They said they're pouring the walls first on Tuesday. For the pool I know they poured the cradle first then did the gravel bags compacting, then poured the walls, so it's similar just sand for this part. The engineering specs called for less rebar of course and 95% minimum compacting, of course I'm sure that's somewhat hard to test for. They've been out there for multiple days hitting it with that flat compacting tool and a Honda Plate compactor. They've been taking their time with it for sure. It's a different sand underneath as well, a finer sand.They backfilled against sandbags instead of pouring the retaining wall first?
I would question how well it's compacted
We had to fill and grade before they could dig the pool and also had to meet the minimum 95% compaction. Here in AZ it was $255 for the test and report. With having to spend so much on the prep, it is well worth getting the engineers out. Definitely worth the peace of mind. .02 from the peanut gallery.
