Technical Field

The present invention relates generally to a field reconstruction and construction method for constructing community tropical-style swimming lagoons in the central field of racing and/or active rings, which are suitable for swimming and water sports practice, wherein a portion of the inner field of such racing and/or active rings is removed in order to form swimming lagoons. At least one public use controlled area exists in the tropical style swimming lagoons, and the beach area is preferably located within the controlled use area.

Background

Despite ever being a thriving market, the growth of competitive and/or activity circuits such as racetracks, high-speed tracks, sporting tracks, etc. has been stopped, sometimes even declining or limited in use, for many years, one reason being the lack of innovation and additional amenities and features of these facilities.

In the case of a racetrack, the market size in 2019 was estimated to be $ 38 billion (ibis world,2004), with a steady decline of-0.6% per year on average over the last five years. There are over 75 racetracks in the united states alone (WorldCasinoIndex,2019), and over 250 worldwide, representing a significant market for developing and promoting new uses and innovations.

In the case of racing tracks, there are many types such as clay tracks, paved oval tracks, and high-speed tracks. Mud track racing is one of the most common types of racing cars in the united states, with over 700 earth oval tracks in the united states (SpeedDirectory,2019) according to the National Speedway Directory (National Speedway Directory). On the other hand, paved tracks are also used for racing, commonly known as speedways, which have different shapes but always have a central position in which the race circuit is oval in shape.

Generally, these types of facilities are used only during day planned activities and competitions, and are not typically used daily or at night, which means that there are many periods of "inactivity" (dead) where the facilities are not utilized, and therefore their opportunity cost is very high.

For example, racetracks typically hold one to two races each week, mostly on weekends, with some facilities holding competitions for months of the year rather than all the year round. The situation is very similar for racing lanes and high-speed racing tracks, where events are held up to several times per week. Sports circuits are used even less often with sports competitions or games being held several times a month.

However, it is important that even though these facilities are doing events, there are areas such as interior areas that are not typically used for other purposes. Spectators and visitors are generally concentrated outside the boundaries of the track, and the inner and center of the track do not take other significant activities.

On the other hand, all these types of facilities are designed, built and licensed to accommodate a large number of people and tourists, provided with an appropriate number of parking spaces, road connections, toilet facilities and other facilities suitable for hosting large events and gatherings. In addition, most of these facilities are located at or near urban locations or are readily available to a large number of people. It is important to emphasize that these types of installations are very similar in appearance, often tending to adopt coarse concrete and man-made looking structures, which are not aesthetically pleasing to the guest.

It is therefore not desirable to know why all these sites, designed and built to accommodate a large number of people, are not fully utilized, being used only a few times a week or each season, but if necessary they already have all the infrastructure required for every day of operation. There is poor urban space utilization where facilities that can gather large numbers of people and are in gold sections where visitors easily reach are not used more frequently.

In addition to the fact that well-connected urban space with infrastructure for large events and gatherings has not been well utilized, the global tourism industry has seen explosive growth over the years with a significant increase in its carbon footprint (see fig. 1, showing the increase in visitors over the years). This is mainly because people have to travel long distances and use their cars or have to board planes or use other vehicles to reach waterfront arrangements and beach areas, sometimes having to make hundreds of miles to get to a beautiful waterfront beach arrangement, resulting in a lot of carbon footprint due to all such movements. This is particularly important today, as today's society becomes very concerned with the carbon footprint, with travel being one of the major contributors to carbon emissions.

Finally, it is important that the urban population, in the case of very busy and tense urban areas, have an ever increasing demand for open leisure spaces in which they can relax, perform sports training, enjoy beautiful scenery and spaces. The space available for people to gather is very scarce and the old tradition of people gathering in shopping centers or retail establishments has turned to looking for open air natural environments.

Thus, as previously mentioned, many of these track facilities have been built as infrastructures to accommodate a large number of people, but have limited use or use only during planned events, are aesthetically unappealing, and provide very limited activities and amenities to visitors.

Detailed Description

As shown in fig. 3, the method of the present invention can innovatively modify areas located in urban areas with good connectivity, but currently using very few racetracks and within racetracks, to provide a beautiful tropical style beach-like arrangement in front of clear lagoons, helping to address the need for more recreational urban open-air space and travel needs with a smaller carbon footprint, and thus becoming a totally new incentive to possibly change people's lifestyles around the world.

The present invention relates generally to a field reconstruction and construction method for constructing public controlled tropical style swimming lagoons with clear water and beach in the central field of racing and/or active circuits suitable for swimming and water sports practice, wherein a portion of the inner field of such racing and/or active circuits is removed to form swimming lagoons according to design, construction parameters and construction. At least one public use controlled area exists in the tropical style swimming lagoons, and the beach area is preferably located within the controlled use area.

As used herein, tropical style refers to round, clean water lagoons that are suitable for leisure purposes and usually have clear, green water with no visible macroalgae present, nor the green water tones of artificial lagoons and lakes as in parks and golf courses and the like.

The present invention aims to improve the aesthetics and to provide new uses for racing and/or activity circuits such as horse races, high speed races, sports races, etc., so that such facilities can be used for longer periods of time and/or periodically than is currently the case when used once or twice a week.

An important and common feature of all these facilities is the presence of a large infield located at the central location of the facility, which is surrounded by a race circuit. Meanwhile, current global trends indicate that people are more and more willing to participate in outdoor activities that bring them into beautiful natural landscapes and landscapes, of which the top-level experience is to be placed on tropical sand beach and waterfront landscape.

The present invention therefore discloses a site reconstruction and construction method for the construction of tropical-style swimming lagoons with sand beaches in the central field of a racing or sports circuit, with the aim of reusing the infield of such a circuit by constructing a leisure site with at least one swimming lagoon and additional facilities. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the leisure area comprises a number of leisure facilities and may comprise a swimming area in a swimming lagoon, the perimeter of which has at least one beach.

As used herein, a race or activity circuit refers to any motor vehicle, animal or sports circuit or circuit used for racing such as cars, carting cars, motorcycles, trucks, horses and dogs, and track and field sports events.

As used herein, infield refers to the land that is included at the interior location of the race or activity circuit.

Typically, infield venues do not have tall building facilities or structures, as such venues should not significantly obstruct the view of visitors viewing the competition or event circuit facilities. Therefore, an interior field must be provided in order to plan and coordinate the demolition process and the construction of tropical-style swimming lagoons. The infield is located within the perimeter of the race/event circuit.

In more detail, the demolition process comprises excavating at least a portion of the infield to excavate layers between 15cm and 6m to provide the necessary excavation volume for the construction of swimming lagoons. For clarity, in this patent application, the term "demolition" encompasses not only the toppling or removal of the current monument or installation, but also the removal of debris or non-fixed material from such areas and the digging or digging of a portion of the ground as part of the construction method.

Optionally, if permanent or rigid monuments are present in the infield, such monuments can be removed to perform the necessary excavation for constructing swimming lagoons.

The demolition process involves digging mechanically to a depth of 20cm above the final digging level, where the final 20cm can be dug manually.

Once the design excavation level is reached, the bottom soil must be compacted to achieve a 95% modified glucan (Proctor) density. By 95% improved goodpasture density is meant that the soil at the bottom is compacted to 95% of its maximum dry density. The purpose of this is to reduce the post-construction settlement rate of such soils. For reference, the modified dextral test uses a 4 inch diameter mold (which holds 1/30 cubic feet of soil) and 10 pound hammers, dropped from 18 inches, with five lifts each at 25 impacts to achieve approximately 56,250ft-lb/ft3 of compaction work. This can also be explained by the excavated bottom being compacted to 95% of maximum dry compacted density when the soil type has more than 12% material passing through a N ° 200 mesh (0.075mm opening) based on modified dextran test (ASTM D1557-02). When the soil type has less than 12% material passing through a N ° 200 mesh (0.075mm opening), the soil must be compacted to achieve no less than 80% of its relative density.

The process also includes excavating a volume of at least 4,000m3, preferably at least 7,000m3, from an area within the infield site. This excavated material will preferably be used as an earthwork necessary to provide a basin of a swimming lagoon, where such an earthwork is created within the property perimeter, and where the basin comprises a basin perimeter and a bottom. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that excavated material may prove unsuitable for earthworks. For example, the material may include a mixture of rock, cement, tar, or other crushed stone. In this case, suitable fillers and other materials may be delivered to the site for earthworks.

The basin for lagoons is preferably designed and constructed such that its surface area is at least 3,000m2, preferably at least 5,000m2, more preferably at least 10,000m2, and most preferably at least 15,000m2, and its deepest point has a minimum depth of 1.4 meters. For reference, the infield area of most tracks is between 2 and 20 hectares, and the infield area of some large tracks in the world is, for example, 16 hectares (e.g., the madamada of debay).

It is important to underline that for the swimming lagoons of the invention, with a surface greater than 3,000m2, the traditional swimming pool construction techniques are not economically and technically feasible, since for example the construction of swimming pools requires large and thick concrete structures comprising a series of inlets and outlets in the walls and in the bottom of the structure, so as to be able to generate water movements and cycles that allow filtering the entire volume of water at least once a day. This is primarily to obtain a uniform body of water, so that when the water flow is extracted and filtered, it means that the entire volume of water is being filtered, and there are no dead zones where there is no water circulation and therefore no effective filtration can be obtained.

For example, swimming pool regulations around the world require the use of bottom and/or wall nozzles, wherein the regulations preferably require the use of a bottom inlet to enable proper water mixing and circulation to be provided to the filtration system before water is drawn from the pool. For example, florida pool construction codes require that entrances be installed such that the spacing between floor entrances does not exceed 20ft (6m) and the distance between the bottom entrance and the wall does not exceed 10ft (3 m). This means that in addition to wall inlets, for example, an olympic pool of 25m x 50m would require more than 35 bottom inlets, while a pool of 3,000m2(60m x 60m) would require more than 70 bottom inlets, which would further allow for a mixed water volume that, when pumped from a main drain, skimmer or other point of water intake and sent to a filtration system, could effectively filter the entire volume of water of the pool 1 to 6 times per day (typically 4 times per day, according to regulations). The present invention preferably requires that swimming lagoons have at least 50% fewer inlets than required by conventional swimming pool filtration systems, according to pool standards. In contrast, for lagoons with a surface of 15,000m2(150X100), the number of bottom inlets would exceed 350.

The enclosure is preferably constructed on at least a section of the basin perimeter to form a waterfront perimeter arranged and configured to enclose water within the basin. Such walls require backfill material to provide structural integrity to the wall.

Furthermore, the sloped region is preferably built in at least a section of the basin perimeter in order to create a beach channel perimeter. The sloped region is constructed such that the slope of the beach channel perimeter is between 5% and 30%. The sloped region may require the construction or placement of support plates to provide structural stability in such a position. For example, the support plates may be made of reinforced concrete, shotcrete, plastic, or other support material. For example, the inclined area may have a high foot traffic (foot traffic) for the user using swimming lagoons.

The shape of the waterfront perimeter is preferably curved to create a more natural tropical style swim lagoon appearance. Furthermore, the basin has a maximum width of 300 meters at its widest point. The width of lagoons is defined as the measured value or range of lagoons from one side to the other; the smaller of the two dimensions of lagoons measurements. The length of lagoons is defined as the largest dimension measurement of lagoons.

The maximum width of lagoons is limited to up to 300 meters, since at large distances, little visual influence is felt at the eye level.

The bottom of the basin is covered with an impermeable material to act as a water containment structure. Similar to a conventional swimming pool, the water impermeable base material covering the bottom of the basin comprises a plastic liner, shotcrete, or a flexible material that does not require the use of a thick concrete layer. The use of a massive thick concrete surface is problematic because, in addition to being costly, it can create structural tension, leading to cracks, fissures, settlement in the concrete and possibly affecting the structural properties of the basin.

In a preferred embodiment, the impermeable material comprises, among other solutions, a plastic pad having a thickness of at least 1 mm. The plastic liner may be of different colors and shades, but is preferably white, blue or light to provide a strong bluish shade to the body of water.

Swimming lagoons are built to provide new innovative amenities that can bring a completely new user experience in competition or active loop yards. Embodiments herein relate to swimming lagoons arranged and configured to optimize guest experience. In particular, lagoons are arranged and constructed in such a way that the relationship between all the elements and the usages of the different regions of lagoons enables guests and visitors to enjoy the experience and to interact with the different regions that can be designated for different usages. Preferably a beach area included in swimming lagoons. However, there may be situations where it is impractical or undesirable for a particular field to have a sloped beach channel with a swimming area.

Further, it is also preferred to build swimming lagoons in such a way that they can be used not only for swimming purposes, but also for performing several water sports, such as kayaks, standing paddleboards, boating, aquaplaning, etc., and also provide a spectacular blue-green limpid lagoon scenery from the spectator area of the racetrack.

Although swimming lagoons are artificial, swimming lagoons preferably include a shape that readily mimics natural geometry, and include a slightly elongated shape to provide at least one advantageous point for visitors to experience the compelling landscape of lagoons and their surroundings.

Furthermore, tropical-style swimming lagoons comprise different elements and areas for providing an optimized guest experience, preferably at least one controlled-use area. This is achieved by building one or more barriers around the perimeter of the basin of swimming lagoons in order to isolate the area of swimming lagoons to establish a controlled area of use in which limited use swimming lagoons are located. In this case, the controlled use area includes at least one beach channel perimeter within the basin perimeter, thereby providing new leisure facilities and leisure venues for the visitors. The barrier includes at least one access point to selectively allow a user to access the controlled use area. The remaining area around the perimeter of the basin may optionally be an open use area that the user is free to use, meaning it is a ticketless area. However, controlled use areas preferably require ticket, voucher or other entry fee payment for use in such areas, which fees may be included in other fees or payments, e.g., entry may be included in a seasonal ticket, or by being a member of an association or community, as part of a lodging facility, etc.

Controlled use areas can also be created around swimming lagoons for other uses. However, in the case of ticket-free zones, separate entry points must be included for both the controlled use zones and the ticket-free use zones of lagoons. This enables visitors to specifically participate in one or both areas, including natural pronunciation and artificial focus along the edges to encourage walking and foster visitors of the feeling of discovery, depending on their purpose of visiting the competition/activity circuit facility and its infield and lagoons. Swimming lagoons may also be illuminated by a lighting system to allow night use and have a spectacular view in the audience area. The lighting system comprises an external lighting system and/or an underwater system.

As already mentioned, lagoons preferably comprise at least one guest-controlled area of use for at least one beach area, wherein the beach area comprises the beach and an inclined transition to a swimming lagoon. The controlled use zones can be designed such that the ratio of total beach area to lagoon area is 1: 2. Further, the placement and design of the beach area preferably takes into account the approximate orientation of the summer sun to optimize the guest experience. In another embodiment of the invention, the controlled-use area surrounds the entire lagoon surface and may include additional amenities in the controlled-use area, such as leisure facilities including cafes, bars, restaurants, etc.

In another embodiment of the invention, it is also preferred to build a roundabout in the surroundings of lagoons and in the vicinity of the beach area(s). This creates opportunities for conducting events in unique environments, such as concerts and festivals, among others. Other activities include beach music, beach dining, and beach other activities, such as wedding and sporting activities, among others. The beach surroundings may include cafes, bars, restaurants, beach centers, walking corridors, hotels, entertainment facilities, virtual and immersive experiences, and similar facilities and amenities.

With ticketless areas within the premises, having at least one ticketless use area includes an optimized waterfront perimeter around swimming lagoons which has an unobstructed field of vision of the lagoons and is not directly in front of any beach area or flat open ground which may affect the aesthetic of the landscape. Ticketless areas of use include restaurants, cafes, malls, bars and similar facilities in their surroundings.

Screens may also be provided near swimming lagoons to broadcast content as well as family activities and performances, and the screens may be located in the same sector as a roundabout to create new activity venues with swimming lagoons as a background. Such screens may be fixed, removable and non-permanent to avoid obstructions to the race circuit during the race or activity, and may be used at other times when the race or activity is not being undertaken. The screen may also be used for streaming media live or recording events or general media, and the stage area may be used for broadcasting or hosting electronic competitions, concerts, dramas, performances, etc.

In an embodiment of the invention, facilities surrounding tropical-style lagoons are artificially arranged as a beach theme, including using blue and white with the inspiration of beach and beach kiosks and lighthouses.

It is important to emphasize that some features such as screens, amphitheaters, kiosks or other facilities built or installed around tropical style lagoons should not significantly interfere with the audience field of vision. The swimming lagoons may also be surrounded by vegetation, such as plants and trees.

The method of the invention also includes a communication path to allow the passage of vehicles and personnel from side to side without impeding the race and/or activity circuit. Such communication paths may include the construction of tunnel structures for connecting the outer and inner fields of a race and/or activity circuit, or may include bridge constructions, the race circuit being designed to enable the passage of persons and vehicles from one side of the race circuit to the other, or any other form that allows the passage of persons and/or vehicles, during non-race times.

Accordingly, other components embodying the principles of the present invention may be configured within the spirit and intent of the present invention. The arrangement described herein is provided merely as one example of an embodiment that incorporates and practices the principles of the present invention. Other modifications and variations within the knowledge of those skilled in the art, and are intended to be included within the broad scope of the appended claims.
