I was wanting to know has any pool builder had any experience with a gunite pool build next to a rock quarry that does blasting. How did it affect the pool?
I am right beside the quarry. They blast at least twice a week . I have a vinyl pool that I want to turn into a gunite. A total renovation. They removed the old liner , they are no cracks in it. Is the material under liner stronger than gunite? Thank you.Actually yes, within about 3 miles of a rock quarry. They do blasting but not very often, I think the owner said about once a month. It’s not open land in between, a freeway and lots of other housing tracks.
Have not heard about anything from the owner and it’s been a good 10 years since the completion of the project.

That's what I've been wondering.Do you have any structural foundation issues with the house like sinking?
The home is a generational home. The foundation over time has cracked. Wow. You guys are really smart!! No I have not consulted anyone.That's what I've been wondering.
Was the home foundation / slab built differently ? If not, how's it doing to the best of your knowledge? How old is the home ?
Yes, it sometimes rattles the windows and house.You probably need a structural engineer and a geotechnical engineer to design the proper pool shell as well as the ground support.
Can you feel the vibrations from the blasts?
Soil can have many different properties and vibrations add a whole new dimension to the soil stability.
Soil can actually "Liquify" due to strong vibrations and cause structures to sink.

Have you had a geotechnical analysis done showing the soil properties including where bedrock is?
That's 15,840 feet, which is pretty far.Actually yes, within about 3 miles of a rock quarry.
