Site Evaluation

Before excavation begins, a thorough site evaluation is conducted to assess the suitability of the location for the pool. Factors such as soil condition, accessibility, proximity to utilities, and local regulations are taken into consideration. The site is surveyed, and the pool’s desired shape, size, and depth are marked out.

Marking & Layout

Once the site is evaluated, the pool layout is marked on the ground using stakes, strings, or spray paint. This ensures accurate dimensions and provides a visual guide for the excavation process.

Soil Removal

The excavation process involves removing the soil to create the pool’s desired shape and depth. The excavated soil is typically loaded onto trucks or dumped in a designated area for later use or disposal. It’s important to adhere to local regulations regarding soil disposal or reuse.

The excavation crew operates the machinery to dig into the ground, following the marked layout. The depth and shape of the excavation are carefully monitored to ensure it matches the design specifications. The crew may also use hand tools for precision work in areas where machinery cannot reach.

Sloping & Benching

Depending on the pool design and local building codes, the excavation may involve sloping the sides of the hole or creating benches (horizontal ledges) at specific depths. Sloping and benching provide stability to the pool structure and help accommodate features such as steps or varying water depths.

Soil Compaction

After the excavation is complete, the soil may need to be compacted to ensure a stable base for the pool construction. Compaction helps prevent settling or shifting of the ground, which could affect the pool’s integrity over time.

Utilities & Plumbing

Excavation also involves creating trenches or channels for utility lines, such as plumbing and electrical conduits. These lines are laid out and installed in the excavated area, ensuring proper connections for water circulation, filtration, lighting, and other pool equipment.

Site Cleanup

Once the excavation is finished, the site is cleared of excess soil, rocks, and debris. The surrounding area is leveled, and any necessary erosion control measures, such as retaining walls or erosion blankets, may be implemented.
