FC Nordsjaelland Stadium | Denmark

FC Nordsjaelland is the first in Denmark to convert their stadium pitch into a synthetic turf. The club is renowned for its excellent youth development academy that requires a high amount of training sessions and fixtures in the stadium. The total usage of the stadium pitch exceeds 2.000 hours per season and hence natural grass or hybrid grass is not an option. In 2019 the pitch surface was renovated and SPS introduced an innovative heating system. The most energy efficient way of heating in the city of Farum is to make use of the return water from the district heating system. Since this is a water based heating system we had to combine water heating pipes embedded in a special designed shock-pad. The pitch heating is divided in 3 sections whereby the heat demand can be altered per section to ensure shaded areas can be defrosted after a night frost.
