Helping our customers achieve compliance, to create a safe environment for all stakeholders.
Surfcon’s team are trained and certified to undertake comprehensive post installation inspections of your wet pour rubber softfall and loose softfall surfaces. After a detailed site inspection we will confirm for you via report the conformity of your surface with the requirements of AS4422. We use a Wireless Value HIC measurement device, which consists of a metal sphere (head form) which is equipped with calibrated acceleration sensors. To determine the critical fall height of a surface the Head Impact Criteria (HIC) is determined by dropping the head from varying heights to the below surface and measuring the point where one of two safety criteria are exceeded. These two criteria are Head injury criterion exceeding 1000 and the maximum acceleration as a result of the impact exceeding 200g. gmax. The HIC is essentially a measure of energy absorbed as a result of the impact, and when the value exceeds 1000, a human brain can be susceptible to concussion.
It is a requirement under AS4422 that any impact attenuating surfaces such as our Playmix systems are tested upon completion, and ongoing every three years:
AS4422.
8.5.2 Comprehensive post-installation inspection
A comprehensive post-installation inspection shall be conducted by a competent person prior to opening the playground. This inspection shall verify that the playground conforms with the requirements of the relevant parts of the AS 4685 series and the impact-attenuating surfacing test in AS 4422.
8.5.6 Regular testing of impact attenuating surfaces.
As a minimum, unitary surfacing shall be tested in accordance with AS/NZS 4422 at least every three years.
To arrange an inspection of your existing or upcoming surfacing asset, bulk facilities, testing pricing or any further information on our compliance services for your new or existing play surface, please contact our friendly team.

The team at SCA was exceptional from start to finish. They were professional, efficient, and truly dedicated to making sure every detail was perfect. Our upgraded rubber surfaces look fantastic, and the improvements made to our playgrounds have had a tremendous impact on safety and aesthetics. The transformation is remarkable. Highly recommend SCA for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor space!

Our Kindergarten has recently had an old bike track removed and a new one installed by his company. We were extremely happy with the end result and our children cannot wait to put it to use. Our experience from start to finish was very positive, great communication even with Covid related delays, regular updates and the team who completed the work did not stop, finishing the job by the scheduled time. It was so good to see everything cleared and tidy once finished and nothing left for us to do. Highly recommended and have restored my faith in quality workmanship.

Outstanding workmanship. Very easy to work with during the process and amazing attention to detail. The work site was always clean and we have had a lot positive feedback about the 'feel' and look of the surfacing. Couldn't recommend them more. Daryl Trigg Immanuel Gawler

Great organization. Nathan and Mark have constructed two synthetic running tracks and countless playground rubber softfall pads for me. I would highly recommend them.
