NATURAL OR SYNTHETIC? Natural or Synthetic? LIFECYCLE COSTINGS Compare how an 8,000 square-metre installation of LigaTurf stacked up to the estimated cost for a natural turf, projected over 10 years. Natural The use of synthetic turf football surfaces is becoming more widespread throughout the world. An organisation’s (sport club, association, local or state government) decision whether to have a natural grass or synthetic turf sports ground comes down to their specific objectives for environmental, social, health and financial outcomes.

Water Costs OVER 10 YEARS Selecting your preferred LigaTurf product LigaTurf systems are the first choice for playing fields where football is exclusively played. They are pleasantly soft and provide a natural feel for the players with optimum rolling and rebound properties for football, rugby and Australian rules football (AFL). When making your selection consider which sporting application system will best suit your intended use. Will you only be playing elite soccer on this field or is this perhaps a community project where a budget option with multi-sport capabilities would apply? Whatever your needs, we have a LigaTurf surface to suit. Design and construction begins 3. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION Every sporting facility project is different and presents its own unique aspects and challenges. Ensure your design and construction teams have the correct experience to translate your vision into a reality. Part of a successful, winning formula is engaging local expertise in the form of local grounds personnel, caretakers, environmental authorities, civil contractors and combining their knowledge to meet all the local requirements and standards. We recommend you only use certified, approved installers. THE ELASTIC ‘SHOCK ABSORBING’ LAYER The shock absorption layer of the APT system is installed onsite and consists of recycled SBR granules and bonding agents to ensure that the LigaTurf synthetic surface is both stable and yielding to protect the athletes. Factors that are key in sports physiology, such as shock absorption and deformation, are permanently kept within a precisely defined value range thanks to the special APT formulation.
