Project Overview
This project was special for us we carried out Infinity Pool, Water Feature, Outdoor Kitchen, Outdoor Sitting, Pizza Oven, WPC Pool Deck, Landscape, Backyard Façade Enriching. Initial design of the swimming pool was approved by our client. We choosed a land area to accommodate a design already planned. The design was planned with shape, depth, area of the pool, the filtration system, and overall size.
The location selected was ideal for facilitating regular maintenance. We recommended a flat terrain, which can help in large cost reduction for excavation and filling process. A land far away from trees helps to avoid pool filled with leaves. The orientation of the swimming pool is best when constructed facing the sun. This swimming pool was constructed with concrete
Challenges
- Environmental & Site Issues: Unstable soil, large rocks, or high groundwater levels can complicate excavation and increase costs, requiring soil stabilization or dewatering. Inclement weather can cause significant project delays.
- Structural Failures: Mistakes in laying the foundation or improper pouring of concrete can cause the pool to crack, sink, or become damaged, especially in fiberglass installations.
- Waterproofing Failures: A critical error is using inferior materials, failing to properly waterproof the walls and floor junctions, or only applying a single layer of waterproofing, leading to leaks.
- Plumbing & Electrical Hazards: Improperly designed circulation systems or improper electrical wiring can result in inefficient functionality, system malfunctions, and serious safety violations.
- Operational & Regulatory Delays: Long wait times for permits and inspectors can hold up projects. Inexperienced contractors may mismanage timelines, leading to unfinished projects.
Our Key Labours:
- Site Supervisor/Contractor: Oversees structural safety, material sourcing, scheduling, and final commissioning.
- Excavator Operator: Uses heavy machinery (backhoes/bulldozers) to dig according to the design and soil conditions.
- Steel Fixer/Rebar Worker: Installs the structural steel reinforcement framework (rebar) required for reinforced concrete (RCC) pools.
- Plumber: Installs pipes for filtration, circulation, drainage, and heaters.
- Electrician: Installs conduits, wiring for lights, pumps, and automation systems.
- Gunite/Shotcrete Crew: Sprays concrete to create the pool shell.
- Mason/Tile Setter: Applies interior finishes, including plaster, tiles, or pebble, and creates the surrounding deck.
- Waterproofing Specialist: Ensures the pool shell is watertight before finishing
