Spohn Ranch will provide a 15-year limited warranty on all pre-cast skate elements installed. This means that the most specialized, expensive elements of the project will receive the maximum protection. This warranty replaces any defective pieces for the first 15-years of the park's life. During the first 5-years, these replacements will be completely free to the city with Spohn Ranch bearing all costs. In the ensuing 10-years, the only cost the city will bear will be the labor to install the pieces. All other flatwork and hardscape will be protected by a i-year guarantee of work. The expected lifespan of the pre-cast skate elements is 50 years with virtually no required maintenance. Because the pre-cast elements are insulated from ground by an air cavity, the riding surface of the park is not affected by changes in the underlying soil. This is particularly important given the mangrove area adjacent to the park. During the wet season, the soil beneath the park may expand with moisture. This will stress a traditional poured-in-place concrete park and will lead to cracking and weeping of water through the cracks. Another factor that will expand the lifespan of Sunny Isles' park is proper use of metal edging. Traditional poured-in-place construction struggles to properly integrate metal edging along the grindable surfaces. This is why these traditional designers often use curving and sweeping forms instead of the right angles that skaters prefer.
