To make this possible, the project team used a 10-ft-tall pool deck that spanned an acre to avoid drilling into the stadium floor and included three pools for warm-up, cool-down and competition. Pre-work included installing a tap into the heating hot water system and a piping extension for a heat exchanger that maintained the pool temperatures at the required 79\u00b0F.<\/p>\n<p>In the lead up to the event and to combat potential schedule delay, the project team planned daily and hourly on major activities. The pool materials were procured in Italy and took four weeks to travel by barge to the U.S. Sourcing the water posed another problem. The project team determined that the most efficient way to provide the water was to pump it into the stadium using a Capitol Avenue fire hydrant. Two million gallons of water came through the hydrant, went into a clarifying pump and through a heater before it was moved into the pools.<\/p>\n<p>A meticulous two-year planning and coordination effort paid off with the project\u2019s on time and within budget completion in June 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.enr.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials Pools &#13; &#13; Indianapolis &#13; &#13; Award of Merit &#13; &#13; Submitted by Shiel Sexton Co. &#13; &#13; Owner: USA Swimming; Indiana Sports Corp. &#13; &#13; Engineer of Record: Counsilman-Hunsacker &#13; &#13; Pool Manufacturer: Myrtha Pools &#13; &#13; Pool Contractor: Spear Corp. &#13; &#13; Production\/Decking: Dodd Technologies &#13; &#13; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2148172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[410638,410578,347239,410639,314882],"class_list":["post-2148171","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-award-of-merit","tag-enr-2025-midwest-best-projects","tag-indiana","tag-shiel-sexton-co","tag-sports-entertainment"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Award-of-Merit-Sports-and-Entertainment-2024-US-Olympic-Team.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2148171","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2148171"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2148171\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2148173,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2148171\/revisions\/2148173"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2148172"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2148171"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2148171"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2148171"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
