PROJECT SUMMARY:
H2O Engineering was awarded the contract to undertake upgrade work at Glenfield Leisure Centre to the Learner Pool Filtration and Heating Plant, repairs to the Main Pool VDE Filter Tank and conversion of the Chemical Dosing System from Chlorine Gas to Sodium Hypochlorite including a pH correction system using CO2 Gas.

CLIENT: Auckland Council
