Sports Safety Padding – Aviva Stadium.

Aviva Stadium (formerly Lansdowne Road) re-opened on the 14th May 2010 and seat 50,000 spectators. It’s home to the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU).

Sports Safety Padding Installation.

We were asked early in 2011 to provide & install sports safety padding for the practice pitch at the Aviva Stadium. The padding will protect players from injury which may occur from the barriers. We supplied over 150 meters of sports safety padding, finished in an easily cleaned ‘dark green’ vinyl. We project managed all works relating to this sports safety padding, under a tight time schedule and on budget.

Fitness Functions produce standard & bespoke safety padding:

We provide sports safety padding for Irish schools and sports clubs in various circumstances and applications such as:

• Sports post padding – Basketball, rugby/goal posts & wall padding.
