Constructing a new football field at your ground
The popularity of the beautiful game cannot be overestimated. There are so many professional, semi-professional and amateur teams at each club and college that play at each level, league and in every cup. These teams need places to train and compete. However, for many clubs and colleges the intense maintenance required to natural fields that come with such extreme usages mean that artificial fields are a better option. That is where construction on an artificial football field comes into the fray.
But what are the steps you and the club need to take to construct a football field that is up to national and international standards? It boils down to four steps
- Tender,
- Installation,
- Certification,
- Maintenance
The construction of a football field
Tender
The first step in constructing your new football field is the tender stage. The foundation of the installation such as planning, budgeting and measuring to ensure you get the most suitable football field for your money and requirements. The end-result of the project and the cost and time constraints should be concrete at this stage. Especially budgeting is important here.
Then of course, the choice regarding which contractor should complete the project. Many of our projects speak for themselves, we deliver the best quality combined with optimal service. Moreover, our quality has been recognized by a host of international governing bodies for sports as well as our many innovations which contribute to sustainability. In addition, in the event you choose for Edel Grass, our specialists work closely with your club to advise on the points listed above as well as take many of the following tasks of your hands.
Installation
The second step in constructing a football field is… well… the construction. With Edel Grass as your contractor, this step is largely taken out of your hands. Our skilled field technicians will remove the previous field if necessary and follow up with installing the drainage system and foundation and laying the turf over the top.
Certification
Another aspect to the construction of a football field that is effectively automatic with Edel Grass, is the certification of the new field. We carry many different preferred provider approvals from many different governing bodies in the world of sports. Our accolades make it so that the entire certification process is more streamlined. This ensure that your artificial field is immediately playable.
Maintenance
Maintenance for your newly constructed football field is important! Taking good care of the field could see the surface being able to withstand up to ten years of intense usage. Replenishing infill, redistributing the crumbs, and clearing any foreign debris such as cigarette butts, glass or chewing gum immediately are great ways to ensure a long and healthy lifespan of the field.
In the event the field needs renovating, we’ve written a detailed page regarding the best practices for the renovation of a soccer field, but it translates well into renovating a football field.
