Hahn Engineering Structural Inspection and Evaluation of Griffin Park Pool (December 27, 2002) Hahn Engineering Opinions & Recommendations:#8 (It is our opinion the pool has far exceeded its functional life. The original concrete has deteriorated to the point of little remaining strength. The gunite layer is not structural and can not adequately support the design loads. It is our opinion the bowl has already failed and removal and/or replacement should be considered.)
