Evergreens UK were pleased to complete the supply and manufacture of 7000sqm of artificial grass including 2000sqm that was produced to match the colour of the sand around the Bahrain racetrack.
The surface had to be pre-cut into 2m x 4m with a tolerance of +/- 5mm and included over 10 tonnes of Adhesive.

The order was shipped in two parts, the 5000sqm of Grass Park Senior Olive was processed and shipped by sea freight which was packed into two 40ft containers along with 7tonnes of adhesive. The Grass Park Senior Olive was taken from stock and cut on our automated tables to the exact sizes required, but the Sand colour artificial grass yarn had to be produced to meet the exact match of Bahrain Sand.

Once the yarn was produced and tufted, the 2000sqm of surface was cut to the same requirements as the olive grass then packed onto three 2m x 4m pallets. Each pallet was over 2m high and weighed 3 tonnes and included 1 tonne of adhesive on each. Once complete the Sand coloured grass was shipped airfreight to meet the tight deadline of the 2005 F1 Grand Prix. The total air-freight consignment used the entire main cargo bay area of a British Airways flight to Bahrain.

So Why Artificial Grass?
Due to problems last year with sand blowing onto the track and more importantly into the cars the decision was made to replace some of the sand in the most problematic areas with sand and olive coloured artificial grass. The sand was removed and the area was tarmaced and concreted then the grass was bonded down to ensure that if a car were to drive over it would not tear or damage the car.

What The F1 Drivers Think About LazyLawn Artificial Grass
Question from commentry too all the drivers; 'Obviously they've laid that green artificial grass on the outside of the corners near the kerbs what do you think?'

Michael Schumacher response: 'It is what we want. It is better than grass, gravel or whatever. This is at least pretty consistent, flat, you can control the car. It's the best solution we have found. We are happy to listen to any further good suggestions you may have but we haven't found anything better.'
