Auckland City Council Project, Albany Stadium

Auckland City Council Project: Albany Stadium Pool Stone chip was wreaking havoc at an Auckland City Council swimming pool. SmartGrass was the solution. Stone chip was wreaking havoc at an Auckland City Council swimming pool. SmartGrass was the solution.
The challenge
Stone chip was wreaking havoc at the Auckland City Council swimming pool – Albany Stadium. An outdoor seating area laden with the stone chip was blocking drains, finding its way inside the facility and was generally an eye saw. SmartGrass was called on by Auckland City Council to revamp the outdoor seating area with turf that would upgrade its appearance, be comfortable for bare feet, withstand use as a bike parking area, resolve the maintenance costs associated with damage caused by the stones and most importantly, provide excellent drainage next to the swimming pool.
The solution
SmartGrass installers assessed the 25m x 3m site and created a plan to excavate and remove the existing stone chip and create a solid permeable base. All SmartGrass products are extremely durable and Oasis 35 was selected for its neat appearance, suitability to high foot traffic and 5x faster drainage. The site safe registered installation team at SmartGrass managed the project and completed it exactly to the client’s specifications and timeframe, as well as meeting all health and safety requirements.
