ECO-Logic has supplied ‘Non Touch’ and ‘One Touch’ electronic sensor controls for all the toilets in the new Ascot Grandstand, including the Royal Box, which is due to open in time for the Queen’s visit to the Royal Ascot Meeting in June.

The company previously supplied state-of-the-art WC flush technology to the Royal Ascot Racing Club and on-course Storage Tank Water Monitoring Systems to reduce water wastage and the risk of Legionella.
Ascot Racecourse reopened on Saturday 27 May after a £200 million development. An invited crowd of 11,000, including many local residents, were present to see the new-look course first-hand.
BBC Racing Presenter Rishi Persad said that, ”The new Ascot Grandstand has set the benchmark for stadia around the world”, and former champion jockey Willie Carson proclaimed it to be, “One of the greatest Racecourses in the whole world, everything about the place is marvellous.”
