Sports and public facilities

Sports facilities in public areas and educational institutions, such as basketball columns or football goal frames may seem whole and stable, but this is not always the case when inspected in depth and thoroughly.

Rainfall trapped within the foundations, abrasion during use, material fatigue, damage to the facility and design errors, may result in a dangerous and unsafe play environment.

The testing package offered by Gabi Shoef in accordance with Israeli Standards 5515 and 5517 will provide you with peace of mind in preventing collapses, entrapment of fingers or head and other additional hazards.

The tests include a visual examination of the device, measurement of free space and the existence of protective padding as well as the rigidity and stability of the facility frame, using load tests according to standard.
