- Slope and flatness of the field, water permeability
- Weather resistance
- Ball-ground interaction test
- Test ground interaction with player
- Wear Test
- Interaction of the ball due to different reactions
- Rope strength
- Other tests on carpet
What Are the Main Materials Football Turf?
1 – Synthetic grass carpet
2 – SBR granule
3 – Silica sand
4 – Compressed hard layer
5 – 1 crushed stone
6 – 3 crushed stone
7 – Drain pipe
The area to be constructed is roughly excavated and then finely leveled with a 30 cm deep machine, according to the application standards in the best artificial football turf. After it is brought to the area code, compaction is made with a heavy tonnage cylinder. In this way, the problems related to compaction in the ground during the artificial turf football field installation process, collapses and undulations will be eliminated.
Construction of Drainage Channels
The perimeter channels of the professional artificial turf installation are opened starting from -40 cm depth from the places specified in the project, in the form of a trapezoid of 50-70 cm width, by giving a 0.5% slope towards the discharge direction, and these perimeter channels are connected to the main drainage manhole.
The channels in the inner part of the artificial football turf installation on the other hand, should be opened in the length specified in the project and at an angle of 45° towards the surrounding channel. The rough leveling of the opened in indoor football turf and surrounding channels is done by squeezing their surfaces and giving a slope. The connections of these pipes in the process of artificial football turf application are made by using the sleeve, Y and T fork elbows. The drainage is connected in accordance with the discharge point shown from the main manhole.

Manholes
It is manufactured with non-ferrous concrete with a dosage of 250 in a way that it reaches the sections (R1, R2….) specified in the application project.
-
Channels
Immediately after the artificial sports turf installation and the manufacturing of the manholes are completed, the drainage channels are filled with rock crushed stone no. 3 (30 mm in diameter) up to the upper levels of the channel.
-
Drainage Layer
After the channels are filled, 20 cm thick gravel no. 3 (approximately 30 mm in diameter) is laid on the football turf for sale according to the measurement values specified in the infrastructure detail section, making it suitable for its elevations. The laid gravel is compacted transversely and longitudinally with a roller.
-
Top Layer
After the drainage layer is prepared, it is passed to the upper layer. In the production of the upper layer, no. 1-2 (5-15 mm) mountain crushed stone should be laid on the football field, with a thickness of 10 cm, by screeding in accordance with the elevations of the football field. Heavy vehicles and vehicles should never enter the area during the screeding.
After the gravel is laid, the gauges placed will have to be removed and the pits they have created will need to be filled with the same gravel and leveled. Finally, the field is irrigated and the laid material is compressed transversely and longitudinally with a 250 kg cylinder.
-
Corrugation Test
After the top layer is completed, a laboratory firm authorized by FIFA is tested for the conformity of the infrastructure. If this test is positive, the football turf grass is laid.
-
Field Maintenance Equipment
With the acceptance of the football field, the contractor is obliged to the administration so that the field maintenance can be done completely and in a controlled manner; It is necessary to deliver 1 atv motor, 1 dragmad (field maintenance brush) and a ball-ramp.
