Fatigate Construction’s Precision Grading for Equestrian Arenas and Expertise with Bobcat and Trimble Laser Technology
When it comes to equestrian arena construction, precision is everything. A well-graded riding surface isn’t just about aesthetics—it directly impacts the performance and safety of horses and riders. At Fatigate Construction, we specialize in delivering laser-accurate grading using our Bobcat E50 R2 Series excavator paired with the Trimble GCS900 dual laser grading system to create top-tier riding surfaces that meet the highest standards.
The Importance of Precision in Equestrian Arenas
Equestrian arenas require an exact, uniform surface to prevent injuries and ensure optimal footing. Even the slightest variation in grade can lead to uneven compaction, water pooling, and footing inconsistencies. With precision grading to within a hundredth of an inch, we eliminate these issues, ensuring superior drainage and consistent riding conditions.
Why the Bobcat E50 R2 Series is the Ultimate Tool for the Job
Our Bobcat E50 R2 Series is the perfect machine for fine-tuned grading in equestrian environments. This compact yet powerful excavator offers:
- Exceptional Stability: The E50’s minimal tail swing allows for precise maneuverability, crucial for maintaining smooth transitions across the arena surface.
- Hydraulic Finesse: With ultra-responsive controls, we can make subtle adjustments in grading without disrupting the underlying material layers.
- Compatibility with High-Tech Laser Systems: The Bobcat seamlessly integrates with advanced laser grading attachments, ensuring absolute precision.
How the Trimble GCS900 Dual Laser System Elevates Arena Grading
To achieve the highest level of accuracy, we pair our Bobcat with the Trimble GCS900 dual laser grading system. This cutting-edge technology offers:
- Millimeter-Level Precision: The dual laser receivers allow for real-time adjustments to keep grading consistent across the entire surface.
- Automated Control: The system automatically adjusts the grading attachment, ensuring the most uniform finish possible.
- Seamless Elevation Matching: Whether we’re creating a perfectly flat dressage arena or a subtly sloped jumping course for optimal drainage, the Trimble system allows for tailored, pinpoint accuracy.
