Construction Layout
Driveway/Access: Access to the pool site during and after construction is very important. During construction, a variety of heavy equipment from a large backhoe and ten wheel dump trucks to the gunite rig, bulldozers and small masonry laden dump trucks must have free and mobile access.
Site work: Before any work can be performed, the site must be cleared and benched (leveled off or shored up) On occasion, this area might contain natural impediments, which need to be addressed in order to proceed with the project.
Forming: Prior to the actual excavation of the pool, form boards are laid out according to the design plans. This is the first point the shape of the pool can be seen in actual size. This is also the last opportunity to make major structural design changes should those be desired.
Excavation: Machinery will be brought in to perform the removal or relocation of earth, rocks and possibly underground ledge. Should the excavation team encounter ledge rock during this process, blasting may become a necessity to continue. The only feasible alternative to blasting is relocation of the pool.
