Project Overview

How we completed the restoration

In August 2024, Fibreglaze delivered a coordinated repair program for Quilpie Shire Council across the Eromanga and Quilpie aquatic centres. At Eromanga, failed backfill and groundwater pressure had deformed sections of the 20 x 6 m, three-piece moulded fibreglass pool shell, with osmosis also identified.

Working alongside Council’s civil works, Fibreglaze repaired and pressure-tested exposed plumbing, realigned and reinforced the deformed walls, treated osmosis, and resurfaced the pool with the Enduratec system. Fibreglaze also supervised the engineered backfill reinstatement to ensure the pool shell remained aligned.

Work completed

  • Inspected and documented the condition of the Eromanga asset.
  • Coordinated the Eromanga pool repair with Council-led pumping, excavation, backfilling and external civil works.
  • Repaired and pressure-tested plumbing exposed behind the excavated Eromanga pool walls.
  • Cut, realigned and reinforced deformed sections of the moulded fibreglass shell.
  • Ground out and repaired identified osmosis damage.
  • Prepared and resurfaced the 180 m² pool interior with a vinyl ester fibreglass laminate and AquaGuard finishing system.
  • Coordinated the pool-refilling and wall-backfilling requirements with Council.

Deformed Shells

Groundwater, lost support or prolonged movement can push a fibreglass floor upward and pull walls inward. Repair requires a detailed inspection of the shell, surrounding ground and the cause of the distortion.

Wearing & Fading

A faded, chalky or worn pool surface can become rough, porous and harder to keep clean. The condition should be assessed before resurfacing so weak material is removed and underlying defects are repaired.

Osmosis

Osmosis can create raised blisters in a fibreglass pool when water penetrates the surface and reacts within the laminate. Proper treatment requires removal of affected material and reconstruction with an immersion-suitable fibreglass system.
