"Layering of the soil profile at the SFS had occurred following resurfacing that was required to fit within criteria of FIFA to hold Olympic Soccer competition. This result in layering of the soil profile, which limited root penetration and surface stability for the coming NRL competition. It was decided to use the Koro Recycling Top-dresser to improve the root penetration, water infiltration and intermix the two sand layers that had developed."
# Close inspection of the profile 1, 2, & 3 weeks after the Koro Recycling Dresser had been over the field the following observations:-
# Root penetration length and penetration had increased significantly due to the avenues made through the slicing action of the machine.
# Water infiltration has also improved, following irrigation and rain events surface ponding had been reduced significantly.
# The recycling effect of the existing profile soil obviously improved surface levels.
# Root mass branching had improved in approximately 3 weeks."
