This 27,664-square-foot community aquatic center in Spanish Fork, Utah features a variety of indoor and outdoor pools, including lap pools, activity pools, a diving pool, and a lazy river. Working with CEM Aquatics on the facility’s construction, FOCUS Consulting provided construction staking services to bring this aquatic center to life. The project’s reliance on prefabricated components made precision and accuracy paramount throughout the construction staking process.

Meeting the Challenge of High Precision

The project’s reliance on prefabricated components made precision and accuracy paramount throughout the construction staking process. FOCUS was responsible for marking bolt patterns and locating the inside face of the pool walls. These critical tasks help to ensure that the prefabricated pieces fit perfectly during installation. The phased nature of the project also added complexity, requiring each phase to align seamlessly with previous work while maintaining strict tolerances. Early on, our team dedicated time to understanding the unique construction process used by CEM. This allowed us to tailor our approach for maximum accuracy and efficiency.

Crew continuity played a vital role in overcoming challenges. By ensuring that at least one experienced crew member returned for each phase, we preserved knowledge of the site conditions and setup procedures. This consistency helped us maintain precise alignment throughout the project’s duration.

Technical Approach and Successful Delivery

To achieve the required accuracy, FOCUS utilized Total Stations. These are known for their reliability and precision—and provide both reflectorless and traditional control. We established control points and locations using durable nails with whiskers that remained stable even on busy job sites. Each crew replicated the previous crew’s setup, making it easier to match new work with existing control points and meet the project’s demanding tolerance requirements.

Through close collaboration, strategic planning, and consistent execution, FOCUS delivered precise layout services. The accuracy of each component supported the successful construction of this complex aquatic facility. Our efforts helped bring the project to completion on schedule and within specifications, meeting the client’s standards and delivering a successful project with an emphasis on quality and accuracy.
