Heavy duty equipment is brought in to start the excavation of the pool.  80% of the dirt is removed from the yard and 20% of the dirt is left behind for back filling of the pool.  The pools is dug 3 feet larger than the pool so that the workers can install all the braces and plumbing.

After the excavation is done, the 14 gauge galvanized steel walls, triac step and bracing are brought in for erection.

The walls and step are leveled and checked with the transit level.  Once level, the braces are put on and the base of the pool is cemented in (footings).

The inside of the pool is cleaned and the shape of the pool is determined to be right.

The pool is then examined for any discrepancies prior to backfilling.

The 2 track coping is put into place and secured.

The pool is then backfilled and the forms are being shaped into place.

The pool is completely formed and the rebar and deck supports are used.  Gravel is placed around the pool and tapped down, and then the concrete is then laid.  White spacers are used when plain concrete is used and when the deck is stamped.  The following day, the cement is cut with a cement saw.

The inside of the pool is made of grout which is a sand and cement mixture that is trouled.  This grout later becomes hard.      

The liner is placed over the grout and vacuums are placed on the wall to remove the air from behind the liner.  This results in a liner that is tight to the wall.

When the water level gets to the bottom of the walk in step, the vacuums and water supply is turned off so that the liner can be cut out around the step.  The water is turned back on and brought up to the next level.

The returns, skimmer, light etc. are cut and the pool is started.  Handrails, diving board, ladders, solar blanket, and rollers are installed.

You now have a finished product!
