Commercial Aquatic Design & Engineering

For decades, IPCI has provided engineering, design, and consulting services for commercial swimming pools, aquatic facilities, water recreation projects, and specialized water treatment systems.

Our work has included competitive swimming facilities, therapy pools, recreation centers, educational institutions, military facilities, water playgrounds, and community aquatic projects.

By combining practical field experience with engineering expertise, IPCI helps clients develop reliable, efficient aquatic facilities tailored to their specific needs.

IPCI’s Approach

Every project begins with understanding the unique requirements of the facility, owner, and end users. No two aquatic projects are identical, and successful designs must balance performance, safety, operational efficiency, maintenance requirements, and budget considerations.

IPCI combines practical construction knowledge with engineering expertise to develop solutions that work not only on paper, but in real-world operation. Our experience spans competitive pools, therapy facilities, recreation centers, water playgrounds, and specialized aquatic systems, giving us a broad perspective on the challenges faced by facility owners and operators.

From new construction and major renovations to system upgrades and technical evaluations, our focus remains on delivering designs that are functional, maintainable, and built for long-term success. Throughout the process, we work closely with clients to ensure each project is tailored to its specific goals, requirements, and operational needs.

IPCI Projects

United States Air Force Academy

IPCI led the engineering and renovation design for one of its most technically demanding projects, developing solutions for complex structural constraints while modernizing circulation, filtration, gutter, and chemical control systems. The project required balancing NCAA competition requirements with the challenges of upgrading an existing facility.

Fort Carson Sports Complex

IPCI engineered innovative water treatment and circulation solutions to address unique site conditions, water quality challenges, and space limitations. The project demonstrates IPCI’s ability to integrate filtration, chemical control, and mechanical systems into a highly efficient aquatic facility.

Northern Colorado Therapy Center

IPCI designed a specialized therapeutic aquatic environment focused on accessibility, rehabilitation, and patient care. The project incorporated advanced treatment systems and customized pool features tailored to therapeutic applications and long-term operational performance.

Peralta Community College

IPCI developed an advanced aquatic system that combined innovative filtration, water treatment, and automated control technologies. The project highlights IPCI’s expertise in integrating complex mechanical and operational systems into a high-performance aquatic facility.

Highlands Ranch Recreation District

IPCI engineered a multi-use aquatic facility that successfully combines competitive swimming, recreation, and family-oriented water features within a single integrated design. Particular attention was given to system efficiency, water quality, and long-term operational reliability.

University of Southern Colorado

Working within significant budget and site constraints, IPCI designed a highly efficient aquatic facility that maximized performance while minimizing mechanical space requirements. The project showcases IPCI’s ability to develop practical engineering solutions without compromising functionality.

YMCA

IPCI designed and integrated multiple aquatic environments supported by centralized monitoring and control technologies. Advanced filtration and automation systems allow efficient operation and maintenance while maintaining consistent water quality across all facilities.

Meadows Metropolitan Recreation District

IPCI provided engineering and design services for a community aquatic complex that balances competitive swimming, recreation, and operational efficiency. Innovative mechanical and water treatment solutions reduced facility footprint requirements while enhancing long-term performance and usability.
