To enable excavation/soil removal for the pool at least 2 metres minimum access is required. This is suitable for at least a 3.5 tonne excavator and bobcat and tipper truck.
Excavation for a pool is not recommended with a small excavator and/or bobcat (1.5 metres or under).
If a pool is to be located at the rear of the property either vacant blocks at the side or rear or acreage are suitable for crane access.
High voltage overhead lines (HVOHL) on the street or a radius of more than 35 metres from the street to the pool location are not suitable for lifting the pools.
