WE WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE POOL DIG PROCESS
The swimming pool excavation stage has to possibly be one of the best stages of pool concrete pool construction. This is when the construction work first starts. It’s when the reality of being a new pool owner sets in. When excavators and bobcats are a welcomed sight!
Our team arrange all the machinery to dig your pool in line with our agreed plans, drawings, and scope of works. However, Before the excavation of your pool commences, we will meet with you on site to mark out the swimming pool. We do this together with our client to go over the engineering plans and set expectations round what will happen on the day of the dig. This includes reclarifying points of access and the finer detail in removal or spreading of soil. We will also confirm the machines being used as set out in the contract including bobcats, excavators, and trucks.
THE DIG PROCESS
- When excavating for a pool we first remove any top soil to expose the earth beneath.
- From here we will continue digging away using an excavator
- As we progress through the excavation any soil will be removed or spread using the bobcat. – This will be defendant on your agreement with Palm Beach Pools.
- Sometimes when we dig we may hit rock and require a rockbreaker. The rockbreaker is designed to manipulate large rocks and make them smaller so they are more manageable and easier to remove
- One the excavation is complete will pour a small gravel bed and surround the pool area with safety fencing to ensure no one falls in.
- From here you can expect our team will complete a site clean up to wrap the day up ready for steel fixing and concrete.
