ADA Paths, Trails and Golf Cart Paths

  ADA ( Americans with Disabilities Act ) OUR SUCCESS
Our Successes Are Now Going Worldwide As Well As Expanding Throughout The USA

Our first success was done in July of 1997 with the ADA running path at Central Park, New York City. This is approximately a two mile running path that draws an average of 5,000 runners per day. It is arguably the most used trail in the USA. After 10 years of use that adds up to over 17,000,000 runners. This trail is in full compliance with the ADA regulations. We have perfected the design of ADA trails that has now been adopted by most States, and now Italy for their Winter Olympics in 2006.

The ADA running trail / ADA pathways are designed to do the following:

    1. Prevent the wash boarding
    2. Be water-proof yet promote adequate drainage
    3. Be able to withstand numerous freeze thaw cycles
    4. Provide very low cost maintenance
    5. Most of all, be very economical to construct with locally available machinery and labor.

A CD is now available showing costs and will answer your many questions. Please Email us at ADA sales with your address and contact details and we will send this information promptly. You will see how the Enviroseal System can benefit your group, or public requirements.

The photos listed below are a few of our recent accomplishments around the world. The pictures below are installation procedures and final results. This installation was done in July of 1997 for the Central Park ADA Running path. Now in the year 2007, very little maintenance, and over 17,000,000 runners (that is an average of 5,000 users per day) have enjoyed this premier project. Indications are that the life of this trail will be at least (15) fifteen years. Watch our ADA Central Park Running path installation video!

These photos below were taken at the Town of Aosta, in the Italian Alps in August of 2002 The Enviroseal System will be replacing the Granite blocks that had been previously used with a cost savings of about 75%. Our distributor found out as well as the Olympic Committee there, that they could put in these trails much more quickly and far more economically. This alone will help to save a major part of their construction budget. This is an important factor to consider in these days of limited project funding. The photo to the far right is the type of terrain that many of the ski and access trails will be constructed with grades many times in excess of 10%..
In October / November of 2002 Our distributor, Enviroseal of Washington sold and installed a 2 1/2 mile ADA designed running path bordering the New Deschutes Parkway. This running path is used around the State Capital Complex in Olympia. The following photos show the ease of installation and the general topography of the area.
An ADA Designed Trail built in the Summer of 2006 at the Cahaba River, Georgia:
The initial trail was built along the Cahaba River which is national SCENIC RIVER SITE. Much care had to be given to preventing pollution of the river and in keeping the natural scenery. This project has been so successful that the town now has planned to complete this 16 mile project. Watch our Cahaba ADA Riverwalk installation video!
ADA Golf Cart Paths: The use of this technology is being now used far and wide for Landscape Architects and Golf Course Design companies in order to achieve the natural look around their pathways and gardens. Their ability to use natural stone and colored aggregate brings a more durable natural appearance to their designs.
ENVIROSEAL (5) FIVE YEAR WARRANTY:

We have a very simple warranty, plainly explained as follows: Our trail material M10+50, is unconditionally warranted against failure for (5) five years from time of installation. If your trail is constructed as we instruct with the proper materials and it fails DURING THESE FIVE YEARS, we will replace the product at no cost to the owner.

PART  1 - TRAIL / PATH SPECIFICATIONS

1.1  STONE DUST MIX

Crushed Stone Screenings; Trap rock or equal, made of hard, durable, sharp edged rock fragments, free from dirt or other deleterious matter. Percentages are measured by weight of dry stone. The Trap rock or equal conform to the following SAE requirements: 100 % by weight passing a ½” screen 65 to 75 % by weight passing a ¼” Inch screen; less than 2% passing a No 200 sieve (ASTM 5A5) fine aggregate.

Example of screenings passing the below

100% 90 to 100% 30 to 56% 30 to 43% 10 to 20% 3 to 7% 5 to 7%
½" 3/8" #4 #16 #10 #100 #200

Total Depth: The 4” screenings are sufficient for the trail. It is strongly advised that no sub base of larger crushed stone be used. The screenings should be placed in a sand bed with very little depth 1”- and given a tack coat prior to applying the screenings. The depth of the above specified crushed screenings should be (4) four inches and applied with either a tow behind or powered asphalt spreader.

All Trail Surfaces: should be graded and sloped to allow for drainage. After the application of the M10+50 the road surface will have best results if a vibratory compactor of 3 to 5 ton capacity is used to finish TRAIL surface. Save enough M10+50 to make one final pass over the TRAIL surface after compaction. This procedure will insure a SEMI HARD FLEXIBLE surface TRAIL that has the appearance of the natural stone and will last for years to come at a fraction the cost of using asphalt or concrete.

1.2  ENVIROSEAL MIX

1.    Enviroseal M10+50 as manufactured by Enviroseal Corp, 1019-1021 Holbrook Ct., Port St. Lucie, FL. 34952 or approved equal.– 800-775-9474 - 772-335-8225, our web page at www.enviroseal.com

Corp. Sales Department

2.    Shall consist of a synthetic acrylic copolymer enhanced with antibacterial agents, UV Inhibitors and copolymer plasticizers to be diluted with water as per the on site engineers determination in accordance with available soil moisture.

3.    Shall add Enviroseal Co-polymer M10+50 shall be added at a ratio of from 5.0 gallons per cubic yard in concentrate depending on the end result desired a lighter mix should be used for loose surface running trails. For the ADA walking trail the higher dosages apply.. The add mix of water dilution as in #2 above and in accordance with the optimum moisture ratios of the stone mix being used.

4.    Shall be clear, natural in appearance, non-toxic, odorless and environmentally safe.

5.    Shall comply with ASTM and EPA Standards and Regulations.

6.    Shall be ADA and The National Center for Accessibility (NCA) recommended / approved / or in compliance with the standards set fort in their specifications.

1.3  SOURCE QUALITY CONTROL

1.    Section 01400 - Quality Control: Source testing and analysis of aggregate material.

2.    If test indicates materials do not meet specified requirements change material or material Source and re-test.

3.    Provide materials of each type from same source throughout the Work.

PART 2 EXECUTION

2.1  EXAMINATION

1.    Verify trail base conditions under provisions of local specification.

2.    Verify gradients and elevations of base are correct.

3.    Do not prepare or Install material during, prior to, or immediately following rainfall; or when temp is 45 degrees F and falling.

2.2  PREPARATION

1.    If existing an aggregate surface is to remain, grade the existing material so that an even layer of new material is placed over the entire area then mix the two together so that a uniform mix is obtained and conforms to the suggested approved criteria as in the above sieve analysis.
