Construction Methods

1) SOIL TEST

The first step is probably one of the most important.
Without a soil test you dramatically increase the risk of a base failure.
The soil test will allow either our engineer or your engineer to design the best possible court for your future use.
It will also assist with the design for the drainage from your court or field.

2) ENGINEERS DESIGN

Multisport Concepts caters for all soil types and undertakes an engineers report on all courts we design. You can’t build an investment of this size on guess work, engineered designs gives you peace of mind.

3) EARTHWORKS

Earthworks are always the most unpredictable and most complicated part of the project. If this is not done correctly your court will never be right. It is important to use the right machinery and make sure the compaction levels are adequate to meet the engineers design. Falls are also important with a 0.8 to 1% fall required for most courts.

4) LASER GRADING

On completion of the earthworks we use a laser grader to accurately even off the pad. We use roadbase or crusher dust to fill any low areas which stops water from ponding on the court.

5) BASES

There are 3 main types of sports bases. Choose a base which suits your needs and NOT the base your constructor wants you to have. We will make recommendations but ultimately will build whatever type of court you desire.

ROADBASE BASE

Roadbase has now become the most popular court construction; it is also the best value for money. The advantage of roadbase is that it is adaptable to many different soil classifications. If in rare cases movement does occur it is very simple to fix. The biggest advantage of roadbase is that it is softer to play on with the recoil effect on joints significantly reduced.

CONCRETE SLAB

Concrete slabs for tennis courts have been successfully used for many years. We have different designs for hard courts and grass (over concrete) courts and we will design your court to suit your site classification. Correctly designed and constructed your concrete court will give you many years of service.

ASPHALT PAD

Asphalt courts have the advantage of being softer than concrete as well as a little more economical to build. These courts have been very popular with schools, councils and clubs for many years. The problem with asphalt is that it is more susceptible to damage from trees, water and bat droppings.

6) FENCING

Fencing for courts has developed over the last few years with the standard for fencing now being a 3 metre high top rail, powder coated, PVC, black or green chainmesh. Other fencing extras include drop downs, draw nets, bottom rail, integrated light poles and rebound nets. We construct to both the new Australian Standard and to our own engineered generic standard (more economical).

7) LIGHTING

All our lights are specifically designed to meet Australian and Council standards. Our environmental lights are designed to put all the light on the court evenly to meet Tennis Australia standards. Sports lighting highly specialised to ensure optimal results, our engineers can provide full illumination diagrams.

8) SURFACE

Choose a surface that best suites your personal preference. Our consultants are here to guide you through the pros and cons of each surface.
