Pool Engineering
Engineering for swimming pool structures, associated supports and proposed alterations.
Understanding Pool Engineering
Pool work can involve a new structure, changes to an existing pool or questions about damage and adjacent construction. Share the layouts, site information and equipment details so the engineer can establish which disciplines need to be involved.
When to involve an engineer
An engineer may be needed for structural design, unusual site conditions, alterations or an assessment of an existing pool.
Confirm the engineering scope with the professional you engage and any permit requirements with the local building department.
What the engineer may review
Topics that may be relevant to the review: fountain, pool equipment, pool heater and splash pad.
The engineer can review existing conditions, evaluate the proposed changes and prepare the calculations or design details included in the agreed scope.
