From Fibreglass to Concrete I – Bonalba Golf

Or “From Leaky Nightmare to Watertight Wonder“

The Mission:

Meet the pool that had more comebacks than a retired pop star. For over a decade, this fibreglass veteran had been patched, filled, and repaired more times than we can count. It was losing water faster than a sinking ship, and its looks? Let’s just say “vintage charm” had turned into “structural concern.”

The owner finally waved the white towel and called us in, asking for ideas. The options on the table were simple:

1. Keep playing whack-a-mole with the cracks (spoiler: not a long-term win).
2. Build a brand-new pool fit for the future.

The Plot Twist:

Here’s where things got interesting. The whole Bonalba area—and especially the Arboleda urbanisation—has a little secret: the ground has a mind of its own. Let’s call it “geographically restless.” This shifting soil is basically why pools here sometimes think they’re submarines.

The Big Reveal:

We rolled up our sleeves, cut the old pool into pieces (think puzzle, not surgery), and lifted the curtain. What did we find? A lonely concrete slab sitting on… sand. No reinforcement, no support, just a brittle plate with a canyon-sized crack down the middle and more hollow spaces beneath than a forgotten attic.

No wonder it leaked. The pool wasn’t just cracked—it was basically floating on a sigh.

Our Game Plan:

Out with the old, in with the solid. We demolished that sad slab, gave the soil beneath a proper compaction party (no loose sand allowed), and started building a pool that doesn’t just hold water—it holds its ground.

New reinforcement, proper foundations, and a structure that can handle whatever the ground throws at it. This isn’t just a repair; it’s a reinvention.
