Installation of Artificial turf
The GreenFields CI&M (Construction Installation and Maintenance) department is involved in in every aspect of the construction of sub-bases for artificial turf fields from the design phase to construction to inspection. The department even manages development, advising and inspection. Before any project is initiated, our experienced technical staff and civil engineers perform an onsite pre-inspection. The purpose of this is to gather all relevant data on the unique features and challenges project. The pre-inspection looks at a host of factors including (but not limited to) climatic data, height levels, dimensions, soil description, and drainage.
We do this as a preventive measure. It allows us to identify installation problems before they occur and increases our level of control over the construction of structures and installation of our synthetic turf product.
It also helps us guarantee consistent quality standards and develop an appropriate, professional maintenance program for each individual installation. Every installation performed by GreenFields is planned by our expert technical design team. Working with the most up-to-date CAD / CAM technologies, they help to ensure the precision installations of sub-base, drainage systems and turf. Working closely with local installation teams are civil engineers. Their job is to ensure that each and every GreenFields playing surface meets or exceeds the exacting standards set forth by FIFA whenever required.
The team at GreenFields also develops and implements an appropriate professional maintenance and cleaning program for every artificial turf installation. We can schedule this as either a once-off or on an ongoing contractual basis.
Artificial Turf Installation
The quality of a GreenFields artificial turf sports field system is not determined by just the quality of the playing surface, but by the sum total of components that go into its construction. The requirements of civil engineering during the construction phase are key to the quality and success of the end product. Our extensive, global network of partners can offer assistance and advice in sub-base construction and, when required, the installation of pre-fabricated, custom built shock pads (a FIFA standard).
Effective release of water from the surface of the playing field requires a good vertical and horizontal drainage system. This needs to be professionally built in order to ensure that the playing surface is up to standard. Through these same partners, GreenFields advises on and offers comprehensive maintenance schedules that are vital to the long term playability of the synthetic turf. Certain maintenance measures are also required under the terms and conditions of your warranty with GreenFields.
The result
The end result of a field designed and built by GreenFields is one that will ultimately require a minimum of maintenance and provide a durable, world-class surface for years to come. One important aspect of the advancement of soccer is having adequate playing fields that can be used for gameplay throughout the entire year. Talented players of any age need a place they can consistently turn to for improving their skills and actualizing their dreams of becoming tomorrow’s legends.
