That's a crazy concept. I've never seen one built like this.

It’s relatively new in the states and def new in Texas. I think there’s somebody in North Texas doing them but I’m the first in South Texas. Might even be in a magazine soon lol. Guess I better mow the yard. Being the guinea did give me $3000 drop.

A little more progress. The Belgian waffle sides are up. Next, they lock in the base with more concrete. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-100487-222809-img_0267.jpeg) That is very cool indeed!

Looks like a cool product/process. We are seeing a bunch more of the "assembled" pools being put in these days but they are using steel panels rather than synthetic material. I like the idea...no corrosion or electrical bonding concerns. We currently have three property owners in our jurisdiction ripping their gunite pools out due to ASR...alkali-silica reaction...a.k.a. concrete cancer. All of them covid-era installs. Can be caused by several factors but these instances are apparently due to improper mix ratios...too much silica. Silica absorbs water, swells up and cause cracking/spalling. This particular builder said they could have 20-30 more. I can't believe there are really that many though. And the issue doesn't seem to be isolated. I am seeing chatter about this from other areas of the State as well. At this point it seems like more of an insurance fraud frenzy a-la the mold panic in the late 90s/early 2000s is about to happen.
Good luck with the remainder of your project. Glad you have a quality contractor. Pool builders around here are definitely at the bottom of the barrel...and it isn't close.

Quite a bit has happened. Everything has been backfilled. Electrician has come and gone. They poured a perimeter concrete beam today that locks the pool in place and are installing the alkorplan membrane (liner). I'll pop some pictures this afternoon.
