EVERPLAY in situ

EVERPLAY "in situ" is a system of rubber components bonded with polyurethane binders with a history reaching back to the early 1980's. EVERPLAY "in situ" has built a reputation as an exceptional playground surface with functional longevity of more than 15 years and continuing to surpass industry and performance standards and has become the surface of choice for Accessible Surfacing for an entire playground or through loose fill materials to provide the Accessible Route.

EVERPLAY has for more than 30 years provided surfacing solutions for landscape shapes and hills to now become recognized as an integral part of the high traffic and high maintenance surfaces that have become part of the "Natural Playground Movement". EVERPLAY "in situ" has long been used as a water permeable, cleanable and resilient surface for bikes, trikes and open play. They open play application allows facilities with confined space to work with portable toys and loose parts to get the best for their Children.

EVERPLAY "in situ" surfaces have provide resilient and slip resistant surfaces for young and old alike in Universally Designed recreation facilities with slip-resistance and resilience and benefits from the knowledge, experience and technology to provide jogging and training surfaces that change the work required to traverse sections for a total and healthy workout.

EVERPLAY "in situ" technology is exceptional for the covering of swimming pool decks for a unique, feel, performance and rejuvenation of traditional surfaces.

EVERPLAY in situ Maintenance Procedures

EVERPLAY "in situ" is a poured in place recreation and play surface consisting of recycled rubber crumb bound together with a polyurethane binder. The thickness of the EVERPLAY "in situ" can range from 15mm (0.6") to 120mm (4.75") depending upon the application. The unique installation techniques that have been developed by EVERPLAY over the past 10 years allow for variation in resilience as required by the current standards. EVERPLAY"in situ" has been tested according to ASTM F1292 for both Head Injury Criteria (HIC) and Gmax. EVERPLAY "in situ" contains polyurethane binders throughout the entire thickness of the system that have been specifically formulated for this purpose.

Generally the EVERPLAY will be kept clean with wind and rain, however there could be circumstances where mechanical cleaning may be required. Where the materials on the surface are larger than the pores in the EVERPLAY this would initially involve the sweeping of the surface with a broom. Where the particles on the surface are smaller than the pores (i.e. sand, etc.) the particles are to be removed from the EVERPLAY with a vacuum. Annually or as required the EVERPLAY should be vacuumed to remove any small particles that have been carried to the EVERPLAY. A utility vacuum or gas powered landscape vacuum are to be utilized. Failure to perform this maintenance can lead to injury.

Winter conditions can pose a hazard as a result of low temperatures, snow and ice. Should the EVERPLAY surface become covered with ice or snow, this can be removed with a plastic snow shovel. Where the ice or snow has penetrated the EVERPLAY, de-icing pellets can be used to melt the ice. Salt is not recommended, as the salt will damage the surrounding surfaces and/or the play structures. Removal of ice and snow will not improve resilience at low temperatures. During winter and at temperatures below -10 C or when not in a dry condition, the performance of the EVERPLAY will be compromised and it is recommended to discontinue use.
