How swimming pool is made.
Site inspection and Layout Design.
Before the construction begin, there will be a site inspection of where the swimming pool will be built. Our experts will check some important aspects like, water table, type of soil, pool location, pumproom location, etc. Then a layout design will be given along with the quotation for your approval. Then will proceed to excavation.

Excavation
Excavation is the true start of the heavy construction that will be happening. The team will remove the dirt in the proposed pool location area, in most cases using loader equipment. At the same time the excavation is taking place, the team are installing form boards that mimic the layout design, and the interior of your pool is hand shaped and contoured.
Plumbing and Steel Reinforcement
Next is the plumbing and steel team. The pool equipment will be set and plumbing installed in your pool. Prior to completing their task, the plumber will place all plumbing under pressure to assure integrity of the lines. Through out the construction process, the pressure on these plumbing lines will be carefully monitored. The steel crew will be installing the reinforcing steel rods. You will see what appears to be a steel cage that is created for the specific contour of your pool. The steel is securely wired together and is placed in intervals that will provide strength within the structure of your pool. This serve as the backbone of your swimming pool.
Gunite / Shotcrete
The framework is then covered with shotcrete, an exceedingly dense mixture of cement, sand and gravel, compacted onto the frame at high velocity through pneumatic jet-nozzles, to the desired thickness. This method eliminates the air pockets and construction joints which can cause leaks.
Electrical
It is now time for the Electrician to provide the needed connections for the lighting and pool equipment to your electrical service. All electrical work is provided by a Master Electrician, following not only manufactures guidelines but also the National Electrical Electrical Code requirements.
Tile/Coping
Prior to this step we will request you select the tile you would like to have. This tile is placed in the interior of your pool at the waterline. We will also need you to choose the type of material and color of coping for your pool. The coping is installed on the top or "beam" of you structure. We have a wide variety tiles and coping options for you to choose from that will grace your pool with your own unique style. Your selections will be installed at this time of the construction process. If you have a natural rock water fall or decorative water feature, they will be created during this phase as well.
Interior Finish
The application of the interior finish of your pool is the final step of construction. During this process, the crew will apply the type of interior finish that you chose earlier at the design or selection stage. When the crew has completed this application, immediately after exiting your pool, using your garden hose they will start the pool filling with water. The interior finish cures under water so to avoid unwanted imprints or possible damage to the finish, it is very important to allow the pool to fill completely (to the middle of the tile) before entering the pool. Once your pool has filled, we will start up the circulation equipment, and provide in person instruction on the operation of your new pool and pool equipment.
