Rotorua aquatic centre roof

Rotorua · 2025

A 38-metre clear span over a pool that could not be drained.

Our longest single span, and the constraint was that the pool below stayed full: you cannot put a crane pad or a prop where there is eight lanes of water. So the trusses were assembled on the ground in two halves, spliced in the air on a single lift each, and every connection was designed to be made from a boom lift rather than off scaffold. Six lifts, six mornings, no water out of the pool.
