Tigerturf & Mcardle Sport Tec Score A Tender For Ealing Council Fa Project

WALLINGFORD, U.K. - July 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Leading British manufacturer and accredited synthetic grass provider, TigerTurf, has collaborated with sports surface contractor, McArdle Sport-Tec Ltd, to manufacture and install a state-of-the-art football pitch for Ealing Council at Lord Halesbury Playing Fields.

The project was initiated in April 2013 by Ealing Council, with very specific criteria set out; they released a tender for artificial turf manufacturers, providing the opportunity to engage in a high profile, part-funded new build with the Football Foundation and the Football Association (FA). TigerTurf’s strong reputation in the sports industry coupled with their high performance products and ability to deliver innovative engineered solutions supported their win of the tender process.

Lord Halesbury Playing Fields offers a variety of field sports facilities, ranging from five-a-side football through to softball; the new pitch had to complement the existing natural turf pitch facilities, and be suitable for use all year round, no matter the weather. With the use of multi-purpose surfaces rapidly increasing, ensuring high performance and longevity is a necessity; a synthetic approach was adopted and TigerTurf was chosen as a result of the product credentials and its reputation for delivering good results.

The ten week project saw the building, manufacture and installation of the new pitch using TigerTurf’s Soccer Real 60XQ, with a total of 250k invested in the project. TigerTurf is committed to delivering high-quality products and each undergoes extensive testing; strong research and development ensures each recommended product meets client’s specific sporting requirements. Soccer Real 60XQ was chosen because of its leading multi 3G capabilities and its appearance; a lusher, more natural-looking pitch that withstands high frequency use for up to 20,000 playing hours.

Graham Bartlett, Sports Coach at Ealing Council is impressed with the completed project and looks forward to testing the new pitches over the coming months; he comments “We have been really happy throughout the whole process. Although we had very particular requirements, TigerTurf was able to interpret the brief we supplied and deliver above and beyond. We can now offer our facilities all year round, giving us potential increased revenue and longer playing hours. The product itself, Soccer Real 60XQ, really complements the existing pitches and you can hardly tell the difference! We are really looking forward to the opening of the new pitch on the 25^th July and cannot wait to start playing on it.”

Soccer Real 60XQ is - arguably the UK’s leading multi 3G surface; with XQ Technology it is a breakthrough in polymer processing. The artificial turf provides unrivalled split resistance, along with improved performance, durability and visual characteristics. TigerTurf has taken steps to ensure maximum player comfort; reduced infill splashing and shape retention even after extensive play ensures the turf remains both the best quality and highest performance. Limited infill top-up and maintenance also makes for a hugely cost-effective product. Soccer Real 60XQ, successfully meets the relevant industry standards; offering optimum playing characteristics for teams striving to climb the league table.
