First, a wooden frame in the shape of your new pool will be installed. It deliniates the outer edge of the pool walls. Next, steel reinforcements will be installed. Rebar is used to form the walls, floor, steps and spa prior to installing the shotcrete shell. This steel skeleton provides tensile support to the Gunite pool shell. The plumbing phase will begin directly after the steel installation. It includes installing skimmers, suction & return lines, light niches, spa jets and main drains. Careful hydraulic line calculations and practices will be utilized ensuring the most efficient water circulation for your pool. Then the electricians will bond all needed electrical wiring in waterproof conduits as well as other components to the steel.
As a structural engineer, Antonio Rogliano will be directing and overseeing the entire construction process from the initial design to the finished pool. He is very hands-on and will help with and monitor also the Gunite shell installation process to ensure the highest quality of work is provided by his crew. Gunite is a high strength concrete type that hydrates directly at the nozzle and is applied at a high velocity. It is also known as shotcrete and is the most common application method for pool installations due to its superior strength and convenient application technique while constructing reinforced concrete walls in place.
A Rogliano Pools service technician will then come to start up all of your equipment. All of the pool operations, modes and features will be demonstrated to you. You will also learn the basics of keeping your pool clean and how to perform routine maintenance. And now, you, your family and friends can enjoy your new swimming pool and backyard paradise for years to come.
