Installation Details and Procedures SpohnCrete precision cast components are designed to be installed on a granular material or an existing concrete or asphalt surface. The components are craned into place, levelled, set on a mortar bed and bolted together. Installation procedures involve a Spohn Ranch supervisor on every project working in conjunction with local labor or city operations people. This ensures the utmost quality control in the installation process. The shipping and unloading is coordinated with the installation process and occurs at the same time. This allows products to be off loaded and placed in the correct location prior to placement and minimizes excess handling. Project turnaround is dependent upon the size and complexity of the project. An average size park can be completed in 2-4 days. This includes product placement, seam grout, paint and guard rail installation. The labor component is predetermined and this information is presented to the client. Maintenance Schedule The philosophy behind SpohnCrete precision cast components is to provide an extremely low maintenance product. Every component is designed and constructed using high strength concrete. The coping and grind edges are stainless steel and the safety rails are hot-dipped galvanized. The riding surface of the ramps is offered in either a natural, smooth finish or an optional two part polyurethane industrial coated finish, both of which are designed to stand up to climatic conditions. Depending upon the aesthetic condition, the pOlyurethane surface coating may be recoated in 3-4 years, though it is not required. The galvanized safety rails may require periodic touch-ups with Galvicon paint if the coating is vandalized. There should be no other maintenance required for our components. Spohn Ranch components come with a Five Year Limited Warranty under normal skatepark use (we do not warranty against vandalism).
