Plunge Pools & Ice Baths
The brief
Cold water is an engineering problem before it is a wellness one. Chilling capacity, insulation and water quality calculated, then built to hold temperature under real use.
Thermal envelope
Insulation build-up and heat gain calculated for the location and duty cycle, so the chiller is sized to hold temperature rather than chase it.
Water quality
Filtration and sanitisation specified for cold-water biology, which behaves nothing like a heated pool. Turnover and dosing designed for daily use by multiple bathers.
Extreme conditions
Where the installation runs outdoors or in polar service, freeze protection is routed through every pipe run and control loop and proven before handover.

Standards & Assurance
- Chartered
- Design led by a Chartered Mechanical Engineer (CEng MIMechE). Calculations are signed, not assumed.
- Class-coordinated
- Marine work coordinated with the vessel's naval architect, yard and Class surveyor before fabrication begins.
- Supervised manufacture
- Vessels and plant built by vetted specialist fabricators to our drawings, and factory acceptance tested with our engineers present before anything ships.
- Commissioned by us
- Delivery, lifting, installation and commissioning supervised by the engineers who drew it.
