Initial Liner Removal & Wall Preparation

What happens here

Workers begin by manually pulling sections of the old pool liner out of the pool. Once the liner is partially removed, a worker uses a reciprocating saw to cut into the steel and concrete wall of the pool. This cut creates an initial access point and helps to weaken the structure for subsequent demolition by heavy machinery. This is crucial as the entire pool wall is connected, and a strategic cut prevents a 'domino effect' where the whole wall could collapse unpredictably.

Goal: Prepare the pool walls for heavy demolition by removing liner sections and making initial cuts.
