Solution
TurfPave XD modules were installed over the prepared grounds which was first excavated, levelled and compacted with sand. The modules have high compressive strength and snap-on connections allow large panels to be assembled on site ensuring that the modules remain in place. Flexible connecting grids allow modules to follow the contours of uneven surfaces. TurfPave XD cells have 80% unrestricted root base area and top and bottom notches which allow unrestricted runner and root growth. The modules were covered over with soil and then with a thin sand layer and further compacted with a mechanised roller. The spectator stands were then erected over the firm and level ground.
