 MADRID/ALTDORF – Club de Campo Villa de Madrid is smartening up for the forthcoming FEI European Jumping Championship: Just in time before the beginning of the competitions the renowned facility located in the capital city of Spain is getting a facelift, expressed by an overhauled footing on an area of 20,000 square metres. Specifically for this major sporting event in September the lawn competition arena is being upgraded as well and will receive a temporary all-weather arena system, consisting of a premier sand-geotextile-footing.
The current footing on the training arenas had been installed in 2002 by the professionals of the German company Otto Sport- und Reitplatz GmbH and has withstood the daily operation for nine years now. In the meantime, approx. 300 horses regularly bustle in the prestigious Spanish club. A large part of the footing on the warm-up areas has already been exchanged. Currently the Bavarian surface specialists are busy installing the competition area measuring approx. 8,650 square metres. For this purpose, a layer of mats is set to ensure both concussion relief and non-slip properties for horses and the required drainage. Finally, the work is completed by a specially blended footing, consisting of high-quality silica sand and a mixture of geotextiles and synthetic fibres.
