Project Outline

Mid-America Pool Renovation was called in to save a “Shot-crete Job Gone Wrong” in Grant City after a previous contractor left the municipal pool in a state of disastrous incompletion. The prior attempt suffered from underestimated materials, rampant settlement cracks due to an overly wet mix, and rough, unfinished walls. We have performed a structural pool rescue and reconstruction to correct these structural failures and provide the city with a smooth, professional-grade facility.

  • Renovation Goals: The mission was to rescue the stalled project, finish unfinished concrete walls and steps, and permanently seal rampant settlement cracks throughout the floor.
  • Services Selected: To overcome the irregularities of multiple sectional pours, the city selected Crack Repair using the InterSteel method and the INTER-GLASS® Surface System.
  • Background: The original reconstruction attempt failed when concrete delivery delays led to poor placement and a final surface so rough it was unusable.

Project Specifications:

  • Location: Grant City, Missouri
  • Scale: 4,880 Total Square Feet
  • Delivery: Complete Pool Renovation involving the rescue and completion of a failed reconstruction, structural crack repair, and cement rendering
  • Equipment or Materials Utilized: InterSteel Crack Repair Method, bonding agents, mechanical surface preparation, and the INTER-GLASS® Reinforced Composite System
  • Area Type: Municipal Swimming Pool
  • Timeline: Completed in 2009

Challenges Solved

  • Rampant Settlement Cracks:  An improper wet mix used by the previous contractor resulted in extensive cracking across the pool floor, which required specialized InterSteel reinforcement.
  • Sectional Pour Bonding:  Because months had passed since the original concrete work, the team had to use advanced bonding agents and mechanical prep to ensure the new concrete gaps were finished correctly.
  • Rough Concrete Finishes:  The pool walls and entry steps were so rough they required a complete cement-render job to create a smooth surface ready for finishing.
  • Subsurface Joint Reflection:  Expansion joints from the original 1960s pool had to be located and opened to prevent them from reflecting cracks through the new shot-crete shell.

Special Considerations

  • Structural Rescue:  Mid-America had to correct improperly extended steel reinforcement that had been left protruding into the decking area.
  • Hopper Bottom Rebuilding:  Structural joints at the bottom of the deep end were exposed and completely rebuilt into the new INTER-GLASS® surface to ensure watertight integrity.
  • Aesthetic Correction:  The original plan for epoxy paint was abandoned in favor of a polymeric finish to better hide the irregularities of the corrected concrete work.
  • Complete Infrastructure Prep:  The city took the opportunity to replace old metal circulation lines with modern PVC and install a new concrete cantilever pour around the perimeter.

From Our Team

“To combat these irregularities and problems with the pool surface, and several sectional pours, the InterSteel Crack Repair Method and INTER-GLASS® Reinforced Composite System were installed.”
