Residential Case Study: Pool Removal and Backyard Conversion at 2319 Deer Ridge Drive SE, Calgary
Makki Abatement transformed a residential property in the South Calgary neighborhood of Deer Ridge— converting an aging, unused in-ground swimming pool into a clean, stable, and usable lawn that significantly increased the property's outdoor living space.
The Scope: Engineering-Grade Pool Demolition and Concrete Removal
Residential concrete removal of this scale requires a strategic approach to site drainage and soil stability. Unlike a standard selective demolition project, pool removal involves the complete extraction of heavy underground infrastructure.
- In-Ground Pool Demolition: Systematic breakdown of the reinforced concrete shell and all pool infrastructure.
- Debris Management: Safe removal and disposal of all concrete, liners, and plumbing components.
- Backfilling and Compaction: High-quality fill and professional compaction equipment to prevent future ground settling — the most critical phase of any pool removal.
- Final Grading: Precision grading to match surrounding elevations, ensuring proper water runoff and a surface ready for sod and landscaping.
Neighborhood Safety and Environmental Control
Working in established South Calgary communities like Deer Ridge, Bonavista Downs, or Queensland requires minimizing neighborhood disruption. Makki Abatement applies the same site rigor to residential pool removal as we do to our asbestos removal Calgary projects.
1. Dust Control & Debris Containment
Strict dust suppression measures ensured the demolition process did not impact neighboring homes or local air quality.
2. Access Management
Our team carefully managed equipment access to protect the existing driveway and side-yard structures.
3. Safety Compliance
The project followed all Alberta OH&S standards and local demolition and hazardous materials safety checklists for a liability-free experience.
