Life Floor gains growing recognition as preferred safety surface for splash pads and pool surrounds

Advertisement

Since being introduced to the Australian market in 2016, Life Floor has gained increasing recognition for its performance and a growing list of significant installations.

Designed specifically for wet areas including pool surrounds, waterparks, splash pads, change rooms and showers where people are barefoot, Life Floor offers industry-leading traction, comfort, durability and infinite design possibilities.

Made from cellular polyurethane, the Life Floor surface is soft without being rough and comes in different textures, thicknesses, and colour options.

Life Floor tiles repel water and other liquids making them nonabsorbent, antimicrobial, stainproof, and chemical resistant.

Moreover, its safety credentials are unmatched, as proven by Life Floor becoming the first aquatic safety surface in the world certified to the new NSF/ANSI-50 Standard for Safety Surfacing in Interactive Water Play Areas.

The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) is a global independent public health and environmental organisation, while the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) oversees the consensus for developing standards for manufacturing and procedures in the United States.

According to the USA’s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database, in 2014 alone, there were an estimated 20,000 injuries on pool decks, splash pads and water parks resulting in an emergency room visit.

Pioneering Electro Muscle Stimulation training technology now available in Australasia miha bodytec, the German-based leader in Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS) training, has announced Munich Sports Pty Ltd as the exclusive distributor of its award-winning products in Australia and New Zealand.

Originally developed to treat injuries during physical therapy, EMS training uses an electric current sent to muscles through wires to trigger involuntary muscles twitches.

Introduced in the USA in the middle of last year after years of research, testing and careful evaluation, Life Floor Content Manager, Suzanne Keller explains “the safety revolution that transformed dry playgrounds is long overdue for splash pads.

“With the new NSF/ANSI 50 standard in place, operators will be able to reduce injuries and keep splash pads open, providing fun for their communities all summer long.

“After nearly a decade of designing, testing, and building aquatic surfaces, we have been proud to contribute to the process of creating these new safety requirements.

“The surface is an indispensable part of the play value, and overall experience of the splash pad and that’s why we’re committed to designing the safest, most beautiful splash pad surfaces using only products engineered exclusively for aquatic play.”

In addition, Life Floor has also completed a landmark installation in the Splasher’s Kids Play Area within the Aquaventure waterpark at Atlantis The Palm, Dubai.

Life Floor was able to offer its durability in terms of UV stability, chemical resistance, and impermeability.

Oztix renews partnership with The Croxton Bandroom Oztix has announced the continuation of its foundation partnership with Melbourne music venue, The Croxton Bandroom, with the venue citing Oztix’s marketing and technology offerings, as well as its customer base, as reasons behind its decision to relaunch.

The old school pub-rock venue was renovated in 2015 by Simone Ubaldi and Andrew Parisi, in collaboration with the ALH Group, with Ubaldi advising “when we first launched in 2015 there were plenty of people in the industry who told us it wouldn’t work, but Oztix was one of our early champions and we have benefitted hugely from the partnership.”

Oztix Director and co-founder, Brian Chladil added “Oztix empowers our partners to grow with significant marketing support and powerful insights into customer data, and The Croxton is another top example of how we deliver on this. Technology is a big part of it, but just like Oztix, Simone and Andrew are fiercely independent operators who put their community of artists and patrons first.”

New Centaman Entrance Control gate takes customer payments A new security gate system capable of processing customer payments has the potential to revolutionise the way Australasian visitor attractions manage access to their facilities.

The International Swimming League (ISL) grand final at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Hotel in December took place in a pool featuring Myrtha Pools’ latest innovation - an acrylic wall.

With the inaugural ISL grand final featuring many of the world’s top swimmers, their achievements during competition were visible through the 21-metre acrylic wall.

Myrtha Pools’ acrylic wall featured at International Swimming League grand final

Centaman Entrance Control’s EasyGate SPA is a ‘pay to access’ speedgate, which enables businesses to charge an entrance fee to access their pay to use amenities, reducing staffing costs through automated payment.

Advising that the EasyGate SPA allows businesses to circumvent the ongoing costs that a point of sale system requires or complications with third party ticketing systems, Centaman Entrance Control General Manager, Michael Bystram stated “customers are given freedom of movement through the gates, paying by cash, debit card or credit card independent of any ticketing system. If preferred, access can also be allowed through pre-validated ticketing when combined with a third-party ticketing or membership system.

“Pay-to-use attractions such as museums, amusement parks and other public facilities are an ideal fit for the EasyGate SPA, where customers can access information online or by word of mouth, and do not necessarily require staff to discuss their entry into the service. Public toilets or showering blocks, where there are costs associated with maintaining cleanliness and range of service, are another great fit for the EasyGate SPA.”

A significant feature of the EasyGate SPA is the option for lane widths that are wider than other traditional tripod turnstiles, which allow for wheelchair access. This made it compliant with the Australian Disability Discrimination Act - a distinction Bystram said few other competitors could claim.

The pools were installed by Myrtha certified installation teams along with local contracting and union support using Myrtha’s unique technology.

With Myrtha’s factory technicians collaborating to complete the build of the pools in just 10 days, the installation team worked in two shifts to enhance productivity, with a flexibility to best coordinate with all other parties involved to enhance the production of other aspects of the event.

The pool was built in the arena space at the Mandala Bay, where the hotel usually hosts boxing bouts and other grand events.

BECSys Pool Controllers lead the way in

Energy Saving and Communications Technology Installed at aquatic centres across Australia - including the Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre, Gold Coast Aquatic Centre and Cairn’s Tobruk War Memorial Aquatic Centre - BECSys5 and Sys7 controllers provide a range of energy saving features.

They can be set up to control ‘UV System turndown’ to low output and can reduce plant flow (via an installed Variable Speed Drive or VSD) at times of optimum water quality and light bather loadings.

UV Turndown is set up by adding a Total Chlorine probe and flowcell to the controller sample line, so that the controller gives a Combined Chlorine display and a UV turndown setpoint (for example, 0.2mg/L combined chlorine) is used to reduce UV power consumption and extend lamplife at times of the highest water quality

Reduced plant flow and energy consumption can be achieved in the same way, or on a timer basis (such as at night) it could be reduced or turned off, via the addition of a VSD to the recirculation pump(s). Importantly a special refresh program increases flow temporarily during the night to recirculate chemicals at intervals, then efficiently reduces flow again.

BECSys controllers also offer state-of-the-art remote communications with the revolutionary ‘EZConnect’ system enabling simple connection from your phone to monitor the controller readings from anywhere.

When in the office ‘BECSys for Windows’ PC software enables remote monitoring and full remote control functionality to the operator. Building management computer style graphing and analysis software, included with the controllers, automatically downloads history from the controller datalogging. It then plots the readings graphically - a record that continuously grows on the hard drive for future reference and scrutiny as required.

An invaluable benefit of the history logs is the addition of event logs showing chemical feeder and pool plant activity which enables accurate fine tuning of dosing rates to optimise control behaviour. This benefits bathers with the highest water quality and leads to ever more economical operations.

Vertikal Design creates Queensland’s largest green wall Queensland’s largest green wall has recently been unveiled as part of a $100 million-plus glass-fronted building at Brisbane’s Breakfast Creek Lifestyle Precinct.

A key feature of a luxury Mercedes-Benz dealership - the auto manufacturer’s largest development of its kind in the southern hemisphere - the green wall acts as a virtual ‘lung’, consisting of over 340 metres² of internal planting covering a total height of 15 metres and more than 23 metres in length.

With over 27 different species of plants, the palette includes the top six species that have been scientifically proven to reduce the largest number of VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) found present in the air.

Irrigation for the plants is harvested from rainwater tanks on the roof of the building and in an Australian-first on a project of this scale, LED Grow lighting supports the growth of the plants where there may be a variance in light levels internally.

The green wall was created by the Sydney-based Vertikal Design in collaboration with LSH Property Australia, Cottee Parker Architects and John Holland Group.

Green walls - also referred to as a living wall or vertical garden - are a wall partially or completely covered with greenery that includes a growing medium, such as soil, water or a substrate. Most green walls include an integrated water delivery system.

APT Asia Pacific offers green surfacing solution at Tokyo 2020 Olympics This year’s Tokyo Games will be the fifth Olympics where a Poligras hockey surface is to be used for hockey events.

Developed by APT (Advanced Polymer Technology), the company feels that the new Poligras® Tokyo GT® product is one of the “most sustainable and technologically advanced surfaces” it has developed.

Developed in conjunction with Polytan Asia Pacific and FIH (International Hockey Federation) to align with Tokyo 2020’s progressive sustainability policies, Poligras Tokyo GT is a world first synthetic hockey turf which features filaments made from over 60% regrowable raw materials, specifically sugar cane.

Using BioBased PE, a sustainable dimension has now been added to the outstanding playing properties of the tried-andtested polyethylene monofilament fibres.

Other sustainable features include a shock pad that sits underneath the surface which uses fully recycled rubber and a binder that has been produced with CO2. This world-first component called cardyon® - a polyol containing CO2, reduces the amount of crude oil required in the binder by 20%, and is a huge advancement in making the chemical and plastics manufacturing industries greener.

Aside from Green Technology used to develop Poligras Tokyo GT, it also offers first-class playability and performance for hockey players, and has been tested and certified by FIH. By incorporating APT’s proprietary COOLplus® yarn technology, which reflects infrared rays, studies have shown that the surface temperatures are consistently 10-20% lower than competitive systems. This means better player comfort and a reduced need for irrigation. Ball speeds have also increased by 15% on the new Poligras Tokyo GT hockey surface compared with Poligras Platinum which was used at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.

Redeveloped Ashfield Aquatic Centre to feature Australian-first movable floor Currently undergoing a $44.7 million redevelopment, the Ashfield Aquatic Centre in inner western Sydney is to feature what Inner West Council calls a “a world class movable floor” for its new outdoor pool.

The Australian-first installation of the Akvo Spiralift from S.R.Smith will see the new pool able to offer multiple programming for uses including swimming lessons, water polo matches and aquafitness classes, with the floor able to be raised and lowered on demand.

While initial plans put forward for the Ashfield Aquatic Centre did not include a movable floor for the outdoor pool, the versatility of the Akvo Spiralift installation will see its easy addition to the new pool.

Akvo systems are installed and movable without water, simplifying their testing and commissioning into construction projects and making it easy to coordinate work. Advance touch screens, safety features and serviceability make it an outstanding option in the market.

On a day-to-day basis, the system’s operation is managed from a secure touch panel, with the ability to preset the most frequently used configurations.

The moveable floor solution is made of semi flexible bands that become locked and rigid 316L stainless steel columns. It becomes self-supporting floor driven by two small motors in the dry room under the concourse. The Akvo Spiralift is a subsidiary to GalaSystems, which has been trusted in the scenic, aerospace and automotive industries for over 25 years.

Synthetic Grass and Rubber Surfaces launches scheme to recycle old playground rubber surfaces Based on a belief that suppliers and users need to establish a way to recycle and reuse rubber wet pour from old playgrounds, NSW-based Synthetic Grass and Rubber Surfaces has launched a scheme to recycle old playground rubber surfaces.

Synthetic Grass and Rubber Surfaces Director, Mark Cunningham advises “we have established a way to reduce waste by using old rubber from playgrounds, putting it back through machinery and then using the granulated rubber again in a new playground as base rubber.

“This eliminates thousands of tons of waste going into landfill.”

Advising that “we are constantly looking at ways to reduce waste … and this scheme doesn’t only reduce the waste but saves thousands of tons of waste going into landfill.”

The scheme sees Synthetic Grass and Rubber Surfaces pull up old rubber wet pour and brought back to the company’s Terrey Hills plant where it is processed by advanced machinery which granulates it so it can be used again in a new playground as base course rubber.
