| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, host of the 2007 International Cricket Council (ICC) Cricket World Cup. States that "Kensington Oval was the home of the Pickwick Cricket Club from 1882...In 2004, the STRI [Sports Turf Research Institute] was requested to assist in redeveloping the outfield at the Kensington Oval." Details the renovation process, stating that "key issues in the design work included the need to timetable the work to fit in with the construction of other facilities at the site, the balance between good drainage rates and the need for sufficient water retention to support grass growth, the availability of suitable materials in the West Indies, sources of irrigation water, the selection of the most suitable grasses and subsequent aftercare and management." States that "the construction profile consists of 175 mm [millimeters] of amended rootzone, 125 mm of unamended rootzone sand, a 50 mm blinding layer and a 100 mm gravel drainage layer." |
