TURFTECH UNVEILS SOUTH AFRICA ’ S FIRST WORLD- CERTIFIED SYNTHETIC RUGBY FIELD
Despite Turftech having installed numerous FIH- ( International Hockey Federation ) and FIFA- ( Federation Internationale de Football Association ) accredited synthetic hockey and soccer pitches around South Africa , it was only in the past year that the country welcomed its first full-size synthetic rugby field constructed to world rugby standards . Durbanville Curro , the flagship Curro Holdings Ltd school based in Cape Town , was the first site chosen for this innovative rugby field design .
KLS Consulting Engineers provided the overall design for the field which not only conformed to stringent world rugby standards , but also included a custom underground drainage and pavement system . Turftech , a leader in both natural and synthetic turf technology , were brought on board for this pioneer project , with partners , Rhino-Turf , brought in for their unique rugby turf product .
William Allan , Sales Director of Rhino- Turf , said : “ We ’ ve used our superior VT60 , which is the same product we ’ ve installed at a number of sites in the United Kingdom .
This is a tried-and-tested system for rugby fields , and we ’ ve also installed them over in Singapore , the Middle East and in Italy .”
Andries Greyling , CEO of Curro , said : “ We ’ ve established , over the years , that trying to maintain a rugby field in the Western Cape is quite difficult . By putting down a field like this , we are giving our learners better support , and a better field to look forward
to . It ’ s been an amazing project that was well-managed and well communicated . The field is certified for international games , and I ’ m proud to be part of this project .”
