fire and security systems, plumbing, solar PV, EV charging, BMS and data infrastructure.
- Phase Two focused on the new Sports Dome, featuring two football pitches and a tennis court. Dalkia continued its involvement by delivering the M&E infrastructure to support the dome’s operation and accessibility.
A Building Information Model (BIM) was developed and actively used throughout this complex, multi-phase build. This enabled early detection of potential spatial and technical issues, allowing teams to refine installation strategies before work commenced, reducing disruption, rework and ensuring a smooth delivery.
