The DG One swimming pool in Dumfries was shut in October 2014 to investigate ongoing problems, including serious pool leakage and excessive heat loss.
The main works include replacement of all roof areas, extensive replacement of external cladding and brickwork, installing a damp proof course, pools to be re-tanked and all pool side screeds and tiling replaced.
Kier Northern built the council’s £17m flagship leisure centre, which opened back in 2008.
Within weeks, tiles were coming loose in a training pool and the main pool was closed on two different occasions.
The second shutdown prompted a survey which uncovered defects leading to the current closure.
