RAAC at Grangemouth Sports Complex

RAAC has been found at Grangemouth Sports Complex.

Engineers have discovered the potentially dangerous concrete in the roof area above the pool.

Councillors are to discuss plans to carry out £770,000 worth of repair work.

The pool is remaining open - with the site deemed stable by engineers.

Paul Kettrick, Head of Investment, Assets and Climate at Falkirk Council, said:

"The pool hall at Grangemouth Sports Complex is safe and continues to operate as normal. Specialist independent engineers have regularly inspected the roof and confirmed it remains stable. We are now looking to put a longer-term solution in place so the building can continue operating reliably in the years ahead.

“The planned work to the area beneath the main pool is separate from the RAAC issue. It is routine, preventative maintenance, typical for older swimming pools, and is intended to sustain the pool condition.

“Councillors will consider the capital funding bid as part of the 2026/27 budget set in March. If approved, it would support the continued operation of the complex in the short and medium term, while plans for a major new sport and leisure hub are developed for consideration."
