Greyville Polytrack...Is it the same track that was laid 10 or so years ago?

Muhtiman post=892146 userid=767......well it seems that even a major overhaul would not suffice and an entirely new system has been proposed as Bortz bandied  the word "tapeta" more than once in the recent interview so the major players have had a crack at making a proposal for their various solutions.....just hope they plan to thoroughly  separate the turf track with an adequate moisture barrier and sub surface retaining system as the turf suffered a water retention problem at the outset of the initial polytrack installation.....

.....caught half of the latest GC interview about the "new" polytrack and then poof.... loadshedding she strikes....so a bit relieved that Martin Collins is still on the job as the mumbo jumbo that Bortz as going on about had me thinking that they had got shafted....however the kiwi being interviewed is not as scientific in his explanation but get the gist of what they are trying to do.....the local MC man knows his stuff and may play a bigger role in maintaining the system so that it does not land up having to be ripped up again.....{to be continued after I get to see the rest of the show}

.....so not a new track nor a new surface at all......gonna be a bit of a Frankenstein affair......the old surface with all the fines,wax,mud and humus will be turned over and mixed with what appears to be scrap/recycled polymeric fiber and has a shaven fleece like appearance..... then a special "gel"  will be added to bind all of the old, new and some of that turf wash off all together.....oh boy
