Harpurhey Leisure Centre

At the Harpurhey Leisure Centre swimming pool, acoustic design calculations demonstrated there would be a problem with speech audibility in the pool area due to high levels of noise reverberation. Instructors of swimming lessons would find teaching very difficult along side the poor swimming pool acoustics and the serious problem existed of misunderstanding the public address system announcements and instructions in the event of an emergency.

Oscar Acoustics was employed to apply 16mm of SonaSpray K-13 Special to the soffit in white. The installation was completed in one week. The swimming pool acoustics environment is reported as excellent, plus it has the additional benefit of swimming pool condensation control.
