Geotechnical Survey for swimming pool
Geotechnical Survey for swimming pool
(OP)
I'm designing a swimming pool and doing a some testing holes to locate the best place for the pool. Any advice on the best location to take the samples (is it just below the proposed pool site?) and number of holes.
thanks in advance

If the water table is within the pool depth, you'll have to carefully dewater for construction (don't cause your house to settle from the dewatering for construction!) and keep the groundwater below the pool depth by a couple of feet during the construction and the time it takes for the concrete to gain strength. When the pool interior surfacing is done, you can add water to the pool and allow the groundwater to come back up at similar rates and you shouldn't have any significant differential stress issues.

The pool is rectangle 6m x 3m so will take a sample from each end. greatly appreciated
