Apartment, Podium & Rooftop Pools

Apartment, Podium & Rooftop Pools

Pools above ground level, on rooftops, podiums and apartment terraces, demand specialist structural and waterproofing engineering. Burj Al Wasl designs and builds rooftop, podium and apartment pools across Dubai.

Elevated pools we deliver

• Rooftop and podium pools and infinity pools
• Private apartment terrace plunge pools and jacuzzis
• Communal building / development pools
• Lightweight construction options where load is critical
• Full structural waterproofing/tanking and movement joints
• Plant-room and service coordination within the building

Engineered for height

We coordinate with the building’s structural engineer on loads, design robust waterproofing to protect the structure below, and manage access and building approvals. We specialise in Downtown, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, JBR, JLT and Sheikh Zayed Road towers, and serve every development across Dubai and the UAE.

Concrete vs fibreglass pools

How it works

1. Free site visit, design and feasibility
2. Fixed quote, drawings and approvals
3. Excavation, shell, waterproofing and MEP
4. Tiling/finish, filtration and commissioning
5. Handover + optional maintenance (AMC)

Typical timeline: A new pool typically takes 6 to 12 weeks; repairs are scheduled quickly.

How to choose the best swimming pool company in Dubai

• Proven pool construction (structure, waterproofing, MEP)
• Correct filtration, circulation and safety compliance
• A clear fixed quote covering shell to finish
• Reliable ongoing maintenance to protect the investment

Red flags to avoid

• Vague lump-sum quotes with no itemised breakdown (they tend to grow later)
• No portfolio, references or verifiable completed projects
• No clear contract, timeline, payment schedule or aftercare
• Reluctance to handle Dubai authority approvals (Municipality, DEWA, DCD)
• Prices far below the market, usually a sign of cut corners or hidden extras
