Santiago, Chile - The National Stadium of Chile has been undergoing renovations recently to make the historic building a world class facility. No expense has been spared in the renovation process. Realizing their once in a lifetime chance to create a home stadium worthy of the Chilean National Soccer Team, both the management of the stadium and the Santiago City Government have exhaustively researched their options for all facets of the renovation.
Having brought the natural turf field up to world standards, the next step was to ensure the proper protection. All stake holders understood that in order to become truly world class, non-athletic events would need to be held to both provide a revenue stream, as well as provide a cultural benefit to the city.
It was recognized that the above task would not be an easy one. While a turf protection system would be required, they wold not be able to simply settle for the least expensive system. They required a system that not only would properly protect the pitch, but would also be easy to handle, would allow sunlight to penetrate to promote healthy turf, would allow for expansion and contraction of the panels in changing temperatures, would be durable and had a proven track record of protecting pitches at National Stadiums throughout the world.
Through their extensive research, they discovered that a number of systems were available in the market. However, they also discovered that not all products are created equal and that it was not only the product that made the difference, but the company as well. Throughout the research and bidding process, a lot was learned about the products and companies involved. It was unanimously decided that the best product for the National Stadium was the original Terraplas System from Covermaster. With over 20 years of proven performance at National Stadiums in all corners of the Globe and unrivaled company support from Covermaster and Terraplas, there was no other option to which they were prepared to trust their National Team's pitch.
