We need an all weather track for a high school. Does anybody have any recommended companies?
The company that made our current track did a terrible job, so chunks started ripping out within 3 years. Every year more pieces rip out and have to be repaired.
Bump
Anybody have any experience here?
Mondo makes some good ones, allegedly

Anyway, that isnt the company that would build the track, it is just the raw material manufacturer.
Grass is soft and low impact, so it may be a better choice.
Call Don Bowden in Los Gatos, believe his company is called Tech-Tone. He was America's first sub-4 minute miler, is a great guy, and has a company that I'm 99% sure does tracks (and tennis courts, etc). If not, he'll steer you right. Or call Willie Harmatz, the long time Los Gatos HS coach (now retired), at his running store in Los Gatos (Athletic Performance) to ask who Los Gatos HS used for their track. Los Gatos HS has a great facility and most all the big CCS meets are held there.

As far as the surface goes, cal track and engineering is one of the only companies operating in this area.

Isn't an architect just an art school drop out with a tilty desk and a big ruler?
Call Devin Conway at Verde Design. They consulted on many of the High School track in the Silicon Valley. They can help you from concept to finish. They have the resources that your project is looking for.

That is exactly who did a terrible job on our install in the first place, then has done multiple terrible repairs since then. It is a huge waste of tax dollars and Im hoping to avoid a repeat.
As I said, call Devin Conway at Verde. They can help oversee the project. Ensure that the quality of install is of a sufficient nature. And if Cal Track isn't making it for you, then theyhave experience working with competent companies that can meet your needs.
