ournemouth University were overjoyed with the planned refur- bishment of their Sports facilities which all parts being rejuvenated


but the designs and estimates showed that their tired sports hall was going to have to wait. The client asked Kier Construction one


more time if anything could be done with the question passed on to Gerfl or whilst exhibit- ing at Ecobuild in 2011. Gerfl or had decided that the show was going to be the spring- board for massive new innovations, one being Tarafl exTM Ecofi tTM. Whilst older sports sur- faces had always led to large refurbishment

Used at every Olympic Games since 1976 and with over 60 Million Square metres installed globally, Tarafl exTM had both the elite sporting prefer- ence looked for by high level University Sport whilst also off ering top level protection needed by players. Rick McEvoy, a senior project manager


for Bournemouth University commented “We were suitably impressed when visiting a neighbouring school which had the same solution one year prior.

The refurbishment of the sports area had to include a new sports hall floor but we questioned if the


budget would allow. Anything more than a treating of the old Granwood surface was looking unlikely Rick McEvoy (Senior Project Manager, Bournemouth University)
