groundwork

Groundwork

Allesvoorpadel specialises in groundwork because of our extensive experience in infrastructure. A good padel court starts with a stable and durable foundation. Therefore, we ensure that the ground is always perfectly prepared and tailored to the site's specific conditions. To create a foundation and sports floor to place, the substrate has to be converted. Each location has a different subgrade where different operations have to be carried out. This expertise allows us to deliver a high-quality substructure at any location in the Netherlands.

Preparatory work

Before any actual earthwork is carried out, preparatory work must be carried out to make the site suitable for the construction of padel courts. This can vary from installing driving plates to picking up and removing paving, curb stones or gravel. It may also involve replacing a tennis court for padel courts. In that case, the tennis court must first be demolished and removed. Once everything has been prepared, the groundwork can be started. With this thorough approach, Allesvoorpadel guarantees an efficient and well thought-out construction process from the very first step.

Drainage

When water permeability needs to be improved, we apply drainage to ensure that the padel court remains optimally playable even during heavy rainfall. Trenches will then be dug to make the drainage in. These are sealed with M3C sand, after which the whole is profiled. For a well-functioning drainage system, we also install an end pipe that drains the water to a collection pit. Thanks to this approach, we prevent puddle formation and extend the life of the padel court. Thus, we guarantee optimal playing characteristics, regardless of the weather.

Earthwork for foundations

To build a stable and durable padel court, groundwork for the foundation is essential. This starts with preparatory work such as accurately plotting the site, cutting, excavating and removing excess soil. Once the groundwork is done, the foundation be placed and the sports floor from SuperSub or the ZOAB are poured. Different work is carried out for each type of foundation and subsoil. Allesvoorpadel has the expertise to determine and execute the right foundation construction for each situation. This is how we lay the perfect foundation for a high-quality padel court.

What is expected from the client?

The construction site must be lockable during the project and the client must ensure site accessibility. The client provides the correct information. Without this information, there is a risk of additional work. Electricity, water and sanitary facilities for the needs of the construction project will be provided.

Installation work is weather-dependent and may therefore be delayed in adverse weather conditions.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of surface is suitable for a padel court?

Something is possible on all substrates. The only question is how much work needs to be done on it before a padel court will be realised. The goal is ultimately a permeable sports floor and for the padel court a foundation that will last for decades.

Do you also arrange groundwork and drainage?

Allesvoorpadel organises projects from A to Z. This includes drainage and finishing around the courts.

How deep should be excavated for the foundation?

This depends entirely on the type of foundation. For example, a ring foundation requires more excavation than a concrete slab foundation.
