A new era in world sport will get underway this summer as Glasgow and Berlin host the inaugural European Championships in August. 12 venues across Glasgow and Scotland will host 6 sports including Aquatics, Cycling, Golf, Gymnastics, Rowing and Triathalon. Berlin will host the Athletics. B+W are thrilled to be involved in this innovative multisport Championship in Glasgow. We are working alongside our partner Myrtha in order to install the swimming pool filtration for the 30m x 20m x 3m Myrtha Pool for the temporary Synchronised Swimming competition. The event will see over 1,000 of the leading stars in European Aquatics compete for moments of glory across Scotland. The sports programme in Glasgow will start with a number of qualifying rounds on 2nd August before a fully packed 10-day sport schedule which will be televised to create a fantastic viewing experience for audiences.

The new £68m Barony Campus being built in East Ayrshire is set to be one of the most exciting learning campuses ever built in Scotland. Set out as a series of four interconnected buildings it will provide accommodation for Early Years, Primary and Secondary learning communities including young people with additional support needs. Councillor Douglas Reid, Leader of East Ayrshire Council said: “The design will provide a nurturing 21st century learning and teaching environment to enable every child and young person to reach their full potential, and members of the community in Cumnock, Auchinleck and the surrounding villages will also be able to take advantage of the facilities on offer.” The facility will especially be designed to assist pupils requiring additional support needs and will feature 6 fully equipped classrooms, dining facilities, a hydrotherapy pool, a state of the art sensory room and additional therapy spaces. B+W are delighted to be carrying out the design and installation of the Myrtha hydrotherapy pool and associated filtration plant. Not only will the new campus provide exceptional learning facilities but will also offer an unprecedented level of sports provision including 2 full sized synthetic pitches, a 400m 4 lane running track with 6 lane sprint, 2 full sized grass pitches, a 7 aside floodlit synthetic pitch and an outdoor basketball court, together with 13 indoor courts in various configurations. Working alongside main contractors Morrison Construction, this exciting campus development is scheduled for completion by summer 2020.

The new £17.5m Sedbergh Sports and Leisure Facility is part of an ongoing investment programme by Bradford District Council to replace outdated and inefficient leisure facilities, with modern, purpose built amenities that better serve local communities and encourage greater participation in sports. This, new build, high spec centre will include a 25m and learner pool along with an 8 court sports hall, 80 station fitness suite, dance studios and outdoor pitches for football and rugby. B+W are delighted to have been appointed as specialist contractors on this project, working once again alongside ISG as the main contractors. Our scope of works will include the design, supply, install and commissioning of the 25m main pool and 12m learner pool filtration systems. The learner pool will also benefit from a full moveable floor, providing flexibility for users of all abilities and allowing the operator to offer a range of activities. Tim Harvey, regional director for ISG, said: “This latest investment in community leisure facilities underscores the importance Bradford District Council places on fitness and wellbeing across the region”. The project is due for completion in Summer 2019.
