RENOVATION...

If a playing surface has not received proper maintenance over a period of time or if it has received heavy usage during inappropriate conditions, the surface characteristics can quickly deteriorate. Tony Patterson Sportsgrounds has over £1,000,000 worth of specialist machinery which can be used to renovate existing surfaces to bring them up to the desirable standard. All our specialist equipment is low ground bearing pressure to prevent any damage to the existing surfaces.


Good drainage is essential for good sports turf. There are few sites where natural drainage suffices: supplementary drainage needs to be undertaken in those cases where the ground becomes waterlogged on occasions, or water may become perched on the surface, leading to postponed matches.

Renovation

Primary drainage

(for pitches which have never been properly drained)

This is normally a drainage network using 80mm to 150mm diameter drainage pipes in trenches. These drains can be placed through established surfaces with minimal disruption dramatically reducing the down time of the pitch.

This system can be installed in a number of ways:

Excavator installation.
This uses an appropriate 360 machine to keep damage to a minimum on an established pitch.

 #

Whizz wheel installation.
This uses a tractor mounted machine which even further reduces damage to an established pitch.
