Somersplash Waterpark — Lazy River (Largest in State)

Somerset, KY

Project Summary

Intense project from second week of April to end of May, working every day average 12 hours (some less, some upward of 15 hours). Just came off hard PCB job and this was even more intense with time crunch for opening day. Project discussed months in advance with architect in charge of building remodel scope. Over 1,100 linear feet and 15-16 feet wide with tons of wall jets, staircases, and two connected pools where big slide attractions fed in. Over 2,200 feet of coping combined. Deleted and patched old unnecessary tile line, ripped out old liner covering it, resurfaced cracked chipping loose floor material, redid long skimmer drain things on wall to be nice and square, addressed huge main drains in floor. Four people finished in that time frame with 200x better result than anything else, proving unmatched lazy river expertise.
