The Company and Project
FT Leisure – New installation for Swimming Pool Solutions

Swimming pool engineering specialists FT Leisure deliver innovative engineering solutions to the public swimming pool
industry, creating safe, fun and functional swimming pools.

Bensons has a long and successful relationship with FT Leisure. Together we have collaborated on the design of control panels

Our service to FT Leisure includes both the design and manufacture of control panels together with the programming of the PLCs
housed within the panels. This provides the advanced levels of control required to optimise the operation of the end system.

The Challenge

A quality, Integrated and Networked suite of
control panels within space constraints.

FT Leisure won the major contract to provide the swimming pool solutions
for holiday company Center Parcs’ newest site; Longford Forest in the
Republic of Ireland, which opened in 2019.

A key feature of the Longford Forest site is its Subtropical Swimming
Paradise. This attraction includes a wave pool, slides, chutes, wild water
rapids, outdoor pools, a lazy river, flumes, a children’s pool, plus a spa with
hot tubs.

To meet Center Parcs’ requirements, FT Leisure needed an integrated and
networked suite of control panels, that would enable their wider system. This
would provide a central point of control and monitoring for all the various
pools on the site.

As Center Parcs needed to optimise the space on site for
holidaymakers, they naturally wanted to minimise the space
taken up by plant and equipment.

A second consideration was the time the project would take.
The control panel suite needed to be designed, built and
installed into the site plan room at an early stage of the
site construct
