[PSUBS-MAILIST] test pool

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks' Guys,The pool will be modest, to save cost.  The pool will be 10 feet long 6 feet wide and 6 feet deep.  The steel I beam I have is 16 inches tall and 8 inches wide with a 3\8 web and 1\2 inch top and bottom.  I have no idea if it is rated, but I have a good friend that does all my engineering for work stuff.  I can get him to do the math, no problem.  I can easily throw a tellapost under to cut down the span when I lift to much.   I have used this beam many times over the years to support masonry chimneys when we lift houses and being such a tall beam it is amazingly strong.   There is little risk of freezing because the shop will be heated.  I could always drain it when I go away.I may have to rethink the design after Alan provided a much nicer design! ;-)  Hank

Hi All,Renovations on my new house are going so well that I can start renovating my new old shop.  I built it 20 years ago so it needs a bit of help.  I am replacing the wood centre beam with a steel I beam so I can lift and roll subs with a beam trolly.  And the biggy is, the test pool at the end of the steel beam.  I am installing an in floor pool.  I am tired of driving for 1.5 hr to do a 5 minute test then drive home for 1.5 hr.  I happen to be in the concrete cutting business also , so I can cut out the floor easy as pie.  I will make the pool walls with styrofoam blocks filled with concrete, (ICF)  so the sub will bump into soft walls.  So when it is -20C outside I can go for a little sub dive.   Hank
