EASI-WINDSOR
SCORES AT THE MOSES
MABHIDA STADIUM
The 9,000m² run off that surrounds
the central soccer pitch at Durban’s
iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium
has been clad in Easi-Windsor. The
premier artificial turf with a WW
yarn imported from Europe has
only recently been added to the
Easigrass South Africa portfolio.
Although manufactured in Europe,
Easi-Windsor
was
designed
using four different shades of
greens and browns to closely
resemble
the
lawns
found
in
South Africa. Extensive research
and development coupled with the
superior quality and workmanship
associated with the multi-national
Easigrass
group,
which
is
a
world leader in artificial turf, has
provided a product that is durable
and low maintenance.
Easi-Windsor has a 35mm pile
height and is a beautiful lush grass
that mimics natural-looking lawn.
The green part that forms the tuft
is folded (ironed) into a double W
shape. This WW design gives this
turf a memory so that it immediately
bounces back after a person walks
on it. It retains an upright position
better than turfs manufactured
using old technology.
Other plusses include excellent
UV stabilisation that protects the
grass from degrading induced
by the harsh Durban sun as well
as durability that withstands the
high rainfall along South Africa’s
East Coast.
Easi-Windsor comes in 4m wide
rolls that needed to be cut and
carefully joined to produce an oval
shape for the runoff. The width of
the area under Easigrass varies
from 13m in some places to 17m
SOUND MASKING TECHNOLOGY ENSURES PRIVACY
Cambridge Sound Management, Inc. manufactures speech protection systems and
QtPro™ Sound Masking systems to help organisations across multiple industries protect
speech privacy, reduce noise distractions, and fuel workplace productivity. Powered by direct-
field Quiet Technology, QtPro works by emitting a uniform, barely perceptible background
sound at the frequencies of human speech. Cost effective and easy to install, QtPro is
deployed in hundreds of millions of square meters of space throughout the world including
commercial organisations, healthcare facilities, financial services, government agencies,
and educational institutions.
Keep Private Meetings Private
The Qt Conference Room Edition from
Cambridge Sound Management is a
cost-effective solution specifically
designed to protect the speech privacy
of conversations in conference and
board rooms.
An all-in-one solution for conference
room privacy, the Qt Conference Room
Edition consists of a control module,
two illuminated privacy signs, and a
series of direct-field sound masking
emitters. When a room occupant turns
on the control module inside of the conference room, it powers the sound masking emitters
placed in the ceiling just outside of the conference room. The emitters add a low level of
background sound making human speech less intelligible. Lighted privacy signs inside and
outside of the conference room indicate the system is running, and let conference room
occupants know their conversations are being protected.
It is easy to retrofit into existing conference rooms. Often overlooked in conference room
design and construction is the potential for private conversations to travel easily under, over,
or even through walls, glass and doors. In fact, according to a recent study fifty-three percent
of support staff workers have overheard confidential conversations at work.
