Peterborough Float Centre Progress Update

The slow, autumnal creep of the progress to opening Flow Spa over that last few months has transformed into a turbo-charged rocket blast forward. In terms of visible progress, this last month has been nothing less than spectacular. After getting city building permit approval at the very beginning of the month, it was all hands on deck to make progress before the Christmas and New Years breaks impeded the momentum.

Removing the concrete.

The floor was cut to make way for the shower drains - the crucial first step when it comes to constructing float rooms as private showers are part of the experience.

With the floor cut, the plumber was able to put the first piece of the puzzle together in terms of room requirements.

Next were the frames for the walls. While the plumber was still plumbing away, we started to see most of the walls being framed in. This has been the most visibly dramatic change thus far.

Out With The Old...

In With The New!

Then the intermediate permits started to fall into place. The frames were inspected, followed by the underground plumbing. With those permits in place, we were able to pour the cement back down to close up those trenches for the shower drains. All like a beautiful symphony of construction.

With the holidays closing in on us we still had some time to continue the framing of the walls and start on the electrical work. A few days later the wiring was in place and like Jordan in the fourth quarter, the electrical inspector came in to approve the work and put the finishing touches on a successful month of building out the float centre.

Now we see the changing of the guard as the next trade comes into the scene to modify the HVAC system to suit each of the new rooms we are building.

The First Tank Arrives!

In the background with all of the renovations going on, there was still much to do this past month to see that our timeline for opening remained true. All of our equipment is in the final stages of production, if not already shipped and delivered to us, like our Float Pod which arrived from the U.S.

Our new sign.

Holiday pre-sales were a blast and a radio ad plus overhead signage helped to spread awareness of our burgeoning existence.

And now we move into the second half of renovations. With everything in its place, it will be time to put together the final package and present Flow Spa to the world. If all goes according to plan and we don’t face any hold ups we will be open sometime in February.
