A Rugged-Land Production

摘要

Back in November, I described the background of a project on a sprawling estate in the hills near Hanover, Pa. - a spectacular setting for an enormous swimming pool, an island spa, a cascading waterfeature and big expanses of rockwork and stone decking. As was mentioned, our first task was to remove a brand-new system of retaining walls that had been built adjacent to the planned location for the swimming pool. We did so because the wall's large footings reached into a space needed to support a cascade that will appear to tumble into the pool. To ensure long-term integrity, we wanted all of the pool-related structures to be an integral unit with no cold joints - shell, foundations, structural decks and all associated construction - which meant the walls just had to go.
