Swimming Pool
Swimming pool construction involves design, permits, excavation, foundation prep, steel reinforcement, plumbing/electrical, concrete application, waterproofing, and finishing (plaster, tile, coping), ensuring structural integrity for a durable pool shell, supported by essential equipment like pumps and filters for water circulation. Key details include precise steel placement for strength, proper concrete application (often sprayed), thorough waterproofing, and specific fittings for drains, skimmers, and lighting.
Key Stages of Swimming Construction
1. Planning & Permits:
Secure designs and local permits, ensuring adherence to safety standards.
2. Site Prep & Excavation:
Mark utilities, excavate the hole, and prepare a stable, compacted base (often sand or gravel).
3. Steel Reinforcement:
Install a rebar (steel bar) grid for structural support, crucial for preventing cracks.
4. Plumbing & Electrical:
Integrate pipes for circulation/filtration and wiring for lights/heaters within the steel framework.
5. Shell Construction:
Spray concrete (gunite/shotcrete) over the rebar to form the shell, then trowel it smooth.
6. Waterproofing:
Apply waterproof coatings over the concrete shell before finishing.
7. Finishing:
Apply plaster, tile, or aggregate; install coping (edge trim) and decking.
8. Equipment Installation:
Set up pumps, filters, and cleaning systems in a dedicated equipment pad.
