Sports Turf Maintenance

This makes it ideal for laying sand bands or pipe drainage and its ground pressure of just 6psi means that you can get the task done, even in the wet.

SEL moves into maintenance

Established water management specialist SEL Environmental is expanding its sports turf services to include pitch constructions and renovations. To do this, the company has invested in 24 pieces of new equipment from Campey Turf Care Systems.

“We pride ourselves on integrity and quality, and we went into this venture, eyes open.

“We’ve listened to our staff and invested a lot of money on quality, and you need quality to be successful in this line of work,” SEL Commercial Director and Sports and Landscapes Managing Director Jack Shuttleworth explained.

“In general, most of the top contractors working with pitches will use the Koro Fieldtopmaker (FTM) because it is the original and unsurpassed, especially with the Campey Universe rotor on hybrid pitches.”

Designed and patented by Campey Turf Care Systems, the Universe rotor features a unique design that utilises three sets of blades rotating at different speeds for precision and consistency.

SEL will operate with two teams of four for renovations and bring them together for pitch builds. Functioning as two separate teams has meant investing in at least two of everything, with Dakota spreaders, Vredo seeders, Unirakes and Campey Dragmats joining two Koro FTMs.

For Jack, building a reputation with quality work is the objective for the next 12 months, with several projects already scheduled.
