Sports Surface Maintenance
Maintenance is a very important aspect of our service. It is a fact that poor sports surface maintenance reduces the lifespan of synthetic turf more than any other factor. Even an under-used facility will prematurely age if it is not regularly and properly maintained.
A good maintenance regime can provide maximum performance and foreseeable problems like moss and algae build up can be avoided.
HB Sports Surfaces can offer full maintenance packages; we are experts with a proven track record of artificial sports turf maintenance and we believe it to be a very important aspect of our service. Poor maintenance will lead to premature ageing and the lifespan of synthetic turf will be drastically reduced.
Services such as: regular brushing, power sweeping, deep cleaning, detritus/dirt removal, infill replacement and refurbishment can help to ensure your sports facility stays on top form. HB Sports maintenance, experts with a proven track record.
Our maintenance programmes are tailored to our clients needs and covers:
Deep Clean
Our powerful deep cleaning service revitalises your synthetic sports surface ensuring you continue to get the best performance out of your surface.
In Fill Top Ups
It is essential to keep the infill levels topped up to prevent this, as the insufficient infill will not protect or support the yarn pile satisfactorily. If an infill procedure is not carried out correctly, it could lead to more costly maintenance costs in the future.
In Fill Replacement
Over a long period, a sand or rubber infill system may become too contaminated or too compacted for a corrective maintenance procedure to be fully effective. If this is the case, the synthetic sports surface will require an infill replacement.
Decompaction
3G sports surfaces have a rubber crumb in-fill; this can become compacted over time, leaving the top of the yarn unsupported. Decompaction would help to release compacted rubber.
Line Marking
We recommend that line markings are renewed twice a year on sand-filled and sand-dressed sports surfaces.
Surface Repairs
High wear areas of artificial sports surfaces often require attention, areas around goals, penalty spots etc. can become badly affected and need repair.
Drag Brushing
Regular drag brushing is an essential part of a maintenance programme to ensuring the infill is distributed evenly and to reduce surface compaction.
Power Brushing
Regular Power Brushing of artificial sports grass helps to bed the sand into the fibres, moving the sand around also reduces moss and debris build-up within the fibres.
Moss and Algae Control
Moss, Algae and weed growth is also prevented by the appliance of chemicals. These Chemicals require time to penetrate the surface in order to help detritus removal.
