Flexicomb, brushing in two directions on a weekly basis, along with blowing and cleaning up any surface debris and litter. Once a month Technical Surfaces come in and rotary vacuum clean the surface of the carpet and remove the smaller surface debris. A similar regime, using the SISIS zigzag brush, is also carried out on the other 3G artificial pitch which is a Megagrass 20/35 carpet. Touchlines, goal lines and halfway line for football are sewn into the carpet but remaining football and hockey markings are painted in to reduce the number of seams and, therefore, potential failures. Mark has purchased a Beamrider laser guided spray jet marker and uses STC paint for the lines. The paint tends to last between 10-12 weeks depending on weather conditions. Again, these pitches are maintained on a weekly basis with regular brushing, plus monthly rotary

vacuum cleaning by Technical Surfaces. The university also has a Heydour water based artificial pitch specifically for hockey. This 10mm pile carpet water system is currently being used by the national hockey teams for practices and matches. This system requires watering prior to any play to reduce friction burns and traction. The irrigation system delivers 18,000 litres of water to the pitch in seven minutes using Rainbird guns and pop up sprinklers. During the summer there may be a need to water these facilities six or seven times a day, costing about £25 on each occasion. Again the lines are painted on the playing surface using the spray jet markers and Fleet’s STC formulated paint for artificial surfaces. With so much water going through the carpet it is not surprising that there is often a build up of algae, especially in any low spots where water tends to lie.
