In this information-rich course, students spend 24 hours of class time over three days carefully examining the key elements of swimming pool construction, focusing on how basic engineering directly determines construction methods and details.  Day ONE defines basic engineering. Day TWO describes key construction phases, including layout, forming, utilities, safety barriers, shotcrete, waterproofing, tile and coping, all with an eye toward exceeding standards and implementing best-known practices. The course concludes on Day THREE with in-depth examinations of concrete decking, plaster science and startup methods.
