Project Overview
- Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, China
- Year: 2021
- Surface Type: 400m Running Track & Artificial Turf
- Running Track System:13mm Permeable EPDM Running Track
- Materials Supplied: EPDM Granules & Artificial Turf
Project Background
The Xi’an Olympic Sports Centre Paralympic Competition Venue is a large-scale athletics facility located in Xi’an, China. Designed for professional sports applications, the project includes a 400m running track system and artificial turf field to provide a stable and high-performance environment for training and competition activities.
Rubflo provided 13mm permeable running track materials, EPDM rubber granules, PU binder and artificial turf solutions for the project. The supplied materials help achieve consistent surface performance, effective drainage and long-term outdoor durability.
Project Requirements
- Meeting Professional Sports Surface Performance Requirements
Professional athletics venues require sports surfaces that provide consistent performance, suitable shock absorption and reliable durability under frequent use. The running track system needs to maintain stable characteristics throughout different training and competition conditions.
- Ensuring Long-Term Outdoor Durability
As an outdoor sports facility, the surface system needs to withstand exposure to sunlight, rainfall and continuous athletic activities while maintaining its structural integrity and appearance over time.
- Integrating Multiple Sports Surface Systems
The project combines a 400m running track with artificial turf areas, requiring suitable material selection and system configuration to ensure each surface meets the functional requirements of its specific application.
Rubflo Sports Surface Solutions
- High-Quality Materials for Outdoor Applications
By combining SBR rubber granules for the elastic base layer, EPDM granules for the wearing surface and PU binder systems, Rubflo provides a complete material solution designed for outdoor sports applications. The multi-layer structure helps achieve reliable shock absorption, surface durability and long-term performance stability under frequent use and changing weather conditions.
- 13mm Permeable EPDM Running Track System
For the Xi’an Olympic Sports Centre Paralympic Competition Venue, the 13mm permeable running track system was selected to meet the requirements of a professional outdoor athletics facility. This system provides a balanced combination of running comfort, impact absorption, drainage performance and long-term durability, making it suitable for high-frequency training and competition environments.
The permeable structure allows rainwater to drain through the surface efficiently, helping maintain stable usability during outdoor conditions. The system combines SBR rubber granules as the elastic base layer, EPDM granules as the wearing surface and PU binder to create a resilient and durable athletic surface.
With a 13mm thickness configuration, the running track provides suitable cushioning and energy response while maintaining reliable surface stability, supporting athletes with a consistent running experience.
Project Results
The completed sports surface system provides the Xi’an Olympic Sports Centre Paralympic Competition Venue with a durable and high-performance solution for professional athletics applications.
By combining 13mm permeable EPDM running track materials, SBR base layer granules, PU binder and artificial turf materials, Rubflo helped deliver a sports environment featuring reliable shock absorption, efficient drainage and long-term outdoor durability.
The project demonstrates Rubflo’s capability in supplying integrated sports surface materials for large-scale athletics facilities and professional sports venues.
