Assembly:

To withstand the impact of balloons and intensive use, our filling tubes are carefully fitted into the frames, then welded. This assembly process requires exceptional precision, made possible by laser cutting.

The bar design offers superior inertia thanks to its greater absorption surface compared with solid round-iron infill.

Anti-corrosion treatment:

We take quality seriously, which is why we have chosen hot-dip galvanizing as our anti-corrosion treatment. In collaboration with our partner, who has one of the largest automated plants in Europe, we have integrated this process right from the design stage of our multisports pitches.

Key steps in the heat treatment process include:

• Selection of the ideal steel for optimal galvanizing, with class 1 properties, low silicon content (below 0.03) and low phosphorus content (silicon + 2.5 x phosphorus below 0.09).
• Design of parts to facilitate galvanizing flow during dipping.
• Complete inner and outer treatment of parts (including edges) for total protection.

The galvanizing of steels used by QUALI-Cité® complies with standards NF EN ISO 1461 and NF EN ISO 14713.

Powder coating: an excellent finish

At the heart of our production unit, our powder-coating workshop gives outdoor sports equipment a top-quality finish. This important step enhances the protection of our products and gives them a well-kept aesthetic appearance.

Process:

After galvanizing to protect our structures from corrosion, we use bead-blasting, a process of projecting non-contaminating particles such as glass beads, to obtain a rough texture comparable to orange peel. This meticulous preparation prepares the surface for the final treatment.

The parts are then powder-coated with a special Epoxy powder paint for exceptional adhesion. The result is a layer of paint around 100 microns thick, giving our equipment outstanding resistance to impact and corrosion.

The result is a solid surface that's pleasant to the touch, while preserving colors over time.

With powder coating, we combine know-how and aesthetics to produce outdoor sports equipment that stands out for its longevity and meticulous finish.
