Athletics Sandpits

Long Jump Pit
Atheletic sandpits left open are exposed to various health and safety risks. In athletics, security of the sandpit is of paramount importance – Omnicover’s athletics sandpit cover therefore, offers a secure, lockable solution. The covers are made from glass fibre reinforced plastic with very little metal.

Research suggests that long and triple jump landing pits tend to suffer from sand blocking the track’s surface pores which in turn causes irreplaceable long-term surface damage. The best preventative action is to install a sandpit cover that will help contain sand as much as possible. Omnicovers are a lightweight panel solution. We offer a bespoke sandpit cover service for all sandpit shapes and sizes.

Schools, colleges, universities and athletics grounds all require covers for their outdoor long and triple jump sand pits. This market is in far more need of an Omnicover provision that presents more favourable technical elements than the covers that are currently available. Please contact us if you would like to discuss our covers further.

Athletics is not the only field where sandpits are used; Children’s sandpits also need a cover to protect the children from playing with contaminated sand, especially when they might not no what it is they are playing with!
