HOW TO CONSTRUCT POOL USING FERRO CEMENT
Advantages of using ferro-cement as permanent form-works

• Can easily be shaped to any shape and design

• A very strong form- works when the plaster on 3 layers of; wire net, BRC and wire mesh set

• Permanent form-work will add strength to pool structure
• No wastage compared to using timber and plywood as form-works

• Suitable for D.I.Y

• Completed pool structure(reinforced concrete shell) will be in one piece and without any joints, thus stronger and less likely to leak .

STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION:

STAGE NO.1 –Construction of external form- work wall (Follow Sequence)

• Level and grade the ground according to area in the plan

• Pegging and setting out

• Install guide bar at 1 meter(max) interval according to the outer external wall of the pool

• Install 50mm X 50mm BRC and tie it to guide bar (Reinforcement for ferro-cement)

• Install fine steel net from outside (function of steel net is to hold the plaster)

• Install the wire mesh (BRC is sandwiched between the steel net and wire mesh)

• Install spacer link/bar at 500mm interval (Tie it to the BRC)
• Plaster from the wire mesh side

• Then plaster on the steel net side
• Plaster another layer on the wire mesh side
  

• After the plaster set, then it is ready for stage No. 2

STAGE NO 2 – Installation of reinforcement bar

• Install the reinforcement bar (rebar) along the pool wall including the bar that supposed to be connected to the pool floor rebar.
• Use the space bar to install rebar
  

STAGE NO.3 –Construction of internal form-work wall (Follow sequence)

• Install fine steel net to the space bar (function of steel net is to hold the plaster)

• Install 50mm X 50mm BRC and tie it to guide bar (Reinforcement for ferro-cement form-work)

• Install the wire mesh (BRC is sandwiched between the steel net and wire mesh)

• Then plaster from the wire mesh side twice

• Install the rest of the rebar for pool floor

• After the plaster set, then it is ready for concreting.

Completed form-work ready for additional rebar and followed by concreting.

The building concept to suit and blend with landscape design and the overall landscape design was designed by Agrobio Solutions. The whole project including transplanting of instant trees and palms is scheduled to be completed by October this year. This project is an annex to an existing house. We will publish the completed project and you can see how we transform the whole area to a resort type of environment.
