Construction of a Swimming Pool (in 6 weeks) Stage 2
Instalation of the Plumbing
Mark out the position of the plumbing work (jets:Skimmers:Lighting etc) and in the case of this Swimming Pool the pipe work for the Heated water Jets.
The Guinte Process begins
Gunite Complete!
It is now essentials that the Gunite is given 5-7 days to dry before proceeding .
During the drying time keep the Gunite from drying out too quickly by dampening it with a hose pipe 3 time a day . This is to make sure that rapid drying time does not lead to the Gunite cracking.
Sealing The Gunite with two coats of waterproofing
This is not essential as the Gunite is completely waterproof but we always feel as an extra security for a few hours extra work and at little extra cost this will give you that extra piece of mind. This is after all the only time you have this opportunity.

Construction of a Swimming Pool-Start to in finish in 6 weeks
Marking Out
The first job we do in pool construction is marking out the excavation. For this particular pool we were asked to provide a pool big enough for exercise in a confined space. We opted for a 10 metre length by 4 metres wide so as to give the owner a big enough pool for swimming lengths whilst still providing a good sized terrace for relaxation.
Excavation
We had very limited access for this build, a normal driveway. We excavated 75 cubic metres of material in total for this build. Due to the restricted access much of the waste material was lifted out over the villa for disposal. It is essential to have an experienced excavation company for this type of dig. The result, hole dug and no damage to the property.
Hitting Rock
Quite often on the excavation we hit rock. On this build we had to bring the hydraulic chisel for the final metre so we could achieve the right depth for the pool.
