Wall collapse and boeing rebar

[TheoneAB]

I had my pool dug out last week, but have had several heavy rains this week. This is what happen to the walls and rebar after the clay collapsed on it. What should I expect from the pool builder to do to fix this?

Well that is going to suck... looks like the rebar has been bent out and the soil is directly in contact with the rebar.. Not sure if they are going to cut out the rebar and take out all the dirt and install backing.. then redo the rebar... it can not be shot with gunite like it is...

They might be able to break up the clay chunks and remove it through the rebar. Hand scooping the dirt/mud out.

They have been pulling the dirt out by hand through the rebar. Can the rebar be bent back to shape?

Talking with my PB this week, he had 1 cave in and when we were talking before he said if a job has rebar in it and it collapses, he gets his rebar guys out there to remove it from affected areas and fixed all the collapsed areas and then rebar it again.

Rebar can be bent back. Might be easier to take a few of them out and remove bigger amounts of dirt depending on how much needs to move.
