Pool Fill-In & Backfilling Johannesburg
Engineered, layer-by-layer compaction using certified G5/G7 materials to transform your pool into a stable, build-ready garden space.
Professional Backfilling Standards
At **Metropool Demolition**, we believe that the quality of a pool removal is defined by the quality of the fill. In the Johannesburg climate, where soil movement can be a factor in areas like **Sandton** and **Randburg**, using the correct material and compaction methods is essential to prevent ground sinking and drainage issues.
We utilize a meticulous engineered backfilling process. This begins with punching deep drainage holes in the base of the pool shell to prevent the "bath-tub effect," where water collects under the fill. We then import only certified G5 or G7 filling material—never garden soil or debris. This material is spread in 200mm layers, with each layer mechanically compacted to 95% Mod AASHTO density.
Our Backfilling Protocol:
- Drainage Holes: Ensuring zero groundwater accumulation.
- G5/G7 Material: No air pockets, no organic matter, maximum stability.
- Mechanical Rammers: Layered compaction for long-term site integrity.
- Final Leveling: Finished with premium topsoil for immediate lawn growth.
