Custom-built sprayed-concrete shells — gunite pools finished in marbelite. That covers private garden pools, competition and water polo pools, learn-to-swim pools, resort pools and water features. There is no fixed catalogue: each shell is shaped to the site it is built on.
The company is based in Northriding, Johannesburg, and builds across Gauteng — Bryanston, Fourways, Houghton, Midrand, Northcliff, Rivonia, Rosebank, Sandton, Saxonwold and Woodmead among them. Commercial projects are taken on further afield: recent school pools in Cape Town, Newcastle and Ladysmith, and a hotel pool in Mmabatho.
Since 1973. Peter Curtis started the company and was instrumental in bringing marbelite to the South African pool market. His son Russ runs it today — the same family, building pools by hand, for more than fifty years.
Gunite is a dry mix of river sand or crusher sand and cement, sprayed under pressure onto steel reinforcing, with the water added at the nozzle. The shell takes whatever shape the site asks for — freeform or geometric, raised or sunken, on a flat stand or a steep one — and nothing about the design is limited to a moulded range.
Yes — NSPI awards over many years, judged by the industry itself. The record on this site includes Gold and Silver awards for residential gunite pools and for water features, a Silver for a public school pool, and the 2014 Gauteng Pool of the Year.
