Achieving the Impossible: A Sports Flooring Case Study

When a prestigious Abu Dhabi-based client approached us for a sports flooring project, we were taken aback by their requirement. The project involved installing a mammoth 11,000 square feet of acrylic flooring – something that can take up to two months to complete - in a measly eight days. Some would say that taking up such a project is destined for failure, but we said, “Challenge accepted!”

In true Terrain style, we pulled up our socks, got down to work and completed the project on time, without compromising on quality.

So how did we achieve the impossible?

Planning
We know how important planning is for any successful project. The Terrain Floorings team conducted an extensive site survey to understand it thoroughly and formulate an execution plan. Before installation began, the site was also meticulously prepared. This pre-installation planning ensured that once the actual installation started, it proceeded smoothly without any major obstacles.

The Team
The project's success hinged almost entirely on the dedication and expertise of our team. Five Terrain Floorings core team members worked with over 55 support staff to ensure that everything proceeded smoothly and without delays. The five team leads brought their unique skills and leadership styles and were able to leverage their experience in leading the multifaceted team without any hiccups.

Supplier Support
One of the biggest potential bottlenecks for a project like this is the availability of a sufficient amount of high-quality raw materials. Over the years, Terrain has built a strong relationship with our suppliers, and we were able to leverage this to ensure that everything went smoothly and without delays.

Innovation
It was clear to us from the off that a project like this cannot be completed conventionally. The team brainstormed to devise innovative methods to speed up the installation process, and their quick thinking during tricky situations not only reduced installation time, but also ensured that the excellent quality for which Terrain Floorings is known was maintained.

Technology
By using state-of-the-art technology and equipment, we were able to streamline the entire installation process. This helped us get things done faster, while minimizing human error and ensuring quality.

Project Management
Managing a project of this scale and complexity is not easy, but our team did it with relative ease. Through precise scheduling and real-time monitoring of progress, the project was managed with a high level of coordination. The in-depth management process allowed for quick identification of issues and efficient resolution, preventing delays and ensuring on-time delivery.

The fact that Terrain Floorings was able to complete the installation of 11,000 sq.m. of sports flooring in just 8 days is a testament to our expertise, efficiency, and commitment to excellence. It is further proof of our ability to tackle large-scale projects with tight deadlines, and set new efficiency and innovation benchmarks in the flooring industry.

FAQs

Rubber flooring can be built of synthetic or natural materials, including recycled tyres. Because of its elasticity and bounce, it falls under the category of resilient flooring.

Our regular dimensions for the Eco tiles are 50x50 or 100x100. And the thickness starts from 15mm to 70mm. However, since we are manufacturers of these products, any customization can be possible.

We usually maintain stock for the regular items. However, on average we should take 7-10 days to produce 100 sqm of tiles. (For a specific enquiry, feel free to get in touch with us for the accurate lead time. It could be ready in stock or can take within 2-3 days to deliver.)

Terrain tiles: 1-2 days
Seamless flooring: 3-5 days

Color fading is a normal process due to exposure to UV radiation. However, for outdoor applications, we use a special material to limit the yellowing effect on the flooring and increase the longevity of the product.

An initial smell in the rubber products is normal. However, with enough ventilation post installation, the smell should go away. If it doesn’t, feel free to get back to us. We will work out a solution for you.
