Currently we are preferring for installation the artificial grass with a feature called memory effect, granted by the yarn shape in the letter V, products like the V-Shape, or the V-Slide. The advantage of the shaped yarns is that after bending due to then unique profile they return back to upright positions.

This year we will all be able to enjoy the unique new yarn called the TriMension. It is a mix of three different yarn shapes V-Slide, Slide Pro, and the TriMension. The biggest advantage is the possibility for the players that they can easily get than feet under the ball and therefore this product is again closer to the playing characteristics as on the natural turfs. We infill the pitches with sand and technical rubber granules.

GreenFields closely cooperates in projects constructed directly under the supervision of FIFA. And is one of the few companies included in the FIFA PREFERRED PRODUCER. Each member of this group has to fulfill the most strict duality requirements for the production, delivery, installation, and maintenance of the synthetic turf pitches. Also these members carry responsibility for the duality of sub-base construction, which actually means being responsible for the complete project.

De compacting Equipment - The complete surface is loosened with the de compacting equipment. So the surface is now softer and the compacted rubber granules are loose. Therefore we can achieve better cleaning of the rubber granules and the softness of the playing field, shock absorbing characteristics are also improved. So is the ball bounce.
Time needed: 1 - 2 hours
|
 |
Rotational sweeping brush - Clearing of the pitch with the rotational sweeping brush helps to clean away biological and organically dirt. During this process with also collect from the pitch mechanical dirt like stones, leaves, pines etc. Dirt is caught in a system of vibrating screens where it is separated from clean infill which is returned back on the pitch. Simultaneously the suction turbine picks up dust and deposits it in a large collection tank behind the driver. Screens and filters are cleaned on regular basis cleaning depth is 10mm.
Time needed: 2 x 1,5 - 2,5 hours
|
 |
Diagonal brush with suction - By brushing the pitch with the diagonal brush we achieve straightening out the pile and evening the surface as well as clearing at the same time. So we improve playability of the pitch and also the conditions of ball roll and ball bounce.
Time needed: 2 x 45 min.
|
|
 |
 |
Rotational brush - During autumn or on a heavily soiled pitch before starting regular maintenance we clean the pitch from heavy soiling with a rotational brush. The working height of the brush is adjusted to be just on top of the surface so that the infill stays in the pitch.
Time needed: 2 hours
|
 |
Spreading unit - For pitches where the infill is missing a spreading unit is used to add missing infill across the whole pitch. After that the pitch has to be evened out with the rotational brush.
Time needed: 2 hours
|
 |
Snow plough - During the winter months snow has to be cleaned away from the pitch. The working height has to be just above the pile. Then it can it be decompacted and brushed. If the rubber granules are wet brushing with suction can not be done.
|
|
Lines and joints check - During every visit the technician will check all lines and joints including penalty spots on the whole pitch. A protocol of inspection will be handed over to local start.
