Surfacing

Playground surfacing protect's children from falls from playground structures.
Over time these surfaces can deteriorate through environmental factors and wear and tear.
Periodically these surfaces should be assessed to determine if they still meet the critical fall height, for the equipment.
Surface Impact Testing imitates a fall from the highest structure that a child may fall from and assesses the risk for injury.


Equipment
Future Landscapes conducts playground surface impact testing using the Triax 2000.  The Triax 2000 is a approved, playground free-fall surface impact tester.  The Triax 2000 measures Impact Velocity and Head Impact Criteria.

Testing your playground surface and taking action on recommendations ensures that your facility adheres to the New Zealand Standard NZS5828:2004 Playground and  Equipment Surfacing Standards.
