Pool & spa expertise

It is crucial for an aquatic engineer to get involved early in a project to ensure the effective integration of pool tanks, plant rooms, heated cabins, pumping stations, holding tanks, hydraulic systems and chemical storage.

By doing so, disruptive and abortive design costs can be avoided in the future.

Our business philosophy is based on providing the right product at the right price.

The only way to achieve comprehensive engineering solutions in a highly competitive construction environment is to carefully specify them.

In addition to carefully crafted specifications for the specific needs of each project, Devin also provides a schedule of engineering drawings that are fully interfaced with other design professionals.

As a result of providing this information, the playing field is levelled so that tenders can be submitted on an equal basis to enable competitive bidding.

Getting involved early in projects allows Devin to ensure more efficient design, more efficient engineering, and better building design.

Professional water, features and heat experience systems' design is important in the development of pools and their associated buildings where the integration of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and drainage elements is necessary.

Our team has over 60 years’ experience of the specialist engineering market, so Devin has extensive knowledge of subcontractor selection.

It is crucial that appointed subcontractors have the capability to work to the standards specified. Devin also evaluates tenders and provides detailed tender reports with recommendations.

With the right design, an appropriate subcontractor and an appropriate price, the installation works can commence with the reassurance that risk has been minimised.

Devin carry out regular site inspections to check that the installation works are in accordance with specification, and are properly co-ordinated with other trades.

Comprehensive and effective commissioning is the key to a successful installation.

Bespoke commissioning documents are prepared for each design, which are applied by the subcontractor, then independently verified by Devin.  Important mechanical, hydraulic, chemical and microbiological criteria must be satisfied to enable completion.

Before a pool is handed over from the contractor to the client, the water quality should be verified for its safety, hygiene and attractiveness. Heat experiences and features need to be verified for functionality
