Key Considerations for Property Owners
01 Always Use a Certified Pool Builder
A common misconception is that because you are on private property or using a prefabricated shell, a professional pool builder isn’t necessary. This couldn't be further from the truth. * Structural Integrity: Certified builders ensure your pool meets Australian Standards for safety and longevity.
- Council Approvals: They handle the complex engineering and council certifications required for any body of water.
- Warranty: Professional installation protects your investment and ensures your pool stays level and leak-free.
02 Managing the Spoil: Where is the Dirt Going?
Most homeowners are surprised by how much earth is removed during a dig. For example, an average 8m x 4m pool can yield approximately 100 cubic metres of spoil.
- Logistics: This volume is far too much to spread around a standard garden.
- The Process: We typically coordinate two large tip trucks working in tandem with an excavator and a bobcat. The timeline for removal depends on site access and the distance to the tipping facility, often taking several days to complete.
Filling In or Removing Your Pool?
If you have an existing pool that is no longer in use, Micro Excavations can help you reclaim your backyard space.
- Pool Removal: We can completely remove the structure and backfill the area, leaving it level and ready for turf or paving.
- Pool Filling: In some cases, we can carefully fill in the shell so that the pool could potentially be recovered at a later date, giving you flexibility for the future.
