Block Installed

Block Installed”

This article describes how a construction professional can not install and put into a pool for very long in the soil around $ 10 000 in a database DIY. It is based on a system used in France in 40 pools which in turn is based on the theory described in Part 1 of this article.

The walls are made of polystyrene blocks like giant lego. The blocks are filled with high-strength concrete is reinforced with vertical steel bars and horizontal.

The bottom of the pool is provided by the basement at the location of the pool and a thin layer of concrete and mortar to level up – Ready for the PVC. The high walls of the pool are then supported by slabs of concrete that extend into the undisturbed soil in Excavation outside the pool. The construction sequence is as follows: –

• The excavation of the pool is an inground meter long and 1 foot wider than the size of the pool
• At the foot of 500 mm in width is the perimeter of the pool with vertical reinforcing rods extending up height of the wall of the pool
• The polystyrene formwork block walls of the pool rises through the wall units PVC pool installed and the walls are filled with concrete (or similar may be quadlock United States)
• The bottom of the pool is covered with sheet leveling cement and 50 mm of concrete sand
• The buried pipe is installed on the outside and filled the vacuum outside the walls of the pool
• Fixed line is blocking the top of the pool wall
• The asphalt layer and the surface was installed and the pool filled with water.

The weight of the pool water is transferred directly into the soil which forms the bottom of the pool without using a structural member to reduce any collapse of several elements that can occur in soft bottom of the pool. The pavement grading and finishing concrete which forms the bottom of the pool may have the effect of hardening the surface of the earth, but is not designed for. Therefore, if during the construction of the pool, it there is any doubt about any area of the bottom of the pool, all the soft spots should be removed and replaced with concrete. The system will provide walls vertical side of the pool walls and concrete hard to bridge the gap between the padded walls of the pool and on the side of the excavation subsidence of the pool will be in the pool and the upper abutment wall so that the burden of maintaining large ice developed in most winters in the hemisphere north.

The structure of PVC waterproof coating is maintained and if it is built properly the pool will be a major asset for the property where it is built at least 40 years the liner must be replaced within 12 to 15 years – depending, of course, how the owner is responsible for water temperature and water chemistry. If the superior quality through the wall units are used, such as skimmers, lights, etc. as required by a large manufacturer, it should be possible to return them for meetings, etc. when the new pavement in time to be renewed.
