Important results from the project
The aim was to test the CC material in a test environment before coming to build material in the form of a test bed at Axevalla. We have wanted to test whether CC-material works just as effectively on the riding grounds that the golbanebunkrar. As for the buffering and draining effect that proves to CC material better than today´s most common in buildings in riding arenas.
Expected long term effects
CC wants to be involved in developing and commercializing the best possible underpinnings for riding tracks by making tests in lab scale which will then be implemented in full scale. The methods chosen for this showed that it is possible.
Approach and implementation
The project has been divided in three steps Tests in order to evaluate the characteristics of several build techniques of horse ground profiles. Several parameters will be evaluated and describes the profiles buffering capability of moisture and how the materials appear during a drop test. Three different ground profiles and top sand were used in the tests. CC showed a good buffering and drainage capacity and for the drop test the ground profiles showed similar result.
