when can I remove the shotcrete forms?

[mlawrence17]

I'm hoping to have my pool shot next week. Half of it is inground and about 4' of it is above ground. How long should I wait before I remove the plywood forms. 1 day, 2 days, longer???? Also is there a certain amount of time I should let the shotcrete cure before I install the waterline tiles?

You can pull the forms - 1-2 days after it is shot - water cure compete form and pool side - I would do a complete 7 day water cure including the beam - then install tile - coping etc
(Remember no rebound should be used in the structure)
