Porous PU Running Track Construction Project

ABOUT THE CASE

Project Overview

Project Name: Indonesia Porous PU Running Track Construction Project
Completion Date: September 2026
Main Product: Porous PU Running Track System
Project Location: Indonesia

This project used a porous polyurethane running track system designed for outdoor athletics and school sports facilities.

The system typically consists of an elastic base made from SBR rubber granules bonded with one-component polyurethane binder, combined with an EPDM spray-coated surface layer.

Its open-pore structure helps provide effective drainage, stable elasticity and practical long-term performance for outdoor running track applications.

About the Porous Running Track System

Porous running tracks are widely used in schools, universities, training facilities and community sports grounds because they combine practical construction cost with good drainage and athletic performance.

Compared with dense track systems, the porous structure allows water to pass through the surface more efficiently, helping reduce standing water after rainfall.

01. Good Weather Resistance

The EPDM surface layer provides strong resistance to outdoor weathering and ultraviolet exposure.

With the appropriate EPDM formulation and installation system, the track can maintain its color and surface performance under long-term outdoor use.

This makes it suitable for tropical and high-UV environments such as Indonesia.

02. Good Wear Resistance

The running surface is designed to withstand repeated athletic use and daily training.

A durable EPDM surface combined with a properly constructed elastic base helps reduce premature surface wear and supports long-term use in schools and sports facilities.

03. Stable Elasticity

The elastic base contains an open porous structure that provides controlled cushioning and rebound.

When the system is properly installed, its elasticity remains relatively stable under different seasonal conditions, helping provide a consistent running experience throughout the year.

04. Shock Absorption for Athlete Comfort

A properly designed porous running track can help reduce part of the impact generated during running.

The elastic rubber base provides cushioning underfoot and helps reduce repeated impact transmitted to the ankle and knee joints during training and athletic use.

The goal is not simply to make the surface softer, but to achieve a balanced combination of:

• Cushioning
• Rebound
• Surface stability
• Traction
• Athlete comfort

05. Permeable and Fast-Draining Surface

One of the key advantages of a porous running track is its water-permeable structure.

Rainwater can pass through the porous track system and be discharged through the underlying drainage structure.

This helps reduce surface water accumulation and shortens the time required before the track can return to normal use after rainfall or cleaning.

Proper drainage performance still depends on the complete project design, including:

Track surface + base permeability + slope + drainage system

Why Porous Tracks Are Popular for School Projects

Porous PU running tracks are particularly suitable for projects that require a balance between sports performance, drainage capability and project cost.

Typical applications include:

Primary and Secondary Schools
Daily physical education and athletics training

Universities
Campus athletics facilities and training fields

Community Sports Centers
Public running and fitness facilities

Training Grounds
General athletics and repeated training use

USAWEGI PROJECT SUPPORT

USAWEGI provides sports facility materials and project support for international customers.

Through our U.S. supply and service window and China-backed manufacturing and project supply system, we support customers from initial specification through material preparation and installation guidance.

Our running track project support can include:

• Track system recommendation
• Material specification
• Quantity calculation
• Construction layer design
• Base condition review
• Installation guidance
• Technical communication
• Project material supply
• Overseas project support

With more than two decades of experience in sports surface materials and project implementation, our goal is to help customers select a system that is not only technically suitable, but also practical to build and maintain.

From Material Supply to Finished Sports Facility

A successful running track project depends on more than the surface material itself.

The final performance is influenced by:

Material Quality

Base Construction

Drainage Design

Installation Workmanship

Project Management

USAWEGI works with customers to evaluate the complete system rather than simply supplying individual materials.

USAWEGI SAYS

We believe sports facilities should combine performance, durability, safety and environmental responsibility.

By continuously improving material systems, manufacturing control and project support, USAWEGI aims to provide reliable sports facility solutions for schools, stadiums, clubs and public sports projects worldwide.
