Industry leaders in the maintenance of synthetic playing surfaces and facilities have jointly developed the industry’s first dedicated online resource.
Visitors to the site will have access to world-leading information and advice on everything to do with the selection and construction of synthetic sports facilities, as well as how effective training and maintenance can ensure the longevity and cost-effectiveness of the facilities.
The website offers clear, easy-to-follow, no-nonsense information routes for everyone involved in the specification and maintenance of synthetic facilities – specifically Groundsmen, Bursars and Managers/Owners – alongside some practical video footage on:
• The selection of the ideal surface and facilities suited to specific needs and demands.
• Where to obtain industry-leading advice/consultancy.
• Alternatives in surface construction and lighting.
• How effective maintenance routines can ensure the quality, longevity and cost-effectiveness of synthetic facilities.
• Selecting the right maintenance equipment.
• Intuitive, informative and practical training, education and consultancy.
• In addition the site also provides information on the history of synthetic surfaces from the development of First to Third Generation; a glimpse of future developments; a Frequently Asked Questions section, and an insight to the companies and organisations that have contributed to the information resource.
The project has been jointly developed by Abacus Lighting, BLc Sports, FieldTurf Tarkett, the IOG, Redexim Charterhouse and Replay Maintenance.
