Pool wall/Rebar collapsed after gunite

Excellent resolution. Sounds like the PB and shotcrete sub really stepped up to make everything right. Problems are always bound to happen on any construction job, big or small, but it’s how the people in charge respond to the problems that shows their character and quality.

And you can rest assured that the owner/foreman of the shotcrete company very likely chewed out all the guys on the original shoot for going too fast and not paying attention to the loads they were creating. And, the PB will likely make sure that the shotcrete sub never sends those guys to another one of his jobs again. This is how quality builders work, they eventually do enough builds and work with enough subs to know who does the job right and they’ll request certain foreman’s for their jobs when they really get to know the crews.
Except these days it can be pretty tough to find good subs/employees. My wife's family is in the construction business and while they offer top pay in the area, it's still very difficult to keep good employees.

Nonetheless, glad to hear it all worked out for the OP! Excellent news!
 
Agreed, it sounds and looks like they did it the right way! I'm glad everything worked out for you. Having a pool built is nerve racking enough, without the added headaches. We had some minor cave-ins ourselves, but were lucky that they were post dig/pre-rebar. The flash of shotcrete really should help stabilize everything until they can finish the shoot.
