LUTHVAR · COMPLETE SPORTS GROUNDS & VENUES

Build the whole sporting place, not a list of equipment.

One coordinated supply pathway around the field of play: surface, sports equipment, lighting, spectators, technology, buildings, training, public realm and operations.

THE COMMERCIAL MODEL

A coordinated package without pretending one factory makes everything.

Sport-led

Start with the sport, level of play, users and venue operation before choosing products.

Multi-system

Bring the playing area, spectators, buildings, technology and training together in one scope.

Evidence-controlled

Certification and technical claims stay tied to the exact product, installation and project requirement.

Supply-only

Apollo coordinates project supply and technical product information; local works and approvals are defined separately.

LUTHVAR COMPLETE · VENUE SELECTOR

Choose a sensible starting package.

This is a planning tool only. It does not determine compliance, certification, engineering or final scope.

Recommended starting pathway

Club Ground

A competition-ready club pathway connecting the field of play with players, spectators, technology and operations.

STANDARD PACKAGE PATHWAYS

Four starting levels. The final venue remains project-specific.

These are commercial configuration pathways, not fixed stadium kits. They help buyers define the level of infrastructure before the detailed system schedule is built.

THE LUTHVAR VENUE SYSTEM STACK

Fourteen layers around the complete venue.

Use only the layers the project needs. Each layer can stand alone, but the value comes from coordinating interfaces before manufacturing and shipping are locked.

SPORT-SPECIFIC PATHWAYS

The complete-venue model changes with the sport.

A football ground, hockey facility, athletics venue and multi-sport hall do not share one universal technical specification. LUTHVAR keeps the common project structure while changing the sport-specific evidence and equipment layers.

Complete Field Sports

Football, rugby, hockey, lacrosse, baseball/softball and shared-use fields coordinated through one complete field-sport architecture.

EVIDENCE & RESPONSIBILITY

Package coordination does not replace sport-specific certification or local engineering.

  • Certification is tied to the exact sport, product, installation and competition level — not to the LUTHVAR package name.
  • Playing-surface, lighting and field certifications are confirmed against the actual governing-body pathway required for the project.
  • Structural, civil, electrical, fire, accessibility and local-consent responsibilities remain project-specific and must be coordinated with the appointed local professionals.
  • Apollo supplies coordinated systems and technical product information; local site works and installation responsibilities are defined separately in the project scope.

CURRENT STANDARDS PATHWAYS

Build the evidence route at the beginning.

Football

FIFA Quality Programme pathways distinguish product testing and final installed-field testing for football turf. Floodlight certification also depends on the installed system and on-site testing.

Rugby

Artificial surfaces for competitive contact rugby require the appropriate World Rugby Regulation 22 pathway.

Hockey

FIH field certification checks the installed field, approved turf, dimensions, markings, slope and drainage against the relevant quality programme.

Athletics

World Athletics maintains certification systems for facilities, track surfacing products and competition equipment.

Indoor Halls

Hall size, run-offs, height, flooring, lighting, acoustics and storage must be coordinated around the intended sports and competition level.

LUTHVAR COMPLETE

Start with the venue brief. Then build the system schedule.

Define the sport, location, competition level, users, capacity, playing surface, spectator requirement, buildings and technology. Apollo can then map the supply package and identify what evidence is still needed.
