VivaTurf Non-Infill Turf: The Ultimate High-Efficiency Solution for Multi-Sport Venue Conversion
As multi-functional sports venues become the backbone of efficient land utilization in campuses, communities, and professional stadiums, the ability to switch quickly between football, basketball, badminton, athletics, and other activities has become a decisive factor in operational effectiveness. Traditional surfaces—such as rubber flooring or natural grass—often struggle with slow installation, difficult removal, and inconsistent performance after conversion. Non-infill turf has therefore emerged as a superior alternative, offering lightweight structure, modular configuration, and rapid installation and removal. Among global solutions, VivaTurf’s Non-Infill Turf stands out with industry-leading engineering, delivering unmatched conversion efficiency, structural stability, and multi-scenario adaptability. This article analyzes the core conversion requirements of modern multi-functional venues and presents the advanced technologies that cement VivaTurf’s leadership in this field.
Core Requirements for Conversion Efficiency: Fast, Non-Destructive, Stable
The benchmark for evaluating whether a surface system is suitable for multi-scenario conversion centers on four key metrics: efficient installation, flexible removal, cross-sport compatibility, and stability after conversion. Installation must be completed within ≤4 hours per 1,000 m², with no complex processes involved. Removal should require no tools or minimal tools, and the turf must remain undamaged for repeated use. The turf must also be compatible with multiple sports without modifying the base foundation, ensuring easy bonding and separation. After each conversion, essential performance indicators—flatness, elasticity, and friction coefficients—must remain stable. VivaTurf’s non-infill turf surpasses these standards through targeted innovations on all fronts.
VivaTurf’s Core Technologies Driving Conversion Efficiency
1. Lightweight Modular Design for Easier Installation and Removal
VivaTurf adopts a “lightweight base + modular panels” system designed specifically for high-frequency conversions. Standard module size is 4 m × 5 m (customizable to 2 m × 3 m), with a unit weight of only 12 kg/m², significantly lighter than the industry’s 15–18 kg/m². This allows 2–3 people to handle each panel effortlessly. Its integrated structure—combining turf fibers, shock-absorbing layer, and backing—eliminates the need for infill granules or adhesive layers. This reduces preparation time by 60%. A full 1,000 m² installation requires only 3 hours, compared with the industry norm of 6–8 hours—more than double the efficiency.
2. Innovative Locking and Fixation System: Fast, Tool-Free, and Damage-Free
VivaTurf’s “snap-lock” joint system provides tight bonding and rapid assembly. Joint width is controlled at ≤2 mm, with a tensile strength of ≥2.0 MPa, delivering 80% faster assembly versus traditional adhesive systems. Edge fixation uses an adjustable clip-based border rail that installs and removes without tools—one person can complete 1 meter of installation in just one minute. Tests show zero edge uplift, zero joint loosening under heavy athletic use, and ≥50 reuse cycles, far exceeding the industry standard of 30 cycles.
3. Cross-Sport Performance Compatibility Reducing Post-Conversion Calibration
Different sports require different performance characteristics. VivaTurf achieves universal compatibility via a “performance-tunable + uniformity-enhanced” structure.
• Football: 50 mm pile height, friction coefficient 0.65–0.70
• Basketball: 45 mm pile height, shock absorption 28%–32%
• Badminton: 40 mm pile height, sliding coefficient 0.45–0.55
All configurations share the same base compatibility, allowing module replacement without changing foundations. With laser-leveled tufting, field flatness deviation remains ≤0.5 mm per 2 meters, with performance variation ≤3%, eliminating post-conversion adjustments.
4. Environmental Adaptation and Durability Ensuring Long-Term Stability
VivaTurf uses 0.8% UV additives and 0.3% anti-freeze plasticizers, maintaining performance stability from 60°C heat to −30°C cold, with <2% performance fluctuation. Durability is reinforced through dual-needle edging and thermal reinforcement, achieving tuft withdrawal strength ≥35 N/tuft and Taber abrasion loss ≤2 mg (500 g × 500 cycles). After 50 assembly-removal cycles, appearance and performance degradation remains within ≤5%, outperforming the industry average of 10%. Its VRG recyclable backing uses a zero-glue design, preventing delamination or tearing during disassembly.
Practical Case Studies: Proven Efficiency Across Scenarios
1. Campus Multi-Sport Field – Jiangsu Province
Football-to-basketball conversion for 1,000 m² took 2.5 hours; basketball-to-badminton conversion took 1.5 hours. Basketball shock absorption measured 30.2%; badminton sliding coefficient was 0.50, meeting all sport standards. Feedback: “Fast conversion with consistent performance.”
2. Community Sports Park – Guangdong Province
VivaTurf’s mobile modules enabled rapid reconfiguration for football, dancing, and family activities. Two people removed 1,000 m² of turf with ease. Storage volume was only 1/5 of installed size. Feedback: “Extremely flexible, significantly boosts venue utilization.”
3. Major Stadium – Hangzhou International Venue
Drawing on Asian Games experience, the venue used VivaTurf for fast baseball-to-football transitions. The team completed conversion and calibration of 8,000 m² in 28 hours, setting a new efficiency benchmark for large-scale stadiums. Post-conversion performance met all event standards.
