A first-class multi-sports centre with top quality playing surfaces was the ultimate goal for Hamilton and Alexandra College. TigerTurf Evo Pro was selected as the perfect surface for high performance hockey and tennis teams – and looks splendid too!

The Hamilton and Alexandra Story

The school’s new hockey and tennis facility has been a long time in the planning, but it was always going to be a high performance sports centre for training, games and tournaments up to international standard.

Top Multi-Sport Surfaces

TigerTurf Evo Pro offers all these qualities, and more. As one of our , Evo Pro is manufactured from our advanced texturised monofilament yarn. An outstanding hockey turf, it is also superb for tennis and several other sports, even soft enough for recreational football. And did we mention tough, durable and safe for all footwear?

Remarkable Improvement

TigerTurf Evo Pro was chosen by Hamilton and Alexandra College after seeing the impressive Evo Pro hockey surface at Melbourne Grammar, which is also great for tennis and multi-sports use.

The Hamilton and Alexandra Evo Pro surface is a dressed surface: it has a layer of sand to support the base of the yarn blades and keep them upright, but is not filled with sand. This is a useful feature for schools – hockey sticks are not damaged by constant abrasion with sand, and sand is not carried off the surface into classrooms.

Hockey can be played on the surface either wet or dry, an especially desirable feature where water is a premium. It allows schools and organisations to have the surface in play as a dry surface, with the option of switching it to a wet surface in the future.

TigerTurf constructed the new facility throughout a demanding Victorian winter, with all the inclement, variable conditions it could throw (and did) at our construction team.

The construction team carried out the full excavation, and then built a stable, asphalt base to support the Evo Pro turf system, including a rubber pad beneath the surface. The paths, surrounds and fencing were installed, and the turf was ready for play when the clouds rolled away.

Australia's most advanced synthetic turf manufacturer with a passion for performance

Performance is everything when it comes to synthetic turf.

You need a surface that will go the distance, with minimal maintenance. We provide dependable, high performance surfaces for:

  • Sports fields, courts, and greens
  • School campuses
  • Playgrounds
  • Residential lawns
  • Commercial landscaping

And more. With our decades of experience, we’ll find a solution that is high quality and high performance, without being high maintenance.

Made for Australian Conditions - We’re one of the largest synthetic turf manufacturers in the world, but we started in Auckland, New Zealand in 1981. We still make almost all of our products in our Auckland factory, with materials manufactured by our parent company, TenCate Grass. Local manufacturing means that we can ensure quality is maintained throughout the process.

Accreditations and Memberships - Because of the quality, performance and realistic nature of TigerTurf’s artificial grass, TigerTurf is recommended for high level training and competition. Many of our artificial grass turfs have been approved and certified by world sporting bodies, including FIFA, World Rugby, FIH, and ITF. It's also ISO 9001 accredited.

Experience and Expertise - You want to make sure the company you choose to work with knows what they're doing. We've been in the synthetic turf industry for over 40 years, and have also been instrumental in developing the products and systems that result in world class, top performing surfaces. We design, manufacture, install and maintain our surfaces, applying the innovation and expertise we've gained over the years into every project - large or small.

Quality and Innovation - We control the quality and performance of every synthetic turf system we create, in our own factory, at every step of the production process. We control where and how our yarns are extruded. We control which products go into our fibres. We develop and manufacture our own backing cloths. We develop, manufacture and build the performance bases that we lay our turf systems over. And finally, we can recycle our old, end-of-life products into new, start-of-life products.

Industry Leading Products - Our industry leading products cover a range of uses for sports, in all levels of education and in sports grounds for elite and community levels of play. We also provide quality surfaces for domestic and commercial landscaping.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
