What to expect after planning

1. We carefully lay out the overall shape before beginning excavation.
   
   
2. Using wooden forms we define the pool's specific shape and details. During this step the pool’s shape, depth and size are built into the framework.
   
   
3. Built-in equipment such as plumbing, surface skimmers, underwater lights and automatic cleaning systems are strategically placed for maximum efficiency. We ensure the best hydraulics go into every pool to reduce your energy costs.
   
   
4. A strong mesh of heavy structural steel bars is installed inside the excavated area, enveloping the entire pool structure for monolithic integrity.
   
   
5. The concrete/gunite is applied, under extremely high pressure, covering the steel structure and forming a well-supported shell. The pool gains its structural integrity and true shape when it is troweled. This step takes true skill, and you can trust Alka’s construction crews for superior workmanship.
   
   
6. The ceramic tile border is installed to aesthetically highlight the shape of your pool.
   
   
7. One of the most popular designs in pool decking is shown here. Beautiful and practical cantilevered decking is available in your choice of finishes, including natural stamped concrete, brick pavers, natural stone and slate. The possibilities are virtually endless.
   
   
8. We install pumps, filters, controls, and other equipment for your pool’s filtration system.
   
   
9. Finally, we spray on the plaster for higher density coverage. Then we smooth to a steel trowel finish, giving you a longer lasting plaster. This is what gives a pool its soft touch. Shown here is the traditional white Marbelite finish, consisting of high quality marble dust and white cement. However we have a variety of custom finishes you can choose from, such as all-tile or 3M Colorquartz.
   
   
10. Your custom-crafted Alka pool is now ready for years of enjoyment.
