Complete replacement of Cluj Arena sports turf

blank

The following works were carried out:

  • Decoupling of existing land and storage in the form of rolls;
  • Uncovering of sandy porous substrate (to a depth of approximately 35 cm) and removal of uncovered substrate;
  • Replacement of the field heating/de-icing system (flexible electric field heating cables, field temperature sensors, temperature control thermostats, resistance connection boxes - 6 field resistance connection boxes on the sanded area, located approximately 1m from the tartan covered surface), including recovery of the existing de-icing system - over 36 km/l of cables;
  • Laying of a porous sand substrate (0.01mm-0.4mm - 20cm thick, respectively 0.4mm-0.8mm - 11cm thick and peat layer);
  • Checking the de-icing installation in the field (flexible electric heating cables, connecting cables between resistors and electric panels, temperature sensors in the field, electric de-icing panels in the field);
  • Checking the drainage system and the irrigation system;

Turf installation and maintenance products covered the entire 7900 sqm of the field, as well as the proper operation and maintenance of the systems, installations, equipment that are designed to maintain an environment with optimal conditions for turf growth.

Maintenance products will also be used for the turf on the slope around the stadium on an area of 5400 sqm.

Technical characteristics of the turf roll required to replace the existing turf:

  • The combination of seeds - certified with quality certificate, used to obtain the turf rolls was made from varieties of Lolium perenne 30%, Poa pratensis 70%, substrate composition 80% sand, 20% organic matter, turf density 98%.
  • The turf is mature, minimum age 16 months - maximum 18 months, healthy (no spots), with dense roots, acclimatised, resistant to heavy traffic, dark green colour.
  • Turfgrass is a mixture of seeds selected for trampling tolerance, speed of recovery, winter hardiness, low mowing tolerance, high density.
  • The turf is mounted on sandy substrate, the last 5 cm of the substrate has a 1:9 peat content and is enriched with NPK complex and minerals needed by the root system.
  • The turf is without an intermediate plant sedimentation layer (no touch layer).
  • The turf has been delivered in big-rolls with a minimum width of 0.70 m and a variable length between 10 - 18 m. Variations depend on the moisture content of the soil at the time of stripping. The installation was done with special sports turf rollers, attached to the tractor and fitted with turf tyres. The turf roller is at least 4 cm thick (1-2 cm soil layer and 2-3 cm aerial plant part (grass)).
