Letzigrund Stadium, Zurich, Switzerland
Sports flooring for top performance
Not only the right training or weather conditions can play a decisive role in an athlete’s beating a world record – the flooring can, too. For increased speed, it has to be hard; to be easier on the joints, it has to be soft. Our solution is the CONIPUR M synthetic flooring system. The Zurich Letzigrund Stadium was equipped wit it in September 2007, after only eight weeks of preparation and installation.

Made for records
The Conipur M synthetic flooring system is IAAF (International Association of Athletics Federations) certified for high-performance sports competitions – the precondition for the recognition of world records. The flexible coating enables maximum speeds, while at the same time being easy on the athletes’ joints. Easy installation is another benefit that saves time and money.
Air-pockets prevent injuries
The first two layers of Conipur M consist of a liquid polyurethane coating sprinkled with a special kind of rubber granules. Tiny air-pockets inside the coating and the granules make sure the stress on the athletes’ joints is reduced. The upper layer, which is harder but flexible, returns most of the energy transferred to the flooring back to the athlete. By means of the step-by-step liquid application of the flooring, the Conica team was able to check the running-track’s properties continually during installation.
