Doğal çim yüzeyli futbol sahalarının hibrit halı tabanlı yöntem ile yenilenmesi: Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı örneği

Abstract

Since the playability and performance of hybrid turf pitches reflect natural grass pitch standards, they have been used in Europe for more than 20 years and have been frequently preferred in Turkey recently. Although hybrid turf systems are installed on football fields by various methods, the most popular one is the carpet-based hybrid method. These types of fields can be built from scratch or by renewing natural grass fields. When renovating natural grass fields, it should be considered that the processes and applications have a complex structure and the works should be carried out within a certain system. In this study, the renovation of the playing surface of the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, which is expected to host the UEFA Champions League Final in 2020, from natural grass to carpet-based hybrid grass has been examined. All renovation works were meticulously observed on site and the experiences gained were tried to be conveyed. In this way, it is aimed that the study will serve as a guide for future renovation work. Due to the complex nature of the renovation process, it is important to have the necessary knowledge when carrying out these operations. Since the renovation of these areas is expensive, it is important to ensure the necessary conditions are provided. The correct materials, essential technical equipment, and skilled personnel must be provided for the operations to be carried out, and measures must be taken to prevent any potential problems that may arise during the renovation phase.
