Leak Detection in Fitness Centres

Fitness centres pose particular problems for building mangers.  Problems can be varied and complex and result from faults in pools, drainage gullies, waterproofing to shower areas, steam rooms, etc. When they occur, the occupants below can be seriously affected by the effects.

At Thornton Consulting, we have investigated leaks from a number of such fitness centres, in the process identifying many different problem points.

Investigations into this type of problem normally requires an initial consultancy visit, requiring initial inspection above and below, which can pose problems of timing associated with access to changing areas.

It is also essential to gain as deep an understanding as possible of design and construction in the fitness area, so the co-operation of their management is vital to the smooth running of such an investigative process.

The next step is to develop a progressive test regime, in which we have developed considerable expertise over recent years.
