subject: Synthetic Surfaces for Sport [print this page] Thesynthetic surface, artificial surfaceorastro turf will maintain even levels and resist movement in the playing surface. The surface will provide the ideal playing characteristics under a very wide range of temperature and humidity conditions.
The method of construction can be either an engineered tarmac or a dynamic sub base of clean graded stone, this is additionally supported by strong geotextile separators thus preventing the infiltration of fines into the sub-base which can lead to the distortion of the level profile.
A suitable sports carpet is laid on top of the shock pad and drainage layer (a 3-dimensional core bonded between two non-woven geotextives). Site conditions will always determine the appropriate materials to be used in each project.
Synthetic multi-sport surfaces are individually designed and constructed to emulate as near as possible a good natural turf surface whilst meeting the high standards demanded for safe and successful sport in the 21st century.
