Sports Field Sand

Sports Field Sand (Silica Sand); Beach volleyball court, children's playgrounds, golf courses, carpet pitches, horse racing tracks and manege, garden and landscape etc. used in the fields.

Since Silica Sand has high abrasion, weather resistance and high chemical stability; Thanks to the color of silica sand and its chemical purity (min. 99% SIO2), it provides the production of products with the desired performance in the construction industry.

For sports field sand, silica sands are washed and dried, then sieved and brought to a range of 0.500-1 mm. It is packaged in 50 kg bags and offered for sale. Approximately 30 kg of silica sand is needed per m2 in sports fields. Sieve analysis in sports field sand is important for the rapid discharge of rain water from the field.

"Due to its high water permeability and low clay content, it allows the drainage of surface waters, allowing the use of the fields for a long time without deterioration."

The drainage pits are in herringbone shape, the inner channels are opened with a 1% slope from the middle line to the edges, and the surrounding channels are opened with a 0.5% slope. Inside the opened channels, 1-7mm toothed stream sand of 5 cm thickness is laid and compacted. Q 100 mm perforated drainflex drainage pipes are laid in the channels and connection is made with the surrounding channels. The tops of the pipes are filled up to the level of the canal with #4 gravel (30-40mm).

20 cm high gravel no. 3 (20mm-30mm) is laid on the ground whose channels are closed with an excavator bucket in accordance with the project elevations.

The laid material is compacted transversely and longitudinally with a double tandem roller without vibration. Care should be taken not to deteriorate the curve of the field.
