I want to build a covered kitchen cabana type deal over the existing exposed aggregate patio around our pool.
I have an in house engineer who can easily size everything for me but he knows nothing about typical pool builds.
I will have 7 piers (orange dots) situated to stay out of the sight lines to the back yard and pool area from the living room and game room while trying to minimize free span to keep the beams reasonable in size, longest right now is about 28'
For the ones that land on the patio I am thinking a clean 18" core hole and then carefully auger down a few feet to get enough mass against wind up lift.
I am good with all of them except the one closets to the pool (arrow) This column will unfortunately be carrying the most load of all of them approx 4,000lbs
Is there a typical way the piping is ran for the skimmers and vacuum hook ups (other red arrows) to the equipment which is located at the end of the house (more red arrows) I am trying to find out if there is a way to logic if there are any pipes where this one would land. In the build pics I have seen it looks like all piping is usually under the perimeter concrete work but not necessarily with any real rhyme or reason?
This detail looks like putting 4000 lbs 2 feet from the edge on top of the existing is a bad idea, all back fill material. is it typical for piping to run right behind the bond beam?
Is it typical to form the back side of the bond beam or does it just over pour into the rough edge of the excavation?
How accurate is the rough excavation from the finished wall surface? In other words do they set the face of the pool off the completed excavation for wall thickness or do the walls just get thicker if the hole is over excavated?
Basically what are the chances I am going to be able to either sit this col right on the existing or excavate and NOT hit any piping surprises.
Patching back the exposed is not what I want to do.
Is putting a column this close just an absolute NO GO?
If it works out, after the piers are poured the col bases will get an 18-20" build out around them with stone to cover the core hole.
