Pool Engineering Design

A backyard pool is part of living the Australian dream, but that dream can quickly become a nightmare with a poorly designed pool that leaks or even sinks.

We provide structural designs for concrete or blockwork pools to ensure long term performance, whether you choose an in-ground or above-ground pool. This process involves:

  • Reviewing architectural plans and project information
  • Drafting pool layout
  • Engineered pool design
  • Report approved by a registered professional engineer

When is it required?

Residential swimming pool design can form part of the initial project (creating cost efficiency) or as part of an alteration/extension. For a pre-cast concrete pool to be craned into place, a suitable concrete pad can be designed to ‘land’ the pool on. This ensures correct soil founding.

What's included?

A PDF report is compiled and signed by a registered professional engineer. The design details typically include (where applicable):

  • Pool shell thickness
  • Pool shell reinforcement
  • Founding requirements

One engineer for all your needs

Every building project is different, requiring a combination of engineering disciplines. From bottom to top, our engineers can work on soil testing and foundations, all the way up to frame and roof truss design and even inspections. We believe these shouldn’t be thought of as separate, unrelated services.

Whether you’re renovating, extending, building a brand new home, or putting in a pool, you can gain significant benefits from understanding (in advance) the full range of engineering services you might need — and from using the same engineer for all these services.

Key advantages of integrated services

STA is a one-stop engineer with a service range that delivers three key advantages:

  • Save time and money

Pre-planning your engineering needs means you won’t have to keep re-booking an engineer when you need a particular service. It creates efficiencies that cut service times and save you money by pulling together the services you’ll need, at a lower overall price.

  • Enjoy engineering continuity

With all your engineering done by a single organisation, your consultants tap into a deeper knowledge of the site and the project, which leads to high quality outcomes, with more opportunities for innovative solutions.

  • Less risk, more reliability

While STA always takes legal responsibility for its engineering designs, an up-front engineering services package makes it easier to trust our work with a strong mutual commitment, and reduced risk of potential interruption or delay.
