Project Overview

Christ Deemed to be University’s Kengeri Campus in Bangalore now runs one of the few multi-sport facilities in the city built around four internationally certified surfaces. Gallant Sports & Infra Ltd delivered the project as a single turnkey commission, bringing a FIFA Quality football field, an IAAF Class 2 athletic track, a PU basketball court, and an artificial turf volleyball court together on one campus, completed within 90 days.

The surfaces delivered were:

• FIFA Quality certified artificial football turf
• IAAF (World Athletics) Class 2 Full PU synthetic athletic track
• PU floored basketball court
• Artificial turf volleyball court

Project Objectives

Christ University’s brief centered on building genuine multi-sport capability without sacrificing certification on any single surface:

• Install a FIFA Quality certified football turf suitable for competitive play and structured training.
• Build an IAAF Class 2 synthetic athletic track meeting World Athletics specification.
• Add a PU basketball court and an artificial turf volleyball court to round out the campus’s sporting offering.
• Deliver all four surfaces under one contract and one 90-day timeline.
• Give students access to certified, professional-grade surfaces across four disciplines on a single campus.

Scope of Work

The project was executed on a full turnkey basis at the Kengeri Campus:

• Technical planning and site assessment across four distinct sporting surfaces.
• Installation of CCGrass Libra 60mm FIFA Quality certified football turf, tufted markings, non-China origin, certified by an accredited FIFA laboratory.
• Full PU synthetic athletic track installation, minimum 13mm thickness with an EPDM granule top layer, certified by an IAAF-approved laboratory.
• PU floored basketball court with engineered base, FIBA-standard line marking, and fixed pole installation.
• CCGrass 40mm single colour artificial turf volleyball court, with engineered base, net post installation, and FIVB line marking.
• Crushed aggregate base construction for the football field and asphalt base construction for the athletic track.
• Full perimeter RCC drain system across the site.

Key Characteristics and Technical Specifications

• Surfaces delivered: FIFA Quality football turf, Full PU athletic track, PU basketball court, artificial turf volleyball court.
• Certifications met: FIFA Quality Standard, IAAF Class 2 (World Athletics).
• Full international standard dimensions on each surface.
• 8-year warranty on the football turf and athletic track.
• Completion timeline of 90 days across all four surfaces.

Getting a FIFA-certified football turf and an IAAF-certified athletic track built alongside two additional courts, all inside 90 days, meant running several installation streams at once rather than one after another.

• Full perimeter RCC drain system serving the entire site.

Execution Methodology

Delivering four certified surfaces on one campus in 90 days required close sequencing across trades:

• Site assessment and layout planning across all four surfaces.
• Base construction, run in parallel with a crushed aggregate base for the football field and an asphalt base for the track.
• Perimeter drainage works completed alongside base construction.
• Football turf installation and tufted line marking.
• Athletic track installation with EPDM top layer and IAAF-standard line marking.
• Basketball court flooring, pole fixing, and line marking.
• Volleyball court turf installation and net post fitting.
• Testing and certification review for the football turf and athletic track before handover.

Timeline and Project Delivery

The complete four-surface scope, from base works to certified handover, was delivered in 90 days under a single turnkey contract. That included FIFA and IAAF laboratory certification for the football turf and athletic track alongside standard installation of the basketball and volleyball courts.

Benefits for Players and the Community

For Players

• Competition-grade FIFA and IAAF certified surfaces, giving students internationally consistent playing and training conditions.
• Year-round access to four sporting disciplines without leaving campus.
• Certified surfaces across football and athletics reduce injury risk during daily training.

For the Community

• Kengeri Campus becomes one of very few facilities in Bangalore with a FIFA certified football field and an IAAF certified athletic track in the same complex, alongside dedicated basketball and volleyball courts.
• A platform for structured coaching, talent identification, and student athlete development across four sports.
• A venue capable of supporting inter-university competitions and athletics meets.

Strategic Significance

• Demonstrates Gallant Sports’ capability to deliver multi-certification projects, FIFA, IAAF, FIBA, and FIVB, under a single 90-day contract.
• Reinforces verified product origin and governing body compliance as a standard part of Gallant Sports’ delivery process.
• Strengthens Gallant Sports’ position as a preferred infrastructure partner for premier academic institutions across India.
• Sets a reference point for how quickly a multi-sport, multi-certification campus can be built without cutting corners on standards.

What Makes This Project Different

Four disciplines. Two governing body certifications. One 90-100 day contract. Most campuses build a football field and an athletic track as separate projects, often years apart. Christ University got both, plus a basketball court and a volleyball court, delivered by one team on one timeline.

Conclusion

The Christ Deemed to be University Kengeri Campus project reflects the execution discipline that defines Gallant Sports & Infra Ltd’s work across India. Four certified surfaces, two governing body standards, and a 90-day contract came together to give the university a genuinely multi-sport facility, built without compromise on certification, timeline, or quality.
