Awapuni track redevelopment project These works are underway at present. The reconstruction work consists of the following main steps (in order of works): Killing off and removing the existing turf cover on the entire track. Earthworks to reshape parts of the surface where required (mainly in the back straight) to give consistent cross falls and level transitions. Decompaction of the soil profile following earthworks. Realigning the inside running rail to give a consistent track width (approx. 26m). Installing a new stormwater drainage system to collect and remove water from surface run-off from the track and from the new lateral / slit drain system to be installed. Installing a new automatic pop-up irrigation system with sprinklers located under the inside and outside rails (both sides of the track). Installing 110mm diameter perforated lateral drains in the entire track at 5m centres. Sand topdressing the whole track with sand to be applied prior to grassing. Planting and establishing the whole track with a pure ryegrass turf sward. Installing slit drains in the entire track at 1.0m centres following part way through the grass establishment. Additional sand top dressing. Replacement of track perimeter fencing. Return to racing following NZTR protocols. All the while that this work is underway the complex has to be kept open as a training venue for the local horse trainers with all the inside training tracks available. Perhaps the biggest impact of this is that daily construction works can’t start until after 9.30am which is when daily track work (horse training) finishes. Dust management is critical on what is a big site (5.0ha) with some very close neighbours in the path of the wind.
