Turftech re-surfaces 2 University of Auckland sports fields

Turftech have recently completed an ambitious project to re-surface and fully drain 2 sports fields at Colin Maiden Park belonging to the University of Auckland.  The work involved spraying out and removing the existing turf.  Drainage was then installed at 10 metre centers.  The fields were top-dressed with sand, scarified and seeded with the new warm season turf - Regal Stay Green.

Within 10 days the seed had fully germinated and within a month almost full cover had been achieved.  The work from spraying to seeding was all completed within a month.

Turftech installs fairway irrigation at Remuera Golf Club

Turftech have been selected to install irrigation into the 1st and 2nd fairways at the Remuera Golf Course.  Stephane Bessette recently joined Turftech to head up the new irrigation and drainage division.  He has most recently worked at the North Shore Golf Club responsible for their irrigation system.

Remuera Golf Club intends to replace all their travelling irrigators with in-ground fairway irrigation.
