Facility Specification Pack
Gymnastics facilities are equipment-dense and safety-led. Apparatus norms, clear zones, sprung floors, pits, ceiling volume, anchors, storage and rapid hall conversion need to be planned from the equipment outward.

PROJECT PATHProject Brief
01
PROJECT INTENT
Define the facility level before selecting systems.
Club / academy
Club gym with permanent training zones, pits, storage and coaching circulation.
Competition
Competition-capable hall with FIG-conforming apparatus pathway and event setup.
Elite / major venue
Major competition/training centre with certified apparatus, warm-up, media, spectator and professional operations.
02
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Twelve coordination clauses for the complete facility.
geometry
Map each apparatus, approach, landing, safety clearance and circulation zone before fixing the building grid or storage.
surface
Sprung floors, landing mats, pits and specialist track/tumbling systems should be treated as engineered performance/impact systems.
equipment
Exact apparatus, anchoring, cable/tension, mats and training variants need manufacturer/FIG evidence where competition use requires it.
lighting
Avoid glare, shadows and fixture/service conflicts above apparatus and flight paths.
spectators
Competition conversion needs safe separation, sightlines, judge positions and equipment movement routes.
structure
Floor anchors, pits, ceiling supports, rings/overhead systems, lighting and services require early structural coordination.
environment
Temperature, humidity and ventilation affect athlete comfort, chalk/dust management and equipment condition.
accessibility
Inclusive/adaptive participation and accessible spectator circulation should be incorporated at facility level.
storage
Gymnastics consumes exceptional storage volume: mats, beams, bars, springboards, training blocks and trolleys need dedicated bays.
technology
Scoring, judge systems, FÍSVOR, video and training analysis should be designed around competition and coaching modes.
evidence
FIG Technical Regulations and Apparatus Norms define equipment requirements; competition apparatus must follow the applicable current conformity/certification pathway.
lifecycle
Inspect frames, cables, anchors, springs, pads, mats, pits and flooring; record service intervals and equipment age.

DRAWING & SUBMITTAL ROADMAP
Draw the interfaces that can create procurement errors.
Apparatus layout
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Clearance plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Floor/pit sections
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Anchor schedule
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Overhead support plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Lighting/services coordination
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Storage plan
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
Competition conversion
Planning reference first. Exact fabrication, foundation, fixing or selected-system drawings follow after system verification.
05
EVIDENCE & RELEASE
Keep each evidence type attached to what it actually proves.
Governing rule
Defines sport or competition requirements. It does not approve a supplier or local construction detail.
Exact product evidence
Testing, approval, certification or manufacturer evidence must match the selected product/configuration.
Installed outcome
Where applicable, field/court/facility certification relates to the completed installation rather than the product alone.
Project engineering
Foundations, structural supports, wind/seismic, electrical and building interfaces remain project-specific.
Commercial release
Quantity, documentation, warranty, freight, installation boundaries, spares and handover are closed before order.

TECHNICAL RISK CHECK
Common symptoms that should trigger investigation.
Apparatus unstable
Remove from use; inspect frame, anchors, cables and setup.
Landing mats migrate
Review joins/fastening and operating setup.
Floor dead area
Inspect spring/subfloor and panel damage.
Chalk dust affects HVAC
Review extraction/filtration and cleaning.
Storage damages mats
Review rack/rolling method and aisle widths.
Lighting conflicts with flight path
Review fixture/service position against apparatus envelope.

PRIMARY GOVERNING REFERENCES
Verify final requirements at the official source.
World Gymnastics Rules
Current FIG Technical Regulations, discipline rules and Apparatus Norms; 2026 technical regulations and apparatus-norm updates are listed.
SUPPLY BOUNDARY
Apollo is supply-only.
Local design, foundations, civil works, installation, electrical work, statutory approvals, accessibility compliance and professional sign-off remain with the appropriate project parties unless a specific support item is expressly included. Current governing-body rules, exact selected-system data and local requirements take precedence over this planning pack.
