helps prevent broken edges typical with unrestrained athletic installations
and provides an affordable maintainable, finished edge.
*Application
Overview
-
AthletEdge is anchored into the asphalt base. Anchoring choice
(see below) will be dependent on age, hardness, thickness and
composition of asphalt base (binder) course.
- Asphalt
base (binder) course is laid on asphalt base following AthletEdge
installation instructions.
-
Athletic Surface is laid on base (binder) course following AthletEdge
installation instructions.
-

providing additional support.
*Intended
as an overview only, please refer to specifier/ manufacturer technical
specifications.
Anchoring
Note - In all cases, it is desirable to use mechanical
vs. manual anchoring. Composition, age, hardness, thickness and
regional asphalt variables will guide anchoring method. The following
are guidelines:
- Anchor
at ends of each section in addition to guidelines indicated below.
-
New, softer or thinner asphalt - 3/8” x 10” spiral
steel spikes (12” on center) typical.
- Older,
harder, thicker asphalt - Hilti DX A41 Fully Automatic Powder
Actuated Tool is desirable where sufficient hold can be obtained.
1-1/2” to 2-1/2” nail (12” on center) with appropriate
charge is recommended. Contact Hilti customer service at 800.879.8000
for details.
AthletEdge Product:
AthletEdge product (height) is determined by the combined depth
of the asphalt and athletic surface.
Example: Combined depth of surfaces is 2-1/2” = 2-1/2”
AT.
Weep holes are located _” from the top of the restraint, facilitating
drainage from the athletic surface. |
