The project concerns the redevelopment of the track and field complex inside the “Campo Scuola” facility, in a sports area that includes the Municipal Stadium and the very recent Palazzetto dello Sport.

The athletics track, with 6 lanes of 400 metres, with grass inside the ring, is designed with two single-centre curves and includes all the platforms for jumps and throws.

Over the years, the surface wear of the existing surface was compounded by subsidence and swelling of the sub-base due to the growth of the roots of the pine trees surrounding the track, so that a radical intervention on both the surface and the sub-base was now necessary to guarantee athletes a homogeneous response, both in terms of traction and energy absorption.

The renovation project involved removing the existing surface and laying a new synthetic, waterproof surface with a seeded topping finish, after laying a bituminous conglomerate wearing surface of at least 3 cm immediately above the existing bituminous surface.

Some of the platforms have been moved to make the facility more efficient and compliant with the Federations’ instructions.
