Swimming Pools: Coordination of Contractors & Building Trade Professionals

Swimming Pools: Coordination of Contractors & Building Trade Professionals

1 hr. Online Course

Level: Fundamental

Item#: RV-7687

SME: Calvin Brannon

Whether for recreation, training, or therapy, swimming pools can have a multitude of designs. No matter how large or small, how complex or simple, the design and construction of the swimming pool will entail:

  • Civil design, grading, drainage, parking and utility extension
  • Mechanical designs for heater venting, waste water discharge, and sometimes heating and air conditioning for a natatorium
  • Safe ventilation of mechanical spaces
  • Landscape construction for planters, lighting, decking, walkways, fencing and irrigation
  • Structural designs for supporting foundations including piers
  • Geotechnical concerns for soil stabilization and high water table
  • Architectural designs for restrooms, concessions, offices and support buildings and ADA access to the site

This 1-hour online course considers how the construction of swimming pool and aquatic features involves almost all the other building trades on the architectural/engineering design team; therefore, it is essential the design team members know how to coordinate their own plans lest "holes" develop in the construction documents. A separate course, Coordination of Architects & Pool Design Professionals, has been prepared for coordination with the Architect. This course will be directed to the other design professionals, primarily engineers and landscape architects, on the design team.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure compliance with the Board rules, you must BE ACTIVE in this online course for at least 50 minutes for each credit hour this course is worth (for example, if a course is worth 2 credit hours, you must spend 100 minutes of active participation in the course). After you spend this time in the course and you pass the test, you may download your certificate of completion and will then be reported to the state board.

Our system does time you. You may log in and log out at your convenience and it keeps a running total. You can view this total on the Course Library page where you first entered the course or on the Score History page after you complete the test.

To keep proper time, you must enable pop ups.  Every 13 minutes and 30 seconds, a popup will ask you to keep your time clock running. You will have 90 seconds to click “Continue Session”. If not, your time clock will stop running until you refresh your page or move to a new page. Scrolling down a page or using the scroll button on your mouse does not count as an action.
 
If a popup does not appear, just refresh your page using the refresh button on your browser or by hitting the F5 button. This will work to keep your time as well. Again, scrolling down a page or using the scroll button on your mouse does not count as an action.

You must pass the test AND spend the requisite amount of time in the course to receive your certificate of completion and be reported to the state board. After passing the test, you can return to the course to spend more time.

Since 1969, Terry has worked in public works for cities and counties. Beginning with the City of Irving, Texas and ending eight years later with the City of Tyler, Texas, Terry’s early career was spent working in the engineering departments of these two cities. Since 1977, his work designing water systems, sewer systems, parks and recreation facilities, airports, public buildings, drainage and paving has expanded to more than eighty different local governments.

Terry graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a baccalaureate degree in Civil Engineering in 1973 and received his license to practice engineering in Texas in 1976. Later he would add licenses to practice in Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Georgia. He is also licensed to practice in Nebraska.

Specializing in water conveyance and treatment, Terry’s experience has been broad based ranging from design of water and wastewater treatment plants, to performing stormwater and floodplain studies, to design of competition swimming pools and aquatic centers.

In 1977, Terry and Tom Barber formed Barber-Brannon, Engineers, a partnership which would eventually become The Brannon Corporation. Since 1985, Terry has been the chief executive officer and president of the company.

Terry’s outside interests include singing Southern gospel music in a quartet at his church. He enjoys snow skiing in Colorado and traveling with his wife. He is a deacon, choir member and teacher at Green Acres Baptist Church.
