Safety is always of
paramount importance around poolsides, whether they are indoors or
outside. When Chris McCall the School
Marshal of Solihull School in the West Midlands
contacted Tact, the problem he needed to solve tested both the ingenuity and
versatility of our pool surrounds.
The school required
a high quality anti-slip surface with good looks and easy maintenance. The school pool had originally been built as
an outdoor facility and had later been roofed over. To the side of the pool is an unusually steep
slope which runs down to an open channel drain and then slopes away in opposite
direction. With polished concrete and a
10º slope to the open gulley and then a slope up in the other direction this safety
hazard was a cause of accidents.
Tact’s Sales
Director, John Highnam, recommended ‘Pedestrian’ TactTiles in the schools’
colours – light blue and yellow. Tact’s
contract team installed the surround with ease in just one day. The Pedestrian
tiles are supported under the gully and are easily unzipped for cleaning.
‘We’re delighted
with the finished results’ says Chris.
He is also keen to report complete satisfaction from his sports staff on
all the safety aspects of the installation.
Another ‘slip and
trip hazard’ resolved by the team at Tact.
