Prefabricated rubber running tracks have revolutionized the sports facility industry, offering durability, safety, and performance benefits over traditional track surfaces. NovoTrack, a leading brand in this sector, provides top-quality prefabricated rubber tracks designed to meet the needs of modern athletic facilities.

Research and Development

The journey of prefabricated rubber tracks begins with extensive research and development (R&D). At NovoTrack, the R&D phase focuses on several critical aspects:

1. Material Selection: Choosing high-quality recycled rubber and other eco-friendly materials to ensure durability and sustainability.

2. Performance Testing: Conducting rigorous tests to evaluate traction, shock absorption, and weather resistance.

3. Innovative Technologies: Implementing advanced manufacturing techniques to enhance the track's performance and longevity.

4. Safety Standards: Ensuring compliance with international safety and performance standards, such as ISO 9001 and IAAF certifications.

Design and Engineering

Once the R&D phase is complete, the design and engineering team at NovoTrack takes over to create the final product:

1. Custom Design: Developing tailored designs to meet the specific needs of different sports facilities, from schools to professional stadiums.

2. CAD Modeling: Utilizing computer-aided design (CAD) software to create precise models and simulations of the track layout.

3. Engineering Specifications: Defining the technical specifications, including thickness, density, and layering, to ensure optimal performance.

Manufacturing Process

The manufacturing process at NovoTrack is carried out with the highest standards of quality control:

1. Raw Material Processing: Preparing and processing raw materials to create a consistent and high-quality rubber compound.

2. Vulcanization: Using heat and pressure to cure the rubber, enhancing its strength and elasticity.

3. Prefabrication: Producing rubber track sections in a controlled factory environment to ensure uniformity and precision.

4. Quality Assurance: Conducting thorough inspections and tests at each stage of manufacturing to meet stringent quality standards.

Pre-Installation Preparation

Before the actual installation, several preparatory steps are necessary:

1. Site Assessment: Evaluating the installation site to address any specific challenges and requirements.

2. Surface Preparation: Cleaning and leveling the existing surface to ensure a smooth and stable base for the track.

3. Logistics Planning: Coordinating the delivery of prefabricated track sections and ensuring all necessary equipment is available.

Installation Process

1. The foundation should be smooth enough and without sand. Grinding and leveling it. Be sure it does not exceed±3mmwhen measured by 3m straightedges.

2. According to the daily construction plan, put the prefabricated rubber running tracks on the planned position.

Draw the basic line according to the drawing.

3. Stir the adhesive as required which will be used within one hour

4. Take the stirred glue to the required area, and scratch the glue 2-3 meters equably with toothed scrapers.

5. Put the rubber roll materials on the fixed position, and unfold it to be connected with adhesive.

6. Use a special trowel to forcefully flatten the running track surfaces.

Eliminate the air bubbles remaining in the bonding process of the roll and the base.

7. The gap should be fixed by nails.

8. After fixed by nails, pressed by bricks for better connection.

9. Clear the athletics track

10. After finishing the installation, check the whole field, and any gaps filled with adhesive to be smooth. Then clean the whole field, keep it clean

11. Draw the line according to the drawing.

12. Lengthen the straight track line, and then make the running track number.

The installation of NovoTrack prefabricated rubber tracks is a streamlined and efficient process:

1. Section Assembly: Transporting and positioning the prefabricated track sections according to the design layout.

2. Seam Bonding: Using specialized adhesives and techniques to bond the seams between sections, ensuring a seamless surface.

3. Surface Finishing: Applying finishing touches, such as lane markings and surface coatings, to enhance functionality and aesthetics.

4. Quality Inspection: Performing a final inspection to ensure the track meets all performance and safety standards.

Post-Installation Care

After installation, proper maintenance is crucial to preserve the track's quality and performance:

1. Routine Cleaning: Regularly sweeping and washing the track to remove debris and prevent surface damage.

2. Periodic Inspections: Conducting regular inspections to identify and address any signs of wear or damage.

3. Professional Maintenance: Scheduling professional maintenance services to handle more extensive repairs and resurfacing as needed.
