Once the pool is dug, we put the steel reinforcing bars in. We always put in a double layer, built up in a mesh pattern that is decided by the architect to give the maximum strength. We also add strength at all corners and around the top of the pool, by the use of extra bars. As we employ a steel fixer with over 20 years experience in the UK on major civil engineering works, you can rest assured that this very important part of the pool building process is being taken care of professionally and with care.

When the first layer of steel is complete, the 'rough plumbing' is started. Flexible pressure pipe is placed to the skimmers, drains and returns, and is fixed to prevent damage during the concreting phase. The skimmers are also sited and fixed at this point, carefully making sure they are absolutely level with each other and at the correct height for the finished water level. The second layer of steel is then placed, sandwiching the pipes between the two layers of steel. At this time the pump house base is also given a layer of steel mesh.

Once all the structural steel is completed, a multi-strand thick copper cable is laced through the steel around the pool and back into the pump house. This provides an earth ground that any metal objects in the pool can be connected to. Indalo Pools will always connect this earth from the pump house to the main house fusebox earth, so each compliments and improves the other. At this time we also fix the light housings to the steel, and lay conduit into the pool for the lights and any other electrical fittings.

The final job is to pressure test the pipework, to make sure all the joints are watertight and that there has been no damage to any piperun during the steelwork phase.
