We are talking about the sports flooring designed by Casali Sport and used for the basketball court in Modena’s XXII Aprile park: within the framework of the interventions carried out by the Municipality of Modena with Pinqua funds (the programme for the quality of living financed by the PNRR), those carried out at the XXII Aprile park are part of an urban regeneration project aimed at improving the usability of public spaces and promoting the social integration of young people.

In particular, the intervention on the existing amphitheatre, which included a basketball court, was implemented with respect to the initial project by upgrading the sports surfaces with Casali Sport flooring systems.

First of all, the dimensions of the court were enlarged by increasing the playing surface to 30×18 metres, a regulation size that allows it to be used for sporting events, as well as the practice of different disciplines: volleyball, five-a-side football, and basketball.

The system adopted for the 540-square-metre playing area is Confosport PM with a 10-mm mat, colour 302 light blue.

Confosport PM is a combined sports flooring system, in which the rubber mat is made in situ by pouring the granule binding compound. It is manufactured with a suitable finishing machine and is designed for all those cases in which the subfloor presents surface irregularities and rising damp phenomena. In the realisation of the cast-in-place mat, by modifying the granulometry of the rubber, the compaction and the thickness, it is possible to control the springback of the pavement and determine its performance and safety characteristics.

The final acrylic resin coating forms the wear layer of the playing field and characterizes it for perfect ball bounce, ensuring that the sports surface is resistant to weathering, highly durable, maintenance-free and aesthetically pleasing.

For the perimeter parts, covering approximately 360 square metres, between the sports area and the amphitheatre steps, the 50 mm Athlon PG system was applied, polyurethane, RAL 1012 yellow.
Athlon PG System is a poured-in-place anti-trauma flooring system consisting of a base layer of SBR Multicolor granule compound and Athlon 45 single-component polyurethane binder and a top layer of coloured EPDM granule compound and Athlon 99 single-component polyurethane binder.
