Inaugurarea hipodromului Ploiesti
Inauguration of the Ploiesti Hippodrome. The Sion Solution team was invited to the inauguration of the Ploiesti Hippodrome. All the photo-finish systems, the table, the access control systems, burglary, video, the parking and ticketing system, the voice-data and sound system were designed and installed entirely by the engineers, respectively the Sion Solution technicians.
We are proud that we have successfully completed this project.
Congratulations to the project manager, Radu Ciobanu, and to the entire team for their hard work and professionalism.
The trap racetrack in Ploieşti hosted the first races in 1961, after the demolition of the racetrack in Bucharest, which took place in 1960. Initially, the main building, the stands and the referees’ tower were on the opposite side of the current construction. According to the chronicles of the time, the spectator record was recorded at the Trap Derby in 1970, won by the stallion Talion, led by Gică Tanase. About 11,000 people attended then.
In 1983, a new main grandstand was used, changing both the starting place and the arrival. In 2005, the racecourse was granted to Ippodromi & Citta, which did not comply with the contract concluded with the City Hall of Ploieşti.
The litigation was resolved in favor of the municipality. After a four-year break in 2010, the race courses on the racecourse resumed.
In 2014, at Ploieşti Hippodrome, extensive modernization and extension works were started, which were completed in October 2016.
The new construction has two tracks, one for trap and one for galloping, as well as a treadmill for the referee’s car, ambulance and other services. The racecourse has 7 stables, each with 27 speakers, salivarium with 19 speakers and a veterinary office. The new grandstand is composed of two distinct bodies.
The racecourse is also provided with prefabricated sulky storage and storage facilities, material maintenance and storage hangar, fodder hangar and temporary storage of waste and sewage space.
The first official trap meeting on the new Hippodrome took place on Saturday, April 15, 2017.
Sion Solution has designed and installed all integrated security systems.
