Formworking and steel fixing are essential processes involved in the construction of concrete swimming pools.
Formworking
Formworking involves creating the structure that will hold the concrete in place while it sets and hardens. The formwork needs to be strong, sturdy, and watertight to ensure that the concrete does not leak and is shaped to the desired dimensions.
To formwork a swimming pool, the construction team will begin by excavating the area where the pool will be located. Then, they will create a temporary structure made of wood, metal, or other materials that will outline the shape and dimensions of the pool. The formwork will typically include the walls, floor, and any steps or features required in the design.
Once the formwork is in place, the construction team will lay down a layer of reinforcement steel or mesh to provide additional strength and durability to the structure. This is where the second process, steel fixing, comes in.
Steel fixing
Steel fixing is the process of placing and securing steel reinforcement in concrete structures. It involves bending and cutting steel bars and placing them in the correct positions according to the design specifications.
For a swimming pool, the steel reinforcement is typically placed within the formwork structure before the concrete is poured. The steel reinforcement provides additional strength and support to the concrete, helping to prevent cracking and damage over time.
Once the steel reinforcement is in place, the concrete can be poured into the formwork structure. The concrete is left to set and harden, which typically takes several weeks.
After the concrete has hardened, the formwork is removed, and any necessary finishing work is completed. This can include plastering or tiling the surface of the pool and adding any additional features such as pool lights, heating systems, or water features.
