Hesi Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 The statement is quite specific, so it cannot be a typo with someone mixing up m2 with m3 The construction which started yesterday will see the main Cambridge grass trial track dug up and over 10,000 square metres of the Polytrack surface laid.

Freda Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) If that is correct wrt the source of sand, the Awapuni and Riccarton models are going to be a tad pricey. Edited January 7, 2020 by Freda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think barryb was also referring to the material for the underlying drainage layers which may have to be 'imported' in the Waikato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the further calc would be that if the silica surface mix is round .3m deep over the asphalt, 10,000 m3 would equal a 15-16m track. That does add up better.

Hesi Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 Response from Michael Guerin, I've invited him to join, but probably too busy Hi Alan No it’s definitely going to be 16m wide and a race track eventually. They told me 10,000 square metres, which sounds light to me, but that may be what they already have their to lay initially. I think he might have meant to say cubic meters to be honest. I must admit they were a little vague on detail but I’m pretty sure they will cover the whole thing. :) Good luck with the site and Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Well that clears that up. Thanks Hesi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
