Empire Pools

Gunite (Shotcrete) Pool Process

Planning & Excavation

Every pool starts with a vision. After careful design and permitting, we begin shaping the land to prepare for the gunite shell.

Rebar Framework

A strong foundation is key. Steel rebar is installed to form the pool’s skeleton, creating long-lasting structure and support.

Shotcrete Application

Our skilled team applies high-pressure shotcrete to shape your custom pool — one of the most durable methods in the industry.

Finishing Touches

From tile and coping to  Pebble-Tec finish and decking — we bring your dream pool to life with precision and elegance.

Vinyl Liner Pool Process

Site Prep & Wall Installation

After digging the pool shape, we build a 10” thick rebar reinforced concrete pool wall that forms the pools shape and structure.

Grout Mix Bottom

A sand and portland mix bottom is hand trowel finished for the floor, and wall foam is placed over the concrete pool walls.

Liner Placement

A custom vinyl liner is carefully positioned and vacuum-sealed into place, forming the pool’s waterproof interior.

Fill & Final Features

Once the liner is in place the pool is filled, plated and ready for operation.
