Choosing the right foundation for your running track is essential for performance, durability, and long-term maintenance. At AG Sports Surfaces, we specialize in two primary types of track foundation materials: asphalt running tracks and post-tension concrete tracks.
Asphalt running tracks are a popular choice for schools, universities, and public facilities due to their cost-effectiveness and reliability. These tracks provide a smooth and stable surface that accommodates various levels of competition and training.
Benefits of Asphalt Tracks:
- Cost-effective installation and maintenance
- Flexible surface that adapts to weather conditions
- Compatible with multiple track surfacing options
- Provides a solid foundation for optimal performance
While asphalt tracks offer excellent longevity, they do require routine maintenance, including crack sealing and resurfacing, to ensure continued performance and safety.
For facilities looking for a high-performance, long-lasting solution, post-tension concrete tracks provide superior durability and structural integrity. These tracks are built using reinforced concrete with a post-tensioning system that reduces cracking and extends the track’s lifespan.
Benefits of Post-Tension Concrete Tracks:
- Minimal maintenance compared to asphalt
- Increased longevity and resistance to environmental wear
- Reduced risk of cracking and structural shifting
- Ideal for elite-level competition and high-traffic facilities
Post-tension concrete tracks are an excellent investment for institutions that want a long-term solution with minimal upkeep, ensuring consistent performance for athletes year after year.
