onstructing A New Pool For You From Start To Finish

You might be wondering by now, what are the steps that we take when constructing a pool? Here are the phases that we go through when building pools from start to finish:

Stage 1: Permit Acquisition

We have to get all the paperworks ready in order to acquire the pool construction permits. To do that, we’ll draft all the details of the plan and submit them to the Council for approval and afterwards, submit your Watertight Completion Insurance to SPASA.

Stage 2: Digging

We’ll then schedule an excavation. Heavy machinery and specialised tools are used to dig the pool.

Stage 3: Securing Steel Bars

An ironworker will then be coming to position and secure the steel bars and mesh to strengthen and aid the concrete. This will involve bending and shaping the steel to specifically engineer your pool design requirements.

This stage will also include making sure that there are plumbing and electrical provisions. Plumbing maintains the circulation and filtration system for clear water and easy maintenance. This is where the main drainer will be installed as well as other water features like jets.

Stage 4: Concrete

Our staff will then place and sculpt pressurized concrete according to your preferred shape. It will be shaped with our specialised equipment. Afterwards, a time should be allotted in allowing the concrete to set.

Stage 5: Plumbing

Since provisions have been made for plumbing, our staff will then run all lines from the pool externally after you’ve chosen where you would like it to be situated.

Stage 6: Landscaping

Here, our team will landscape the surrounding pool area with tiles or other flooring based on your preferred design. This will also include the installation of the coping around the pool edge. Expansion joints are then installed to hold parts together or to allow movement due to seismic activity. If you want to add additional paving outside the pool coping, that is also possible.

Stage 7: Barrier Inspection

You may need to get a fence approval after the plumbing and landscaping by a licensed pool fence inspector. Once your barrier has complied with the applicable barrier standard and passed the inspection, inform us as soon as possible so we can proceed to the next step.

Stage 8: Interior's Start To Finish

After fencing your pool, your pool can now be pebbled. The process involves mixing hydraulic cement and polished stone pebbles. Then, pebble mix is sprayed on the surface and the interior is hand trowelled to a smooth finish. After a specific period of time, the interior is water blasted to reveal the top layer of pebbles. The following day, we will then acid wash the interior and begin filling the pool. It is important to let water fill the pool until it reaches the coping or there will be a ring at the water line.

Stage 9: Start-Up

During this stage, it is expected that your pool is ready to be used and it’s full. But before that, we are going to make sure that it is functioning well and that the water chemistry is balanced. We’ll also make sure that it is clean and the filter and chlorinator have been started up.

Stage 10: Handover

Everything is set and you are now ready to dive in your swimming pool! But the last stage would include setting up a schedule for us to go all over the pool equipment maintenance and care instructions. This is an essential stage that you should never miss to further enjoy your pool for many years to come.
