A fascinating daily programme of ground stabilisation techniques for synthetic sports surfaces is being staged in the Pitch Construction Area at IOG SALTEX (Windsor, 2-4 September) by Smith Construction, a pioneer in applying the process in the sports surfacing industry.
Originally established in a basic form during Roman times, the technique now is a civil engineering discipline based on proven formula and widely used for large scale civil engineering projects like aircraft runways, highways, quays and railways.
The ground stabilisation process being demonstrated for the first time at IOG SALTEX will show the successive build stages of an all-weather pitch, beginning with soft and muddy ground and progressing through the stabilisation sequence using stone, tarmac and rubber shock pad and, finally, various synthetic grass sports surfaces.
According to Smith Construction’s project development manager Jeanette Munton: “Being the only company offering this stabilising technique as well as traditional build methods, we know IOG SALTEX is the ideal venue to demonstrate the capabilities of a cost-effective process that reduces environmental impact and provides excellent results all year round, even on poor ground.
“With visitors from across the open space spectrum – including decision-makers responsible for all types of sporting venues and surfaces - the demonstrations will undoubtedly appeal to the show’s wide-ranging audience.”

The show is attended by open space management professionals and contractors – from groundsmen and greenkeepers through to play officers, architects, designers and surveyors as well as local authority and outdoor leisure facility managers.
