B2B Swimming Pool Construction

Commercial Swimming Pool Construction

A major draw for visitors in amusement parks, hotel facilities, fitness centers, or resorts is undoubtedly their commercial swimming pools.

Whether it’s a playful splash pad in a children’s park or a full-length exercise pool in an apartment complex, the allure of lounging and relaxing beside a refreshing water body is universal. Even with a pool just steps away from your backdoor, commercial pool complexes remain popular gathering spots.

The realm of selling and distributing pools in business establishments falls under the umbrella of commercial pool sales. This process markedly differs from the marketing and sales tactics employed for residential pools and requires the expertise of seasoned professionals well-versed in this specialised field.

The Commercial Pool Building Process

Depending on the size of your commercial pool, your requirements, and unique features that enhance the area, a commercial pool construction project may take anywhere between 6-12 weeks or more.

Phase 1: layout and elevations.

After getting the plan approval, the construction begins by setting the elevation and laying out the pool.

Phase 2: excavation.

The topsoil is stripped and experienced operators dig the site.

Phase 3: pool base.

A stone or concrete pool bottom is laid to increase the structural integrity of the pool. The drain plugs go through the base.

Phase 4: plumbing and equipment.

Commercial plumbing systems and all electrical boxes, panels, controls, and conduits are installed in the trench.

Phase 5: pool arrival.

This is where the magic starts to happen! Your new pool will arrive and be carefully lowered into the hole, access permitting, or Craned into place by a company of your choosing.

Phase 6: Part-fill the pool.

Now it is time to part fill your swimming pool. The pool will be filled a 3rd high with water and then you will backfill concrete to the same level. This process is important to ensure equal pressure in and out of the pool.

Phase 7: Tile and coping.

Once the pool shell has been lowered and installed, the depth tile and cast coping is added, which are the standard options for building commercial swimming pools.

Phase 8: Deck and topsoil.

The pool wooden, tiled, poured or stone deck is crafted or installed with a material of your choice and re-spread the topsoil to get it ready for landscaping.

Phase 9: Finish and fill.

Water is filled in the pool to the appropriate water line. We balance the water chemistry, and then your pool is ready for your clients.

 

Advantages of Commercial Pool Building

There are multiple pools and related features in water parks, whereas most gyms and fitness clubs have at least one pool. A beautiful exotic pool can add to the value of the commercial property and help increase their revenue.

Relaxing Setting

Exclusive resorts and luxurious holiday retreats nestled in breathtaking landscapes often showcase the epitome of indulgence – the infinity pool. Designed to seamlessly blend with the surrounding natural beauty, an infinity pool creates a tranquil setting that complements the picturesque environment. Also, community health centers looking to enhance their offerings can opt for the installation of a swim spa. This unique addition allows visitors to experience the therapeutic benefits of warm jets while basking in the rejuvenating glow of holiday sunshine.

Exercise for All

Having a pool in the workplace can serve as a powerful motivator for employees, inspiring them to engage in more training activities. The availability of a refreshing swim session during their breaks or the option to stay after work for a leisurely swim becomes an enticing perk. Employees who take advantage of this facility, will not only adopt healthier habits but also become more physically active. This integration of fitness and relaxation within the workplace contributes to a positive and health-conscious work environment, fostering a culture that values in well-being.

Stunning Visuals

A meticulously maintained commercial pool deck instantly captivates the attention of your clients upon their arrival. In cases where space constraints limit the possibility of a small pool installation, opting for a single outdoor pool feature can be a compelling alternative. The choices are diverse, ranging from the elegance of sheer curtains to the naturalistic charm of a waterfall adorned with boulders. These aesthetically pleasing options not only enhance the visual appeal of the space but also contribute to creating a serene and inviting atmosphere for your patrons to enjoy.

Employee Satisfaction

In the contemporary business landscape, fierce competition exists among companies vying to secure the most talented candidates. To stand out, businesses go the extra mile by offering enticing perks such as paid leave, comprehensive healthcare, and a range of incentives. Incorporating commercial swimming pools into your workplace amenities can be a strategic move to attract potential hires and enhance employee retention. The allure of a refreshing swim can serve as a unique and appealing aspect of your overall benefits package, when it comes to employment.

Exploring the Distinctions Between Commercial and Residential Pools

When it comes to pools, the differences between those designed for commercial spaces and residential homes are notable. A commercial pool, in comparison to its residential counterpart of similar size, typically exhibits the following characteristics:

Increased Headcount

Commercial pools are designed to accommodate a higher number of users simultaneously, considering the varied needs of a diverse clientele, whether it’s a hotel, fitness centre, or public facility.

More Cost per Square Foot

Due to the complexity of commercial pool installations, including robust infrastructure and adherence to stringent safety regulations, the cost per square foot is generally higher than that of residential pools.

Detailed Design Information and Written Specifications

Commercial pool projects require meticulous planning, involving detailed design information and written specifications to ensure compliance with safety standards, functionality, and aesthetic considerations.

Permits and Compliance

Commercial pools necessitate adherence to a range of permits and compliance regulations. Obtaining the necessary approvals ensures that the pool meets local building codes and safety standards.

Circulation System for Higher Bather Load

The circulation system in commercial pools is engineered to handle a significantly higher bather load. This involves robust filtration and water circulation systems to maintain water quality even during peak usage.

Complex Planning for Plumbing

Unlike residential pools, commercial pool projects often entail more complex planning for plumbing to support the increased size and water circulation requirements. This ensures efficient water management and maintenance.

Larger Commercial-Grade Equipment

Commercial pools are equipped with larger, commercial-grade machinery and equipment to handle the demands of high traffic. This includes heavy-duty pumps, filtration systems, and other components built for durability and longevity.

Understanding these distinctions is crucial for businesses or organisations considering the installation of a commercial pool. It highlights the importance of engaging professionals experienced in the unique challenges and requirements associated with commercial pool projects.

Other Things to Consider When Building Commercial Pools

Project Design

Every business has to uphold its image. So when you invest in commercial swimming pools, they must reflect your brand. Hire a commercial pool builder that can work with architects or engineers or has a team to design your pool. If possible, view your options in a 3-D model rendition before the construction begins.

Permits and Inspections

From getting the design and layout approval to the building permits and inspections, there is a lot that goes into commercial pool construction. Choosing a pool builder that provides a comprehensive package will provide peace of mind while you enjoy the best possible pricing from the suppliers and vendors.

Zoning Requirements

Each province and local municipality in the Uk/EU has different regulations for commercial pool construction. Some of them are pool fence barriers, safety covers, alarms, suction entrapment protection, and more. An experienced pool contractor who has vast knowledge about pool safety and state rules can help you comply with the law.
