Modern Oasis

The project included the construction of an inground freeform concrete pool. Caliber Custom Builds came in and transformed an ordinary backyard into an outdoor oasis, where the family can have get togethers and enjoy the summer days.

The Caliber team started the project with the dig for the concrete pool. The pool started at 3′-6″ and transitioned down to 7′ deep. Once the pool was completely excavated, the Caliber team installed elaborate #5 rebar for the shell. The shell was shot using shotcrete. The walls were constructed at 12″ thickness and the floors at 10″. We used the highest engineering methods to maximize the structural portion of the pool.

Once the pool was shot, Caliber began installing the plumbing and pump for a salt water system. Once all plumbing lines were installed and underground passed inspection, the hardscape portion of the project began.

The wall was first built before any of the flooring could be installed. A 12″ wide footer by 12″ deep was poured to support and bear the weight of the wall. The wall was engineered using 8″ CMU Block and veneered using Travertine Split face. Once the wall was built, the wall was waterproofed and a French drain was placed behind the wall. Next up was the concrete floor installation. This included grading the area to accommodate 4″ of ABC Crush and Run Stone and 4″ of concrete. Once all the concrete was installed, we began preparing the pool shell for plaster and water.

Now its time to fire up the pumps and jump into the new pool!
