Athletic track construction, solid as a rock
We carry out the tough substructure work that ensures sports facilities can reliably service athletes and students for many years to come. Working closely with facility planners and athletic directors, we deliver durable, low-maintenance subsurfaces that optimize athlete safety, performance, and lifecycle value for institutional sports programs.
Services
Running Track Construction & Rehabilitation
At Sunbelt Sports, we specialize in the construction, rehabilitation, and resurfacing of asphalt-based running tracks, delivering systems engineered for performance, safety, and durability. Our services include subgrade assessment, base correction, asphalt track paving, and preparation for track surfacing installation.
Track geometry is established to maintain precise radii, lane widths, elevations, and cross slopes in accordance with project design and governing standards. Surface tolerances are tightly controlled to support proper surfacing installation and consistent athletic performance.
Our experienced team also evaluates existing tracks to identify structural deficiencies, drainage issues, or surface failures and implements corrective solutions that extend service life while minimizing disruption and future maintenance costs.
Paving Services
Our paving services are designed to meet the structural and performance requirements of athletic facilities. We specialize in asphalt paving for running tracks, field event areas, access drives, and surrounding athletic infrastructure, with strict control over materials, placement, and compaction.
Asphalt is placed in specified lift thicknesses and compacted to target densities using calibrated rollers to achieve a smooth, uniform surface. Grade tolerances, longitudinal and transverse slopes, and surface smoothness are continuously monitored to ensure compliance with design elevations and drainage requirements. The completed pavement provides a stable, impermeable platform capable of supporting track surfacing systems and withstanding repetitive loading, environmental exposure, and seasonal movement.
Base Layer Construction
Base layer construction is critical to the long-term performance of any athletic surface. We design and install engineered base systems that provide load distribution, drainage, and structural stability.
Our work begins with subgrade evaluation and proof rolling to identify unsuitable soils, soft areas, or drainage deficiencies. Base systems typically consist of graded aggregate layers and/or asphalt base courses, installed in controlled lifts and compacted to specified densities. Moisture content, gradation, and thickness are carefully controlled to minimize settlement, reflective cracking, and surface distortion.
Properly constructed base layers form the structural backbone of the facility and are essential to extending surface life and reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
Concrete Work
We perform structural and flatwork concrete services that support the functional and structural elements of athletic facilities. Our scope includes curbs, gutters, equipment pads, footings, drainage structures, and interface elements between tracks, turf systems, and field event areas.
Concrete is formed, reinforced, placed, and finished in accordance with project specifications to achieve required strength, durability, and dimensional accuracy. Joint placement, slope control, and edge alignment are carefully executed to ensure proper drainage and clean transitions between adjacent surfaces. All concrete work is designed to withstand high traffic, maintenance equipment loads, and long-term environmental exposure.
Specialized Sports Paving & Base Systems
Modern football fields, athletics tracks, and multi-sport facilities benefit from the combination of permeable asphalt and artificial turf, ensuring fast drainage and consistent performance in all weather conditions. Achieving optimal results requires precise compaction, correct aggregate sizing, and carefully engineered layering.
At Sunbelt Sports, our specialized paving team constructs high-performance substructures and base systems for football fields, running tracks, and competition-ready sports facilities. Using porous asphalt, stable sub-bases, and geotextile separation, we create durable, level, and well-draining foundations that support intensive use and long-term performance.
With advanced methods and proven expertise, we deliver reliable, low-maintenance base solutions designed to meet the demands of training, competition, and major sporting events.
