Pool removal - Demolition and fill in of this in ground swimming pool. We remove the liner, break up the bottom and side walks. We haul in fill and compact the fill in lifts with a trench roller.

Watching that roller compactor smooth fill soil is so satisfying to see

Do you have to let the village know about the demolition, after every is done do you have to handle them a receipt 🧾 or something, what the material you most take away from the pool, I see you used all the concrete as filler, but after that did have filled it up with soil or gravel, thank you nice work!

great video how good does the straw work usually around here they hydroseed the spots?

Thank you, it protects the seed from birds and it also helps germinate the grass.

For finish grading, carry a 10-12-foot 6x6 timber with the excavator. Its super cheap, easy to pick up, put down, and set local grades/contours. You can get really close to finished, especially if you're installing screened topsoil. I would never sleep knowing that pile of concrete was buried in my yard.

Why would the buried concrete bother you?

How much weight can that dump trailer handle? How much weight can has jt dumped

@srmcontracting 6 ай бұрын

It's rated for 10k but it has dumped as much as 14k. Wet dirt is tough to estimate sometimes.

@@srmcontracting I was thinking of getting the 8k axels but the lift system is what worries me. Being in concrete and loading dirt a lot it would suck to be at the dump and have it not lift

How did you figure out exactly how much fill you need?

@srmcontracting 4 күн бұрын

Length X width X depth then divide by 27. This will give you cubic yards.

I take it you are allowed to secure to the outer rub rail on the trailer for securing equipment where you live?. DOT will pull you over for that where I live. It's good practice to have everything behind the rub rail. Hope this helps.

could you build a structure on top of that like an outbuilding cottage, wouldnt it sink where the pool used to be ? especially if you are building a brick structure

@srmcontracting 4 күн бұрын

The ground was compacted in lifts so there shouldn't be anyway settlement. But if they wanted to build something right away then we would have used structural fill to be on the safe side.

There are only 2 happy days with a pool. The first day you jump in and the other day is when you remove it.

What was wrong with the pool?

@srmcontracting 6 ай бұрын

The homeowner is an older gentleman and the pool hadn't been used in years.

You should have extensively perforated the pool floor for drainage, that area will now stay soggy with stagnant unmoving water.

It may not have been apparent in the video but I broke up the vermiculite bottom as we went. Vermiculite crumbles very easy.

We are doing one with ground water. The water table is at 7ft right on Chesapeake bay. We using the concrete deck and fill. We cant stop the water so using alot of stone too and tamping... what else can we do?

@PoolTecCanada Ай бұрын

@@irmadupr - To properly add broken deck concrete to the fill you need to make a layer of HPB, or 3/4 clear, then add the concrete so it lays onto the stone, then add another layer of aggregate and then more deck concrete, this way you don't get large cavities. So long as you've perforated the bottom of the pool extensively just fill as stated above, the water level is the water level, not much you can do about that. You've done your job by creating a solid ground base.
