GENESIS® C325: Built for the Northeast: Freeze-Thaw, Groundwater, and Structural Decisions That Make or Break Pools
Tuesday, January 26, 2027: 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
CEU Credits:1.5
Speaker(s)
Description
Northeast builders face a different set of site realities: freeze-thaw cycles, groundwater, drainage, soil movement, tight lots, and aging infrastructure. This advanced session examines how regional conditions should influence design, engineering, construction sequencing, material selection, and quality control. Attendees will learn how small decisions made early in a project can dramatically reduce long-term failure risk, callbacks, and owner disputes.
Tracks:
Learning Objectives
1. Identify regional site and climate factors that affect pool performance in the Northeast.
2. Explain how drainage, shell design, waterproofing, and material choices interact in freeze-thaw and groundwater conditions.
3. Apply a preconstruction risk review to reduce construction defects and long-term failures.
4. Recognize field warning signs that require additional engineering, documentation, or design adjustment.
