ACO Sport® Precast Elastic Curbing Systems

  • Bordering products that provide a cellular EPDM rubber top to provide a soft, safe edge to reduce injury
  • Polymer concrete curbing with TPE rubber cap
  • Straight and corner sections
  • Ideal for containing loose surfaces such as cinder, clay or sand

Description

Transitions between athletic surfaces need to do more than define edges. They also play a key role in water management. ACO Sport® precast elastic curbing systems by Sportsfield Specialties are designed to create a durable, flexible boundary that helps guide surface water toward designated drainage points. Installed along the edges of synthetic turf, track systems, and surrounding hardscapes, these curbs help control runoff and prevent water from crossing into adjacent areas where it can cause erosion or pooling.

Built with a resilient, athlete-friendly profile, elastic curbing provides a safer edge condition compared to rigid materials while maintaining structural integrity in high-use environments. The precast design ensures consistent installation and long-term performance, even in areas exposed to frequent traffic and changing weather conditions.

In addition to defining surface transitions, these curbing systems play an important role in directing water into the broader drainage infrastructure. By channeling runoff efficiently, they help maintain cleaner field edges, reduce maintenance, and support overall field performance.

For facilities that require higher-capacity surface water collection, elastic curbing systems can be used alongside precast trench drainage systems to create a more complete drainage solution. While curbing helps guide water along surface transitions, trench drains capture and move that water away from the field, improving overall water control across the facility.

By combining edge control with effective drainage systems, facilities can improve playability, reduce downtime after rain events, and protect both the field surface and surrounding infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can precast elastic curbing help manage surface water?

Properly installed curbing helps guide surface water toward drainage systems and prevents runoff from crossing into adjacent surfaces where it may cause erosion or standing water.

Where is precast elastic curbing typically installed?

This type of curbing is commonly installed along the edges of synthetic turf fields, track perimeters, stadium walkways, and field surrounds where different surface materials meet.
