Track and field venue construction involves a series of specialized competitions, each with its own set of rules and precise structural requirements. From the long jump springboard and sand pit to the pole vault insertion hole and the 3000m obstacle pool, every element must be built to exact specifications. Most of these structures are made of reinforced concrete, and their positioning and dimensions are measured in millimeters. Any deviation during construction can lead to serious issues, such as the need for complete demolition and reconstruction. For instance, a 3000m obstacle pool was entirely removed due to misalignment with the running track. This highlights the importance of precision from the very beginning of the project, right through to the final concrete pour.
The construction sequence is equally critical. Unlike standard civil engineering projects, track and field structures are small in volume but require high accuracy in location and elevation. Their placement often affects other ongoing works, which can cause delays in the overall project timeline. A case in point is a sports school in Beijing, where the construction of the athletics field took nearly eight months. In contrast, similar projects under the same conditions were completed in just four months, emphasizing the need for careful planning and scheduling.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:
1. Complete the earthwork, sub-base, and base layer of the entire site.
2. Excavate and construct the inner ring drainage ditch, including trenching and cover installation.
3. Lay the asphalt concrete layer.
4. Construct the 3000m obstacle pool, long jump sand pit, takeoff board, shot put circle, discus and hammer throwing areas. Since asphalt requires time to cure and off-gas, it's best to schedule these tasks during this period.
5. Apply the plastic surface coating.
6. Conduct final inspections and obtain acceptance.
Each step must be carefully managed to ensure the highest quality and compliance with competition standards. The attention to detail and strict adherence to timelines make track and field construction both challenging and rewarding.
