TigerTurf completes a remarkable new sports facility for Nayland College.The new Advantage high-performance multi-sports facility for Nayland College in Nelson will give years of rewarding performance to students.

  • Turf: Education & Multi-sports
  • Date Project Completed: July 2018
  • Area: 4,000m2
  • Surface: TigerTurf Advantage
  • Base: Existing Base plus 10mm BSW shock pad

Tennis, Netball, Basketball, Hockey, Futsal, and Sprinting
Players love the high standard of performance this fantastic surface provides for tennis, netball, basketball, hockey, futsal, and sprinting and for just about every other school activity and event. Designed for high-performance sports training and competition, TigerTurf Advantage is an attractive, safe surface for curricular use, PE lessons, and recreation – the new sports facility will be a student magnet, the most popular outdoor area of the school in all weather conditions, all year.

Nayland College’s new TigerTurf multi-sport centre sizzles with energy
The existing asphalt area was prepared to form a level, stable base for the new sports courts, with good drainage. Tree roots were removed to prevent damage to the surface, safeguarding the longevity and excellent performance of the new multi-sport courts.

The TigerTurf team firstly installed a 10m rubber shock pad over the base to cushion falls, provide shock absorbency and to help extend the lifespan of the TigerTurf Advantage multi-courts.

All-weather TigerTurf Advantage multi-sports courts ready for play every day
The multi-sport courts were completed with new sports equipment, including tennis posts, netball hoops, and basketball hoops and fencing. The rich blue, red, and green courts lift the appearance of the school grounds. Add a multitude of happy students and you have a hotpot of energy bubbling at the heart of the school.

The multi-use potential of the sports courts extends the hours of play available to staff for reliable curriculum planning, team sports training, and safeguards the competition schedule.  Now the students can train all year on their own first-class sports courts and host other school teams at Nayland College to inspire younger players. These exceptional, durable courts will be popular for after-hours use by community teams, too, contributing a welcome source of income to the school budget.

All-weather TigerTurf Advantage sails serenely through trying climatic conditions
High winds, torrential rain, and icy conditions delayed our progress during the project. The TigerTurf installation team regained lost time by working on this project during the school term. As always, all Health and Safety precautions were taken to ensure all students and staff were safe during this process. TigerTurf congratulates the Nayland College community on a successful project that produced this wonderful sports centre to open new opportunities for the students to excel and expand their learning.

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

- Made in New Zealand
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.

- 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 almost 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.

- 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.

- 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.
