High-consequence defects were not consistently visible in existing renewal priorities.

Aquatic & Leisure Asset Expenditure Planning
A risk-led expenditure plan for a complex aquatic facility, bringing condition evidence, asset data and shutdown planning into one programme.

The brief
A complex problem,
made actionable.
Aquatic environments accelerate deterioration and create strong dependencies between structure, fabric, mechanical systems and operations. Existing asset information required technical interrogation before it could support confident renewal forecasting, particularly where corrosion, access constraints and disruptive works overlapped.
RealBuilt’s role
- Building and asset condition inspections
- Asset register and taxonomy quality review
- Defect identification and risk prioritisation
- CAPEX, OPEX and investigation planning
- Renewal timing and shutdown coordination
What mattered
The issues behind
the headline.
Condition, lifecycle and cost data required reconciliation before forecasting.
Several renewals would benefit from coordinated delivery during a major shutdown window.
Our response
Structure first.
Then momentum.
Rebuild the evidence base
Tested asset records against observed condition, operational context and specialist-report evidence.
Separate risk from age
Prioritised safety, integrity, service continuity and investigative needs rather than relying on lifecycle dates alone.
Programme disruption intelligently
Grouped compatible projects and investigations around access, shutdown and operational constraints.
The deliverables
Technical substance,
clearly packaged.
A more defensible forward programme was established, connecting asset condition and risk with the practical realities of investigation, access, shutdown and capital delivery.
