The Work Of Swimming Pool Contractors Oklahoma City

By Marci Glover


Swimming is an activity that people partake in for fun or sport. It has been enjoyed for many years. Long ago, people would swim in natural water sources such as rivers, lakes and oceans. With advances in construction knowledge and skill, swimming pools were made. Swimming pool contractors oklahoma city construct the ponds in different sizes and styles. The construction process is done in several steps.

The first step is planning the work to be done. This is done in a meeting involving the contractors and the client. The client expresses the desires he has while the contractors assist him to make a decision. They can show him pictures of pools made in different styles and he can choose the design he prefers. This team can visit the site where the pond is to be made and assess any challenges they might encounter. They also confirm whether the chosen design will blend well with the house.

An analysis of the materials to be used is done. The estimated labour cost is factored in as well as the time it will take to complete the project. Any modifications to be done at the site are also considered. The client is then informed of the total cost of the project and the time it will take. He is made aware of unavoidable damage to existing structures or plants during construction. A picture of the final product is shown to the customer. If the client agrees with the plan, then work, can begin.

Digging is done either manually or using machines. Use of machines is faster than manual digging. Both methods may be used. Manual digging is good for achieving smooth curves and sharp corners. The soil obtained can be used to modify the landscape or plant potted flowers. A metallic mesh is assembled on the walls and floor or the pond. It helps to hold concrete together which increases its strength.

Pipes are laid through the mesh according to the plan. There are pipes for pumping water into the pool and others for draining it. They are secured to the mesh and their open ends are closed to prevent internal blockage with concrete.

Concrete is then prepared and poured. It fills all spaces between the metallic mesh and pipes. It is then allowed to dry up and set properly. This is important as proper setting increases the internal strength of concrete and gives it long life. The concrete will not develop cracks if it set properly.

Once the concrete is set, tiles are cemented to the walls and floor. They give the surfaces a smooth feel as well as better look. The decks are also worked on to blend with the ground around the pond. The water pumping systems are connected to the plumbing systems in the pond.

Modifications to these steps are made depending on the design of the pool. The size also determines the procedures done. The completed pool is handed to the owner with instructions on how to maintain it.
