On Saturday 19 January, Jean Gachassin, President of the French Tennis Federation, inaugurated Istres René Davini sports complex, designed and built by SMC2. On 3.000 square metres it features four indoor clay tennis courts, several squash courts and a club house.
This sports complex has two features: The first one is the use of synthetic clay: CONIPUR PRO CLAY. This surface consists of a base layer, which is associated with a final layer of pounded brick. According to information from SMC2, the court does not need watering, does not generate dust, which facilitates the maintenance of this confined area. In addition, the courts are covered with a translucent fabric membrane roof, providing optimal brightness during the day with no need for additional lighting.
The presence of all elected officials concerned, along with Jean Gachassin, attests to the importance of the completion of this unique structure in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’azur region. In his inaugural address, René Raimondi, president of the Ouest Provence conurbation syndicate, the main source of funding for the project, extolled the merits of the infrastructure of SMC2: "This is a high-quality infrastructure, a magnificent complex which will now allow Istres to nurture future talent.” (Stadionwelt, 08.02.2013)
