Synthetic Sports Surfaces from Nova Sport for Multisport Activities

Ground conditions can have a profound influence on the cost of a project and proper information is needed before meaningful cost estimates can be prepared.

The first stage of any pitch is an individual survey to determine the suitability of the site. Varying topography, drainage, geological factors and planning constraints make each site unique, thus it is essential that an experienced civil engineering team carry out an evaluation.

The standard base construction may have to be adapted to meet site requirements. As with all building work it is essential to ensure a good quality foundation, which will provide stability and maintain porosity throughout the life of the pitch.

Nova Sport Ltd recommend the use of engineered bases utilising a permeable bitumen bound macadam, laid to strictly controlled tolerances, installed over a frost reistant, free draining crushed stone sub base. Many pitches require the inclusion of a drainage system to assist in moving water away from beneath the playing area. Often, existing surfaces are readily upgradable with the correct preparation.

Maintenance & Aftercare

Once a facility is completed it may require a little time to establish its optimum playing characteristics. This is particularly true for NovaTurf surfaces.

Full maintenance instructions are provided with each surface and it is important to establish a routine maintenance programme to prolong surface life. Routine maintenance of NovaSport is minimal, and the removal of surface debris such as leaves and occasional hosing is all that is required.

However, NovaTurf will require additional attention. Renewal of surface finishes and line markings, especially in high wear areas, may be required at very infrequent intervals. Nova Sport Ltd. can provide a comprehensive range of fixed and portable sports equipment to complete your sports facility.
