Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the 2006 15th Asian Games and the HG Turf installation at Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar. States that "the first stage of the Asian Games project was to locate a suitable turf nursery in the desert conditions of the [Persian] Gulf, to plant and mature the Motz stabilised [stablized] turf." Explains that "desert sand storms, extreme temperatures, and lack of rainfall were the biggest challenges, but with careful nurturing the product was ready for harvest and installation by the Games deadline." States that "the second stage of the project combined the harvest and installation...[they] were scheduled around the clock with two crews at either end of the process each working a 12-hour shift." |
