Regular Grooming and Decompaction
Synthetic Grass Sports Surfaces, Synthetic Clay Surfaces such as Euro Clay and Smash Court, Astro Turf and Artificial Grass Tennis Courts and Sports Pitches including Artificial Turf MUGA's will require and benefit from regular grooming and decompaction processes. Power Grooming is a process that removes surface debris and decompacts the infill. The Power Grooming process is more vigorous than Drag Brushing and is designed to decompact the infill to a maximum depth of 10mm. Decompaction of the infill helps keep the synthetic turf draining freely, enlarging the voids between the particles and thereby enlarging the space between which water can flow. The carpet pile is lifted and straightened.
This process backs up cleaning processes and can be combined with either Regular Cleaning and/or Drag Brushing to form a maintenance regime package to suit the surface, its use and location, and the Facility Budget.
The Process: The surface is mechanically brushed and surface debris is removed. The infill material is decompacted to a maximum depth of 10mm and lifted using a MAX 1 decompaction machine. The infill material is then evenly redistributed back over the surface and brushed into the correct levels. The carpet pile is lifted and straightened.
