SteelPool Engineering

  • Our ultra-tough pool shell is 3/16" thick A36 steel plate, with 1/4 floor plates 
    (compared to Shipping Container pools that are are only 1/16" thick).
     

  • The pool chassis is industrial-grade high-tensile cold-drawn steel structural box beams and channel sections.
     

  • We use Quality Control and Assurance at ISO-9000 levels. Each pool has a unique serial number and documentation for history and traceability.

​

  • Post fabrication, everything is Nace 3 level blasted, then coated with a series of anti-corrosion treatments for ultra long life and peace of mind. It is not paint.

​

  • The topcoat is a 2-part epoxy resin compound with a high quality bathtub like finish.
     

  • You can choose any color you like.

​

  • All pool inlets and outlets are bespoke 3d printed for the perfect results. 
     

  • Permanent liftings points and non soil contact surface barriers for easy removal. 

We design, model, analyze, simulate every pool, with every location option. Every option has engineering drawings, FEA, lift load, above ground analysis, in ground, backfill, waterless stress analysis, install simulations, depth tests, and review of piping access.
Then we do this again for your unique property conditions of soil, slope, access and all the what if's.
Then we know every possible scenario before it happens. This is part of our risk mitigation process.
You know you are safe.

We run 1000's of stress loading scenarios

FEA of swimming pool

We squash it, twist it, bend it, load it, shake it, refine it, and do it again, to simulate every possibility you can imagine, to make sure that SteelPools are second to none in quality, strength and lifetime.
These are made for purpose steel structures, not modified containers.

swimming pool stresses

We insert your pool into a 3d model of your property to set the depth to perform full loading simulations, tree roots, moving soil, expanding clay conditions which would destroy typical pools and piping but this is not the case with SteelPools, by design.

We don't make imaginary 3d models, we don't do pretty pictures, we use real world data. 

We're not really pool people with engineers, we're engineers with pools.
 

Now we know everything and so do you

Pool Design Ethos

Design

Engineers with decades of design experience, with multiple CAD tools, FEA packages, structural design tools, 3d software to create the strongest, most rigid dedicated structure possible.


​Hardware

  • With years of experience in building offshore equipment in the offshore oil industry, we make SteelPools from the best industrial strength materials, that are fit for purpose.  
    This is NOT a converted Shipping Container, it is bigger, stronger, lasts longer, and is built for life. 
     

Corrosion

  • A specialized series of surface preparations and treatments, tested by NASA, with the highest ever anti-corrosion rating, is used to protect the entire structure for 30 years under the worst conditions on earth, underwater and in space, and over 50 years on your yard.
     

Function and form

  • Multi-layer 2-part epoxy resin coatings on the inside for that beautiful, robust finish.
     

Operate with ease

  • High-efficiency pumps, oversized piping, long radius low pressure drop fittings, multiple oxidizers, low maintenance filter systems for long life and immaculate water.
     

Life changes

  • Nothing is forever, change happens, so moving SteelPools is inherently built into its design. They are super strong with built-in chassis lifting points. You can move your pool at will, anytime, anyplace, just like life. 

Construction, Quality Control & Assurance

Our fabrication ISO-9000 facilities use high-quality steel direct from the mill specified for high-strength and durability.

  • Use skilled trained certified steel workers comprising of both fitters and welders. 
     

  • Use safe dedicated fit for purpose welding areas.
     

  • Employ rigorous Quality Control procedures / Quality Assurance checks to ensure consistent repeatability and quality.
     

  • Use dedicated Nace 3 spec metal blasting and cleaning areas. 
     

  • Have dedicated paint booth areas.
     

  • Perform water fill and test procedures for 24 hour runtime verification.
     

  • Designed and built here in Texas.

Turn-Key Install Option

  • We survey, make 3d models, drawings, implement and manage permits, excavate and remove soil, provision electrical services, plumbing, alarms, and safety fences.

 

  • We deliver and install your pool, fast, cleanly, and efficiently.
     

  • We hook-up pipe runs, pump placement, backfill, pool fill, full system testing, with customer training,

       and follow-up.
 

  • Your pool has its own web page where everything from the contract, drawings, permits, orders,
    parts, schedules are available on demand. There are build photos so you can monitor progress, instruction manuals, installation photos etc. are all stored. Everything about your pool is here.

       

  • Your web page is accessible to you upon final receipt of your pool so you have a historical timeline of your pool and know everything about its history.

 

  • The process from Order to Final Install takes about 45-60 days*. We are in your property for less than 2 weeks to perform the complete excavation, install and commissioning
       * Pending any permit delays, or inclement weather. 
     

  • You’ll hardly notice us and before you know it, you’ll be swimming and relaxing just like you imagined.
     

  • Want to move and take your pool with you? No problem. We can do this for you or provide drawings and documents of how to do it yourself.
     

  • Nothing is left to chance, everything is planned, scheduled and resolved.
