TigerTurf synthetic turf for Mill Park Secondary College
TigerTurf have been awarded the contract and commenced works on the $1million
plus development at Mill Park Secondary College for the City of Whittlesea in Melbourne's
outer northeast. The existing site consists of 20,000m² of uncontrolled fill of highly
active clay tipped at the site over the last 6 - 8 years.
The challenge for TigerTurf was to provide a solution to consolidate the fill material to
provide a suitable platform for sporting surfaces - for a soccer pitch, AFL oval and cricket
oval. In conjunction with consulting engineers and the council, TigerTurf have come up with
an innovative solution for the challenging site.
TigerTurf are using tried and tested methods involving impact rolling, laser guided earth
moving equipment and nuclear density testing to monitor the effectiveness of the compaction
techniques. The settlement will be monitored by certified surveyors prior to moving onto the
next stage.
The project has been funded by the Education Department and Drought Relief Fund and will be
used by the college and local clubs.
Works are scheduled to complete early 2009. To find out more about the 'one stop shop'
operation TigerTurf can offer for all your sporting applications, call TigerTurf on 1800
