The
Construction process |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Design and Planning
A sales consultant will aid you in designing the pool of your
dreams while carefully paying attention to specific details
regarding soil conditions, obstacles, elevation, location, and
city requirements. |
|
 |
| |
|
|
Excavation
The day of excavation begins with providing access for the
trackhoe or bobcat to enter and exit the backyard. The yard will
be graded and any trees, shrubs, or concrete in the designated
construction area will be removed and then the pool will be
staked-out and elevations set according to the design plans. |
|
 |
| |
|
|
Steel
Steel bars are placed on the walls, floor, and beam of the pool
and are used to reinforce the structure of the swimming pool and
maintain structural integrity. |
|
 |
| |
|
|
Plumbing
Plumbing is installed behind the steel framework. Proper
plumbing and the appropriate use of valves is essential for
maintaining ample flow of water to and from the pool, spa and
water features. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Gunite
Gunite is pneumatically applied concrete where cement and sand
are mixed and applied through a hose under pressure while at the
same time mixing with water. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Tile and Coping
The Tile and Coping phase help create the overall aesthetics of
the pool using the materials that you have selected. |
|

|
Equipment Installation
At this point of construction we will deliver the pump, filter,
heater and any other equipment purchased at time of contract.
This equipment will be plumbed, pressurized and ready for
inspection. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Electrical
Our licensed electricians will install the wiring that runs the
pool’s lights, pumps, heaters, time clocks, and remote controls.
The electrician will require access to your electrical panel,
usually located in your garage. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Decks
The deck process begins with the installation of
a drainage system. A layer of sand will be
spread on the ground to create a base and the
deck will be formed according to the design
plans. Reinforced steel is installed. If
required, the city will inspect the deck form
and the plumbing lines will be tested to ensure
they hold adequate pressure. The deck will then
be poured and expansion joints placed throughout
to allow for ground movement and minimize cracking. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Plaster
The most common plaster is white marble which is applied through
a hose and hand-trawled to achieve a smooth interior finish. You
may choose to upgrade to one of the many quartz or pebble
finishes available in many colors. After installation the
plaster crew will begin filling the pool with water. Regardless
of the type of plaster installed, it is extremely important to
brush the pool twice a day for two weeks to keep the plaster
dust from settling and scaling which may also result in a
rougher finish. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
Start-up
When your pool is full, our crews will start up the pool
equipment and ensure that everything is operational. They will
also instruct you on the proper use of the equipment and how to
maintain your new swimming pool. |
