At War Heroes Stadium in Sangrur, Punjab, a 50-metre competition pool that had served local swimmers for more than three decades has been given a new lease of life.
The project marks the first application of RenovAction technology in India. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding the ageing concrete basin, the project team refurbished the existing structure in situ. This approach reduced the scale and disruption of the works whilst preserving an important facility for local training and competition. The upgraded pool was also designed to meet World Aquatics requirements, supporting its continued use for competitive swimming.
Developed for ageing, structurally compromised or hydraulically outdated concrete pools, RenovAction uses PVC-laminated stainless-steel panels to create a new watertight internal structure and renew the pool finish. At Sangrur, the system allowed the existing basin to be modernised without rebuilding it from the ground up, helping to reduce construction time, costs and waste compared with full demolition and reconstruction.

The pool also features the exclusive Myrtha White finish, a surface technology designed to help limit bacterial proliferation and reduce the amount of chemicals required for routine cleaning, supporting water quality and more efficient day-to-day operation.
Delivered in collaboration with general contractor Vishwas Builders, the refurbished facility was officially inaugurated by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann. The project has renewed a long-standing public sports asset for Sangrur and demonstrates how an ageing competition pool can be brought up to current standards whilst retaining its existing structure, history and role within the local community.
