Geotextiles in Sports Engineering.

Geotextiles in Sports Engineering Can Geotextiles play a role in sports engineering? Absolutely. In the field of sports engineering as well, the versatile Ocean Geotextiles are wonderful tools that resolve myriad problems.

With the constant use and overuse of sports fields, there is bound to be a decline in the surface quality. Weather plays an important role too in the degradation of the quality of the turf. Extreme

sun

exposure,

rains,

and

use

during

various

sports

render the field and turf unfit over a period of time. As with most

sectors,

Geotextiles

provide

an

innovative

and

cost-

efficient solution to turf woes as well.

Natural Turf vs. Artificial Turf in Sports Fields: Maintaining

the

sports

field

turf

with

natural

grass

is

not

always feasible. Natural grass needs to rest, time to grow, and is susceptible to environmental and physical stressors.

They require water and pesticides and much more by way of maintenance. Not to forget the bald patches, the mud, dust, and limited playtime they can withstand (average of 1150 hours of

play/year),

that

truly

make

natural

grass

turf

an

unsustainable option.

Enter the innovative artificial turf or synthetic turf, which has now

become

famous

and

the

choice

of

turf

in

sports

engineering. Unlike their natural counterparts, the artificial turf can be used all day long, every day (3000 hours/year of play). They are made of non-toxic, high-quality materials and need reduced

water

consumption.

The

synthetic

turf

sports

fields

require less time and money and are environmentally-friendly too. Not only do they combat difficult climatic conditions, but they

are

highly

durable

and

safe

for

players,

reducing

turf

injuries.

The quality of the artificial turf is directly proportional to the quality

of

the

base,

which

acts

as

drainage,

absorbing

and

draining water from the surface. Poor drainage can result in water build, mold, mildew, and growth of spores and bacteria. Hence

a

good

draining

geotextile

keeps

the

artificial

turf

pristine and durable.

Ocean Geosynthetics Geotextiles in Sports Engineering: There is wide use of Geotextiles in the construction of artificial sports fields. The Ocean Geosynthetics permeable geotextiles are

fabrics

made

of

synthetic

fibers,

woven,

and

needle

punched or nonwoven. The geotextiles are an integral part of installing the artificial turf.

Long-

provides

the artificial turf with a solid base, and eases the installation process
