Puddle Ducks Swim Academy
Energy Efficiency Upgrades for a Community Swim Facility
Puddle Ducks Swim Academy, a well known local facility, partnered with MKG Electrical for a major solar and electrical upgrade. This project aimed to reduce long term energy costs, enhance daily operations, and support the centre’s broader commitment to sustainability and environmentally responsible practices.
Scope of Work
A comprehensive upgrade combining solar energy generation with electrical efficiency improvements across the facility.
Solar System Installation
A solar panel system was designed and installed to reduce reliance on grid electricity and harness renewable energy. The system was tailored to meet the centre’s operational energy demands, especially during peak usage periods.
Power Efficiency Enhancements
Minor electrical works were carried out alongside the solar installation to optimise energy use, improve system integration and support the site’s energy efficiency goals and environmental responsibility.
Sustainability Planning
Components were selected for their high performance and energy efficiency to ensure a lasting positive impact. The upgrade supports the facility’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and running costs.
Challenges and Solutions
Delivering solar energy upgrades in a high-traffic, public-facing facility required careful planning, stakeholder communication, and a clear focus on sustainability outcomes.
Maintaining Access and Safety During Works
As an operational swim facility, it was essential to avoid disruption and maintain a safe environment for patrons. All work was scheduled outside of peak hours, with clear communication maintained between our team and facility management to ensure safety protocols were followed throughout the project.
Designing for Long-Term Energy Impact
The system needed to deliver strong environmental and financial returns for a facility with consistent, high energy usage. We worked closely with the client to design a fit-for-purpose solar solution that aligned with usage patterns and future-proofed the facility’s energy performance.
Outcome
The completed upgrades have significantly reduced energy consumption and operating costs at Puddle Ducks Swim Academy. The new solar system now supplies a substantial portion of the facility’s power, and electrical improvements have enhanced safety and system reliability. This project stands as a strong example of sustainable improvement in a community focused setting, encouraging others to follow suit in adopting green energy solutions.
