How long does it take to build a sports field?
Constructing a sports field is no small task. Building it correctly early on will save you issues down the track, particularly when it comes to drainage and irrigation. Since every field is different, the installation time can vary depending on a number of aspects. A sports field installation could take anything from a couple of months to a couple of years for larger projects.
Which turf is best for football fields?
Choosing the correct type of turf to suit the purpose of the sports surface is crucial. This is why Solutions+ conducts a detailed assessment and selects a variety that best suits our customers needs and wants. Kikuyu and Couch are commonly used on sports fields, and synthetic varieties are also becoming more common.
How often should sports fields be cut?
To achieve the optimum turf blade length and turf density during the playing season, frequent mowing is recommended. This can be reduced during the colder months. Fields can be cut approximately 20 times a year.
How do I improve the irrigation of a sports field?
- The effective functionality of irrigation and drainage systems is critical to the healthy upkeep of the playing surfaces and important to player satisfaction while inefficiencies can lead to high operational costs. There are a number of improvements that can be made, however these depend on the current state of your sports surface.
- Ageing infrastructure should be assessed before major complications arise, and where appropriate replaced. This ensures far more sustainable long-term outcomes. Like all mechanical systems, sprinklers, pipes, fittings and other components, they all experience wear and tear over time and will require replacement at some time.
- Water storage tanks are a great option for collecting rainwater and overflow during the wet season. This helps to conserve water and use it more efficiently during the drier months or times of drought.
- Aerating the surfaces can be effective but some problem areas may require earthquaking machines where powerful vibrations in the sub-surface disrupts the compacted grounds and creates cracks and fissures to allow water to disperse more easily and to create an improved soil environment for healthy turf grass growth.
- Automatic systems and modern technology enables more efficient water usage, and consequently better and more cost-effective results.
- Maintaining a regular service schedule so you can stay on the front foot and avoid major and costly repairs is also key.
What are the benefits of rainwater harvesting and irrigation systems?
There are many benefits to rainwater harvesting and other irrigation systems, including lower costs, less stress on the environment and enhanced plant and grass growth.
Rainwater harvesting means lower water bills and potential savings on other utilities, as well as less environmental wastage. You can also save your organisation time and money with automated irrigation services that don’t require you to walk around with a hose or move sprinklers. Finally, you’ll also be less reliant on outside water pump and filtration systems that can break down.
