| Abstract/Contents: | Announces the development of "the world's first Mobile Turf Crossing" by the Sports Turf Research Institute working with Consulting Engineers, Sinclair Knights Merz (formerly Modus SKM) and a Sheffield Engineering company, Street CraneXpress. Describes the development and testing of the movable turf system, which was installed at Ascot Racecourse. States that "horses galloped over the turf tray without detecting it and the turf itself successfully withstood the impact of the horses' hooves." Concludes that "research is now underway to find new applications for this ground moving technology." |
