THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
The construction process for building an in-ground swimming pool typically involves the following steps:
Design and planning: The first step in building an in-ground pool is to create a design plan that includes the size, shape, and features of the pool, as well as the location and any necessary permits.
Excavation: Once the design has been finalized, the next step is to excavate the area where the pool will be built. This typically involves removing dirt and other materials to create a hole for the pool.
Steel reinforcement: After the excavation is complete, steel reinforcing bars (rebar) are installed to provide structural support for the pool.
Gunite or shotcrete application: Gunite or shotcrete, a type of concrete mixture, is applied to the steel frame to create the walls and floor of the pool.
Plumbing and electrical installation: The plumbing and electrical systems for the pool are installed at this stage, including the circulation and filtration equipment, as well as any lighting or other electrical features.
Finishing: After the concrete has cured, the pool is finished with a plaster or other surface material and any additional features, such as tiles or coping, are installed.
Landscaping: The area around the pool is landscaped to enhance the appearance and functionality of the space.
This is a general outline of the construction process for building an in-ground pool. The specific steps and timeline may vary depending on the size and complexity of the project.
