1. Establish safe access

   Rising water changes conditions during a job. The crew verifies that the site is stable enough for work.

   Runoff carrying silt can leave deposits after the pool drains. Workers remove debris as part of the cleanup.

3. Address contaminated materials

   A written material record helps explain why demolition occurred. The next construction phase waits for dry conditions.

4. Dry and verify
