Pools Design and Construction Steps
As said, it is necessary to use different engineering sciences in building a swimming pool, because each of its stages requires its own knowledge and expertise, and it is necessary to observe all its points. In general, the construction of pools can take from 8 to 12 weeks. As mentioned, the construction of each type of pool can have different stages, but in general, the most important stages of their construction are as follows:
pool location and location
The first step to make a swimming pool is its placement and location, which will depend on the type of pool (open or closed). The location of the pool can also determine its costs. The amount of sunlight in the pool, the amount of dust and environmental pollution, the amount of wind and the amount of water evaporation, the presence of telephone and electric wires, the presence of sewage lines, access to facilities, etc. are among the most important points that should be taken into account when locating pools.
Initial Pool Design
One of the most important steps in the construction of swimming pools is its initial design. Based on their efficiency, swimming pools can be designed in different designs such as circle, square, rectangle, etc. Also, in the design, attention should be paid to the depth of the pool, the number of inputs and outputs, the dimensions of the pool, the type of construction materials, etc., because these factors can be effective in determining the final costs of building a pool.
pool excavation
After estimating the costs, location and initial design of the pool, it is time to excavate it. Pool excavation can be done by human forces or mechanical equipment such as mechanical excavators. Excavating the pool correctly and accurately can make other steps easier. Of course, the construction of swimming pools also required an official permit from the regulatory bodies and should be taken into account.
soil flattering
After the excavation stage, the soil of the pool floor should be well leveled and the foundation of the pool should be well done. Soil leveling and substructure is done using a thick layer of sandblasting and its surface is smooth and compacted. The floor of each type of pool can have different conditions. Some of the pools have a flat bottom while some of them have a sloping bottom so that their depth is different in different places. Compliance with the principles of swimming pool plumbing can also be different based on the bottom of the pools and their slope.
pool reinforcement
Among the most important stages of pool construction is its reinforcement, which are usually used in concrete pools. At this stage, the floor and walls of the pool are reinforced with a mesh network after excavation. Reinforcement is used to create the shape and strength of the pool because it is very important that the walls and floor of the pool are flat and aligned.
Pool Plumbing
One of the other stages of swimming pool construction that is very important is plumbing. Plumbing of swimming pools is a very specialized work and it is necessary that people have enough knowledge and skills to do this work. It is very important to choose the best pipe for the pool and do it properly. Parts such as drains, skimmers, 2-way and 3-way valves, filtration filters, and filtration pumps are very important in pool piping.
