Tiger Turf exceeded our expectations with their professionalism and attention to detail during our $2.5 million turf project. Their communication before, during, and after the project was outstanding, ensuring we were informed every step of the way. Their expertise and advice on product selection truly made a difference. - Mr Heath McNeil, Leader of Learning
TigerTurf worked closely with Ormiston Primary School from the very beginning of the design phase, ensuring that every aspect of the project met the school’s needs and expectations.
We engaged a skilled engineer to oversee the technical specifications, ensuring the field would meet both performance and safety standards. Breaking ground marked the start of an exciting journey, followed by the installation of a suitable subgrade and advanced drainage systems to ensure optimal field conditions year round.
The site then underwent meticulous final grading before our patented ecocept® pad was laid, providing a durable and environmentally friendly sports pad and drainage layer made from diverted plastic and rubber waste. We enhanced the area with new concrete path surrounds and top-quality fencing to ensure safety and accessibility.
The project culminated in the installation of our latest technology non-infill turf system, NRG2, delivering a premier playing sustainability.
ecocept®
Installing an ecocept® pad at Ormiston Primary School under the NRG2 Turf system brings several key advantages. The ecocept® pad is engineered to provide superior shock absorption, enhancing player safety by reducing the impact on joints and muscles during physical activities. This innovative pad also improves drainage efficiency, ensuring the field remains playable even after heavy rain, thus minimizing downtime and maintenance.
Additionally, the ecocept® pad is made from recycled materials, aligning with the school’s sustainability goals and reducing the overall environmental impact of the project. Its durable construction extends the lifespan of the turf system, offering a long-term, cost effective solution for the school’s sports facilities.
NRG2
The installation of TigerTurf’s NRG2 non-infill turf system at Ormiston Primary School greatly enhances their sports facilities. Unlike traditional turfs, NRG2 has no stabilizing infill, which extends surface life, reduces maintenance costs, and lowers environmental impact. Developed with PSV Eindhoven football players, this innovative turf combines yarn support with a sports pad for optimal performance.
Installed on the ecocept® sports pad, made from recycled materials, NRG2 offers superior shock absorption, consistent playability, and minimal maintenance, creating a safe, high-performing, and eco-friendly environment for the school.
The collaboration between TigerTurf and Ormiston Primary School has produced a cutting-edge football field with the ecocept® sports pad and NRG2 non-infill turf, eliminating microplastics.
