As we had last mentioned that the swimming pool structure cost varies as we move across different countries, depending on the cost of labor in those particular countries, here we would discuss various construction procedures followed across different countries to keep the construction cost conducive as per the available resources.

1] In most of the southeast Asian countries or the countries where the labor is cheap, preferentially pools are made by traditional cement reinforced concrete, with waterproofing by cementitious or elastomeric quoting, also injection grouting is done in structure to fill any honeycombs or voids. Finishing of the pool is done by tiling which again gives a waterproof cover, and the cost of such structures comes between 200 to 300 USD per SQMT.
At places even glinting or shot-creating is done for waterproofing where cost is not the constraint.

2] In places like Europe, the US, and the Middle East where labor is expensive stainless steel panels are used for pool walls which are bolted at the bottom on the reinforced cement concrete base and at the sides by one panel to another. Rubber sheets are used at the joints between panel to panel, and panel to bottom to provide waterproofing. These panels are factory built and come ready to fix at the site
[picture enclosed]. The final finish of such pools is done by Liners which come in desired shapes, sizes, and designs. These pools are usually quicker to built and have relatively easier maintenance for the structural faults and cost around USD 500/SQMT. This technology is vastly becoming popular in the rest of the world as well due to its post-construction structural maintenance.

So here we have discussed two of the most widely used construction practices prevalent across the world for the construction of swimming pool shells, and the final finish and waterproofing practices deployed in each. In the next article, we will take up the electromechanical and plumbing procedure of these commercial pools.Just to brief it a little, usually, the Mechanical electrical, and plumbing work of all commercial pools remains the same for most pools irrespective of their location.
