Excavators are the primary tool for pool removal in NSW. The process involves breaking up the concrete or fibreglass pool shell, excavating the remaining material, and backfilling the site. BuildHire's 3.5T and 5.5T excavators are well-suited for residential pool removal. The 5.5T provides more bucket force for breaking up reinforced concrete shells. For pool removal, you will typically need: (1) an excavator (3.5T or 5.5T) for breaking up and excavating the pool shell, (2) a tipper truck for removing concrete debris and spoil, and (3) fill material for backfilling the site.
