Prefabricated running track

We designed a solution for the complete lifting process of the precast concrete sections of a grandstand. From production to construction. The solution consists of two different vacuum lifters. One for the production area to demould, lift and turn. And another which is used at the stadium construction area. Why lifting by vacuum instead of hooks? By origin, all handling during both production and construction was done by hooks. The hooks were installed during production and removed after construction. By vacuum lifting no hooks are required, saving manpower, time, and investment. Moreover, no damage comes to the concrete element and stays smooth and untouched.

Like SCHÖPP®Pro-Bounce, SCHÖPP®-Champion is produced from a particularly coarse and robust polyamide yarn with a single filament thickness of 200 dtex. Due to the greater pile height of 6 mm and a lower filament density, the surface is less aggressive than that of the "textile hardcourt". The comfortable SCHÖPP® Champion is therefore primarily aimed at amateur and club players. Its ball bounce is slow, similar to a sand court. Topspin and slice are slightly softened. Thanks to the very robust surface construction, this surface can also be played on with profiled tennis shoes without granules. With the optional granule infill of 400 g/sqm Perfect Glide extruded granules, the SCHÖPP® Champion is reminiscent of a needled nonwoven velour. For several decades, velour needlefelt floor coverings with granulate infill have proven their worth as tennis floor coverings. These surfaces were made of 100 % polypropylene fibre.

Polyurethane is an ideal material for indoor sports floors. The usage of an undercoat of rubber granules or polyurethane foam allows for the increase or decrease of shockabsorbing values. Polyurethane’s mechanical resistance gives versatility to the surface. The upper layers can be easily renovated.

BS Shockpad is a specialized polyethylene foam material, chemically cross-linked for enhanced performance. Through a combination of heat expansion and the addition of chemical inflators and cross-linking agents during extrusion, this foam material achieves advanced chemical and mechanical properties. Compared to physically cross-linked polyethylene foam, the cell structure of BS Shockpad is larger, resulting in a slightly less smooth surface. It is widely used in applications that require sound, heat, humidity insulation, and shock protection.
