Tencate executes world's largest synthetic grass project

In March 2013 the largest synthetic grass landscaping project in the world was realized not far from King Khaled international airport in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).

This two-tone landscape with a surface area of 200,000 m2 is based on monofilament yarns from TenCate Grass.

The landscape has been realized close to King Khaled airport, to the north of the capital of Saudi Arabia.

The yarns were developed especially for this project by the R&D staff of TenCate Grass in Dubai to ensure they would satisfy the ten-year UV guarantee. In addition, 250,000 kg of yarns had to be supplied in just three weeks at the height of the high season.

This is an achievement that only TenCate could – bearing in mind that Riyadh registers the highest solar activity in the world.

The synthetic turf has been installed by Hatko Sports (Turkey), partner of TenCate in already a number of synthetic turf projects. The project in Riyadh took only 150 days – from delivery to installation.
