Not sure what they are called, but big pools like in hotels that are on the 3rd 5th 20th etc floor.
What kind of engineering goes into them? Is it really intense, or no big deal per se’?
I was staying at a Marriot a couple weeks ago and this pool was HUGE on the 4th floor. And I was looking down at it from my room wondering what kind of engineering would be required for it to be that high up. It’s alot of water.
Just wondering

Probably not since there will be no direct contact between the water cuz the pool itself is gunnite of something.
While we're oon the subject of pools, how hard is it to remove an in gro und pool that is no longer ised but is now filled with dirt? Sawzall with lots of blades?
They aerate the water so it doesnt weigh as much.
Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, two very light gases. That explains it!
I've worked with this company on a local community pool re-build.

I know the web site is in French but Piscine= pools/ Construction is the same.
Click on Piscine then Residentielle and Commercialle are very close to english so I think you can get the jist of the pictures.
These guys built a pool for the President of "Cirque du Soleil" on Iles D'Orleans in Quebec.
The pool was cantelivered over a hill and was a pool within a pool so no skimmers. The main pool just overflowed into the second pool. Giving the illusion of swimming into thin air.
