Building pitches with an artificial surface – a well-thought-out investment

The construction of football pitches with an artificial surface is often a well-thought-out investment for many reasons, which translate into both financial and practical benefits.

  1. Durability and Lower Maintenance Costs: An artificial surface is significantly more resistant to intensive use than natural grass. This means the pitch can be used more frequently without the risk of damaging the surface. Similarly, when it comes to maintenance costs, artificial turf is much cheaper to maintain because it does not require regular mowing, watering, fertilizing, or regeneration. For those who will be using the surface intensively, choosing this type of turf can be the right decision.
  2. Year-Round Availability: An artificial surface allows the pitch to be used throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions. This makes it an ideal solution in regions with challenging weather.
  3. Versatility: Such pitches can be used for various sports and recreational activities, making them a flexible solution for local communities, sports clubs, and schools.
  4. Safety and Modern Technology: Modern technologies used in the production of artificial grass provide good cushioning properties that reduce the risk of injury. The surfaces are designed to ensure proper water drainage, which minimizes the risk of puddles and slips.
  5. Aesthetics and Image: Artificial turf is available in various shades of green that maintain a fresh appearance for a long time, regardless of the season. Investing in such modern infrastructure can also improve the image and attractiveness of facilities like ‘Orlik’ community sports complexes (e.g., for schools or sports clubs).

Artificial sports surfaces

Artificial sports surfaces are a popular choice for many sports disciplines due to their durability, versatility, and usability regardless of weather conditions. Artificial grass is resistant to intensive use and is easy to maintain and clean. Such turf no longer limits play to just the spring and autumn months, as it is resistant to atmospheric factors. Artificial grass is used in the construction of many other types of sports fields, such as tennis courts or indoor sports halls.

Stages of building a football pitch with artificial grass

Below is a general outline of the construction work. Your final project may have several additional stages, depending on the investor’s needs and plans.

1. Formalities

This stage includes creating the pitch design and obtaining the necessary permits or preparing a notification. Due to frequently changing regulations in construction law, it is recommended to regularly monitor these changes. At this stage, the services of a surveyor are also required to mark the pitch’s location and prepare an as-built survey. Additionally, the designer, in collaboration with a geologist, should analyze the ground for its permeability and water drainage methods.

2. Earthworks

The next step is to begin construction work, which includes preparing the subgrade, defining and setting the curbs, and installing drainage.

3. Artificial Turf Installation

The artificial turf is installed directly on the sub-base. The placement of lines must be carefully planned, as it involves additional cutting of the turf. A large number of cuts can weaken the turf. Finally, the entire surface is infilled with the appropriate granulate.

4. Sports Equipment

Additional sports equipment includes items like goals or posts for volleyball nets.
