Any playing surface which contains an infill will, at some stage, suffer from migration

maximum life of your Synthetic Surface, call


08 702 400 700 Leaf/Litter Collection:


Leaves and litter should be removed from the playing surface on a regular basis - ideally daily. If left on the surface, leaves will decay, causing staining and will decompose into the carpet to interfere with the draining characteristics of the facility. To avoid any unnecessary littering on and around the facility, it is also recommended that sufficient bins are provided and emptied on a regular basis.


Signage:


Appropriate signs should be erected advising users of the basic rules that need to be observed to ensure everyone can enjoy the facility in a safe environment.


Line Marking:


Regular checks should be made to ensure the visibility of all of the painted play lines. Facilities carrying out weekly re- marks using water based paints should instead consider the use of two-part sports compounds


specifically formulated for the sports environment.


Vegetation Growth:


The formation of moss, algae and weed growth is


especially prevalent in water-based surfaces. Facilities should be especially vigilant in areas that receive little or no sunlight due to kickboards, overhanging trees or similar. Appropriate chemical treatments must be applied to the affected area wherever necessary. Once killed (darkened) the treated areas should be then brushed or spaded to remove the dead flora whilst taking care not to redistribute the spores to new areas. Water-based surfaces are likely to require a full specialist wash at least every 12 months.


Power Sweeping:


As well as regular drag brushing and litter picking, the surface will benefit from a process called Power Sweeping which was developed by Technical Surfaces. This process lifts, cleans and re-grades the top few millimetres of infill in the part filled surfaces and extracts the debris and contamination from within the pile in water-based surfaces. Frequency should be determined by the other maintenance works being carried out as well as the age and condition of the carpet.
