Project Outline

Mid-America Pool Renovation spearheaded a structural rescue of the commercial aquatic facility at Forest Lake Homeowners Association, which was suffering from advanced structural decay and outdated mechanical systems. The medium-sized pool featured a hybrid acrylic-vinyl panel wall and concrete floor construction that had become compromised by severe leaks and failing surface membranes. Our team performed an extensive structural rescue to stabilize the walls and modernize the entire infrastructure for the Lincoln community.

Challenges Solved

  • Structural Panel Failure:  One wall panel was so severely damaged that it required a total replacement to restore the pool's structural integrity.
  • Mechanical Obsolescence:  The original black flexible Krylon piping, held together by hose clamps, was leaking and outdated; it was replaced with a rigid, climate-appropriate plumbing system.
  • Failed Surface Solutions:  A previous spray-applied PVC vinyl membrane had blistered and failed, allowing chemically treated water to reach and corrode the reinforcement steel.
  • Coping Displacement:  Cracked and deteriorated coping was physically pulling away from the pool decking, necessitating a complete removal and re-pour.

Special Considerations

  • Structural Integrity:  During the renovation of the panel walls, bracing was initially set to ensure the structure remained secure while panels and coping were replaced.
  • Cold Climate Engineering:  New rigid SCH 80 PVC plumbing was specifically chosen and installed to withstand the extreme Nebraska freeze/thaw cycles.
  • Stainless Steel Reinforcement:  A band of 304 stainless steel was installed at the uppermost interior perimeter and attached to the panels to provide extra support for the new waterline tiling.
  • In Situ Construction:  A new cantilevered concrete bull nose coping was poured in situ and finished with a colored, textured Kool-Deck topping for safety and comfort.
  • Mist Curing:  The team utilized specialized mist curing for both the entry step addition and the new coping pour to ensure optimal concrete strength.

From Our Team

“Structural cracks radiating up through the sprayed applied vinyl membrane allowed chemically treated pool water to come into contact with the reinforcement steel.”
