Sky Mansion, Chevron 1

Yes — the Sky Mansion project featured on this page is a real-world example, with a Relax 6 fibreglass pool installed on a 43rd-floor penthouse. Each high-rise project requires structural engineering review of the slab’s load capacity, a coordinated crane plan, and weather-window-dependent lift scheduling. Compass Pools’ engineers work alongside the building’s structural team to confirm what’s feasible early in the design phase.

It depends on the pool model and water volume. A fully laden Relax 6 represents approximately 30 to 35 tonnes of load — well beyond what most rooftops are designed to carry without engineered intervention. Our team designs a load-distribution solution in coordination with the building’s structural engineers to keep point loads within the slab’s rated capacity.

Crane logistics are critical on any rooftop project — doubly so at significant height. The lift is planned around approved weather conditions, with wind loading carefully assessed during the lift window. The Sky Mansion lift was executed in a single operation by a specialist crane operator within a pre-approved weather window, with crane and installation teams in coordinated communication throughout.

At significant height, concrete construction is often not structurally viable — the weight, on-site curing requirements, and ongoing surface lifecycle work against the project. A Compass fibreglass pool arrives as a single engineered unit: lighter to lift, faster to install, and consistent in surface quality. For the Sky Mansion installation, fibreglass was the only viable option.

Acoustic preparation is built into the install sequence. Sound barriers and acoustic matting are installed beneath the pool shell before placement, and the mechanical plant area is fully enclosed to isolate filtration and heating noise from the interior. For Sky Mansion, this preparation was completed before the crane lift to ensure no impact on the penthouse living areas.

Not at this height. Placement is determined by structural load zones, wind-driven water behaviour, and the architectural brief — in that order. Final position on Sky Mansion was agreed between Compass Pools’ engineers, the building’s structural team, and the project architect, so aesthetics, engineering, and operations all aligned.

A Compass ceramic composite surface is easier to keep clean than concrete — the smooth, non-porous finish resists algae and bacteria build-up. It also doesn’t require periodic resurfacing the way concrete does, which simplifies long-term ownership at height. Water chemistry, however, is governed by Australian Standards and the relevant state public-health framework regardless of pool surface, and is managed through the pool’s water-treatment system.

As early as possible — ideally during the design phase, before structural engineering is locked in. High-rise installations benefit from structural engineering input, crane logistics planning, and acoustic preparation all being factored into the build documentation rather than retrofitted later.
