Decking at Bell Center Pool to Undergo Repairs

The soils at the Bell Recreation Center pool facilities are currently undergoing testing to determine why a section of the cool decking around the pool recently began to settle and become uneven. Since the Bell Center project is still under warranty, the project’s original contractor has visited the Recreation Centers of Sun City, Inc., site to determine the cause of the settling. 

According to RCSC Director of Centers Operations Jim Wellman, a section of the cool decking between the competitive pool and the walking pool settled between the expansion joints. As a result, the decking became uneven. Temporary fencing was erected around the site for safety reasons. 

The contractor had to open up the decking in order to determine the cause of the settling and is currently waiting for results from moisture tests performed on the soils. Once the testing results are received the contractor will be able to determine the problem, repair it and reinstall the cool decking. 

The Bell pool and spa facilities will remain open throughout the repairs.
