Our Pool Shell Construction Process
One of the reasons shotcrete is a popular option for homeowners and commercial property owners is that the process of installing or repairing your pool is time and cost effective. Typically shooting a pool takes just one day to complete. While every project varies slightly, most of the steps look like this:
- Excavate the pool site
- Install pool plumbing
- Install a reinforced cage of steel rebar on walls and floor
- Spray shotcrete to encase the rebar
- Shape and finish the shotcrete pool shell
- Cure the concrete
- Apply the plaster
- Complete the last steps
Note: United Shotcrete does not complete every step in the process. We assist you with the concrete phase of the project and can work with the general contractor to shoot the concrete shell according to plan specifications.

What Are the Benefits of Shotcrete for Pool Construction?
When building a new pool, you may be weighing the differences between using wet mix or dry mix. However, there are several benefits to using shotcrete for your pool.
- The concrete arrive already mixed which equates to less time onsite
- The shotcrete process is faster than other construction methods.
- Shotcrete produces higher production rates.
- Shotcrete requires less equipment.
- Easy to add specialized admixtures
- Less rebound and overspray
- High compressive strength
- Better quality control
Remember that shotcrete means that you’re working with a wet concrete mix. For this wet mix process, you begin with thoroughly mixed concrete. Shotcrete uses compressed air to shoot the concrete through a hose. The concrete sprays out at such a high speed that it bonds to itself where it is applied. So, the entire process is easier with fewer construction costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shotcrete
One of the biggest benefits is that shotcrete is that it is highly versatile. You can use it to design and create any pool shape. Best of all, it does not lose resiliency regardless of what pool design you have in mind.
Again, shotcrete is made of standard concrete material and has the same adhering properties as standard concrete. The only difference is that it is pneumatically applied.The high pressure at which shotcrete is applied allows you to shoot over existing concrete and avoid cold joints. This makes shotcrete the perfect option when repairing or renovating existing swimming pools or other structures.
