For a PDF version of this week’s update including photos download the Executive Summary.
Amazing progress has continued since our last update just two short weeks ago. Excavation for the new dive well and new lap pool is now complete. With excavation wrapped up at the dive well, crews have installed both the stone subbase and under pool piping – rebar for the slab is nearly complete. We’re getting excited for the project’s first pool vessel pour at the dive well slab! Concrete wall forming will soon follow and the vessel will start to take shape. Stone subbase and under pool piping are well underway at the new lap pool, and a similar process used at dive well for
reinforcing will follow.
Excavation for the new pool house began this week and footings and foundations will start early next week. This will really start to show the footprint of the new pool house.

Did You Know?
Grounding is used at pools to ensure that all potential electrical current is dissipated to the ground and away from the pool equipment and people. Grounding is completed by taking bonded pool components, like the rebar shown in the photos on the downloadable PDF, and connecting them to the earth. Special safety measures are considered when building pools, and grounding is one of the unique ones that not everyone gets to see!
