Ultimately, over a 6 months period only, we supplied and installed nearly 20,000 linear feet of rails and barriers. Above all, it created the safety foundations of a world-class facility to become.  

Undoubtedly, the ease of installation of our materials was a key success factor to deliver high performance fencing systems in a short period of time. Most importantly, our PVC rails, flat-mesh Crowd Barriers and arena Posts and Rails are specifically developed for horse racing and equestrian disciplines. Thus, safety is never compromised while durability is guaranteed. 

As far as the turf course inner rails, it was set up with our movable galvanized steel spike. And, it was paired with PVC ground inserts to be easily moved from training to racing position and vice-versa. 

Although multiple challenges due to the tight schedule and inclement weather, we put our forces together from early stage engineering to final adjustments of the installation. In fact, it was a true turn-key project which was supervised, from start to finish, by our project manager. Last but not least, the project stayed on time and budget.
