Abstract:
This document is intended for use by owners and pool builders. It does not include specific design requirements. It does include recommendations for aspects of planning, design, and construction that are needed for quality shotcrete placement, with the goal of producing pools that have the long-term durability and serviceability owners should expect. With proper design, material selection, and construction, a shotcreted concrete pool should have a service life of 50 to 100 years or more.
