Frequently Asked Questions - Dawn Fraser Swimming Pool, Balmain 1. What was the Dawn Fraser Swimming Pool project? Marine Dock Systems supplied and installed specialised marine infrastructure for the Dawn Fraser Swimming Pool facility at Balmain for Leichhardt Council. 2. Where is the Dawn Fraser Swimming Pool located? The pool is located at Balmain in Sydney, New South Wales, and is one of Australia's most iconic harbour-side swimming facilities. 3. Who was the client for this project? The project was completed for Leichhardt Council as part of the pool's waterfront infrastructure requirements. 4. What marine structures were supplied? The project included specialised brackets, support structures and marine access components designed for long-term waterfront use. 5. Why are marine-grade structures required for swimming pool facilities? Marine environments expose structures to saltwater, tides, UV radiation and constant weathering, requiring durable corrosion-resistant materials. 6. What materials are commonly used in marine pool infrastructure? Marine-grade aluminium, polyethylene flotation, stainless steel fasteners and treated timber are commonly used due to their durability and corrosion resistance. 7. What are the benefits of aluminium marine structures? Aluminium is lightweight, strong, corrosion resistant and requires minimal maintenance in harsh marine environments. 8. Are custom brackets available for waterfront projects? Yes, Marine Dock Systems designs and manufactures custom brackets and structural components to suit specific project requirements. 9. How do marine structures withstand tidal movement? Structures are engineered to accommodate changing water levels, wave action and environmental loads while maintaining safety and stability. 10. What is the expected lifespan of marine infrastructure? When properly designed and maintained, marine infrastructure can provide reliable service for many decades. 11. Why is corrosion resistance important? Saltwater environments can rapidly degrade unsuitable materials, making corrosion-resistant materials essential for long-term performance. 12. Can marine infrastructure be retrofitted to existing facilities? Yes, custom solutions can often be designed to integrate with existing waterfront structures and facilities. 13. What maintenance is required? Routine inspections, cleaning and periodic replacement of wear components help maximise service life and maintain safety standards. 14. Are these systems suitable for public facilities? Yes, Marine Dock Systems designs infrastructure suitable for public recreational facilities, councils and commercial marine projects. 15. What engineering considerations are involved? Factors such as tidal range, wave action, loading requirements, corrosion exposure and user safety are considered during design. 16. Can Marine Dock Systems provide engineering drawings? Yes, detailed drawings and project-specific documentation can be supplied as required for fabrication and installation. 17. Are Australian standards considered during design? Projects are designed to meet relevant engineering and marine construction requirements applicable to the project location. 18. Can similar infrastructure be supplied for swimming enclosures? Yes, custom marine structures can be designed for swimming enclosures, waterfront pools, recreational facilities and public access areas. 19. Are Marine Dock Systems products Australian made? Yes, Marine Dock Systems manufactures Australian-made marine infrastructure designed specifically for Australian conditions. 20. How can I request a quote for a marine infrastructure project?
