Calculation for EPS Pool Blocks

The page gives an insight into how to calculate the number for pool blocks needed for construction a swimming pool from it.


STEP 1: Determination of Total Pool Volume (Length x Width x Depth) in cubic meter.   
               Assuming the pool volume to be 8 x 4 x 1.5 m as illustrated in fig. 1.
Fig. 1 A pool of 8 x 4 x 1.5 m to be constructed from pool blocks

STEP 2: Calculation of Wall and Floor Area of the Pool
              Pool Wall Area   =  2 x ((8 x 1.5) + (4 x 1.5))  = 36 sq. m. 
            
STEP 3: Quantity of Pool Blocks Required
              The dimension of the EPS pool block: 1 x 0.25 x 0.25 m [Mega Part No. 7017092].
              The face area of EPS pool block:          1 x 0.25  =  0.25 sq. m.
              Total Pool blocks Required:                  Area of Pool Wall / Face area of Pool
                                                                                 = 160 blocks 
STEP 4: Quantity of Pool End Blocks Required
              The dimension of the EPS pool end block: H = 0.25 m [Mega Part No. 7017093] 
              Numbers of layers of Pool blocks needed:  1.5 / 0.25     =  6 layers
              Total Number of End blocks Needed:          6 x 4 x 2     [2 per each layer in a corner]   
                                                                                  = 48 End blocks 
             
              Thus a swimming pool of size 8 x 4 x 1.5 m requires 160 EPS blocks and 48 End blocks.

If XXL blocks are used instead of standard blocks:
                Dimensions of XXL EPS Pool block:            1.25 x 0.25 x 0.5 m [Mega Part No. 7017165]
                Dimension of the XXL EPS pool end block:  H = 0.5 m               [Mega Part No. 7019384] 
               
               Thus a swimming pool of size 8 x 4 x 1.5 m requires 80 EPS XXL blocks and 24 XXL End blocks.
