Swimming Pool Construction Process
Design Phase
Collaborate with our experts to create a custom plan tailored to your vision and preference. Our team works closely with you to ensure every detail, from size and shape to features and layout, reflects your desires bringing your vision to life
Site Preparation (Excavation)
Using heavy machinery, the excavation follows the approved design, ensuring proper slopes for optimal drainage. After the initial digging is complete, the subgrade preparation creates a stable foundation for the upcoming structure. This involves leveling and compacting the earth at the bottom of the excavation.
Steel Reinforcement
A network of sturdy rebar is strategically placed within the excavation, forming a framework to strengthen the concrete shell.
Next, the plumbing is installed. Pipes for water circulation, filtration, cleaning, and lighting are carefully embedded throughout the designated areas to ensure a smoothly functioning pool.
Formwork & Curing
A special concrete mix is pneumatically sprayed onto the rebar and plumbing network, effectively building the pool’s shell layer by layer. Once this crucial step is complete the freshly applied concrete needs to cure properly by maintaining specific moisture levels and temperature for a designated period.
Finishing
The pool’s interior surface is coated with a smooth and waterproof material for a polished look and lasting durability. Tiles and any custom features are then installed. Stone or concrete coping can be installed around the pool’s perimeter, adding a touch of elegance and providing a comfortable place to rest.
Filling and Testing
The pool is filled testing plumbing and electrical systems to ensure flawless functionality.
Chemical levels are tested and adjusted to achieve perfect balance for safe and refreshing swimming.
Landscaping
Decking, pavers, tiles or other landscaping elements are incorporated to create a safe, cohesive and aesthetically pleasing poolside environment.
Roofing/Cover installation
For added privacy and security, consider installing a fence around your entire pool area or a pool cover. Choose from a variety of materials and styles.
