Project Scope
Family pool dig on a sloping Ormeau Hills block — home turf for us. Dug to the pool company's template with our 1.7T excavator.
The Challenge
A sloping block means the pool levels have to be set carefully before the first bucket goes in — stringlines and datum pegs were set to control depth across the fall of the yard.
How We Approached It
- 1Pool position and levels set out from the pool company's template
- 2Stringlines and datum pegs set to control depth across the sloping block
- 31.7T excavator dug the cavity, working the high side down as the dig progressed
- 4Walls trimmed square and the floor taken down to template depth
- 5Levels and dimensions checked before handover to the pool crew
Equipment Used
- 1.7T mini excavator
Outcome
Clean, square cavity dug to template depth and dimensions, ready for the pool crew.
On Site
Key Takeaways
- On sloping blocks, set the levels before the first bucket — not after
- A 1.7T machine handles most family pool digs when the access suits
- Being based in Ormeau Hills means fast starts on local jobs
