Key scope of maintenance works required for long pile (3G) artificial turf pitch

Jan 2017

 

Over the past 10 years an increasing number of artificial turf pitches have been installed in Hong Kong – they are an excellent option given our climate and high usage demands, and also provide a high return on investment.  However, although looking after artificial pitches is far easier than trying to maintain a natural turf surface, it is important to remember that 3G pitches are NOT “maintenance free” – it is in fact essential to regularly carry out a proper quality maintenance schedule by skilled individuals with the right equipment in order to provide a top quality safe and hygienic surface for all players to enjoy.

 

The Hong Kong Rugby Union has been installing and utilising artificial turf pitch since 2003, and we have learnt that good maintenance practice will allow you to maximise the pitch’s life expectancy with its designed performance standards as measured by World Rugby and FIFA certification, while poor practice leads to rapid deterioration and potentially dangerous and unpleasant surface to play on.

Here are some simple tips for long pile artificial turf pitches –this is not a comprehensive list, and pitch owners should always seek guidance from the respective artificial turf supplier to formulate their own maintenance programme which suits their individual needs. The HKRU highly recommends that these tips and guidelines are introduced in all cases where artificial pitches are used.
