- There should be a 1 percent slope towards the field
- The base course is installed in one lift measuring 2-inches after compaction
- The second lift of asphalt should be a commercial type mix totaling 2-inches after compaction
- All asphalt should be installed with the use of laser-guided equipment
- The surface of the asphalt should be flush to the top of the inside concrete curb
- There is a 30 day cure time before you can install the polyurethane track surface
- 8-inches of compacted base rock are installed on top of the subgrade
- Base rock should be installed using laser-guided equipment
- There should be a 1 percent slope towards the field
- The existing subgrade should be STABLE and COMPACTED.
- The subgrade for the field should be mechanically stabilized.
- All dirt work should be done with the assistance of laser-guided equipment.
- The running track subgrade needs to have a 1 percent slope heading towards the field
- 10mm to 13mm polyurethane track system is installed on the top of the asphalt surface
- There should be a 1 percent slope towards the field
- If there is a concrete curb - DO NOT install the polyurethane track surface on top of the curb
- The bottom of the polyurethane track should be above the concrete curb to promote proper drainage
- A 6 x 12 inch concrete curb is poured in place using 2 number 4 rebar
- The concrete curb is the critical piece of construction
- All elevations for the track and field are taken from the curb. If the curb is NOT installed correctly your track and field will not be correct
- The tolerance for the concrete curb construction is 1:1000 in the running direction
- A CCA treated or engineered 2” x 4” is anchored to the inside concrete curb
- The nail board rests 2-inches below the top of the concrete curb
- Surface stone from the field is flush with the top of the nail board
- The synthetic turf carpet is anchored to the top of the nail board
- 4 inches of 1” clean drainable base rock is installed with the help of laser-guided equipment
- The base stone is compacted by a roller without the vibratory action
- The field is crowned at .05% in each direction
10" HDPE Perforated Collector Drain around the Perimeter of the Field.
- 2 inches of 3/8” clean chips rests on top of the base rock
- The base rock is installed with the help of laser-guided equipment
- A light roller is used to compact
- The field is crowned at .05% in each direction
Artificial Turf Surface .05% Crown
- Several flat panel drains are installed on top of the 4oz fabric
- The drains are installed in a herringbone pattern 20-feet off of center
- The flat panel drains dump into the 10-inch HDPE collector drain that runs along the outside of the field.
- The .05% slope allows the water to be gravity fed to the collection drain
- A 4oz non-woven fabric is placed on top of the subgrade
- The entire playing surface receives the fabric cover
- This prevents the dirt from migrating up into the clean rock
