Building a Triple Jump Run Up

Before building triple jump run up we will need to carry out the necessary groundworks. Groundworks are important in the construction process to ensure a good foundation is created to install on. As with anything the construction of a new Triple-Jump facility in Shropshire starts with the ground works and it is extremely important if you are to have a top quality surface and end product for the foundations and groundwork's to be 100% correct. The process for the perfect sub base for a triple or long jump runway begins with excavating, once this has been completed it is important to compact the ground solid and lay high quality PCC Edges around the perimeter of the area before laying a Geotextile which acts as a weed membrane and offers stability. Upon completion of this, MOT Type 1 stone is added before being compacted and rolled repeatedly to make it as solid and stable as possible. We will also install sand landing pits https://longjumprunway.co.uk/long-triple-jump-landing-sand-pit/shropshire as part of the initial groundworks preparation.

The final part of the ground preparation involves laying open textured porous macadam to give it the most level and even finish possible as well as making it porous free draining and SUDS compliant. In the instance of having a fixed or recess take off board fitted this would be the stage of installation, it would be anchored into ground ready for the Polymeric rubber surface to be laid. There are a wide range of establishments that construct triple jump runways throughout the UK including primary schools, secondary schools, colleges, leisure centres, universities and athletic clubs. We carry out run up groundworks for these nearby establishments if necessary. Each of these having different requirements e.g. a primary school may only need a single lane, a high school might have the need for a double lane facility, colleges and universities are likely to have the demand for three lanes and sport clubs could have the numbers to demand multiple jumping lanes for their surrounding area.
