The Pasture (Fairways) Sports Complex boasts an astroturf surface
which is a hub for sport in the community of Sherburn-in-Elmet, North
Yorkshire.
A true multi-functional pitch, it see’s many hours of play per
week taking its toll on the condition of the surface.
Synthetic specialists Replay Maintenance were recently called in
to conduct their Rejuvenation process, which has given the pitch a new lease of
life.
(Before)
Owned by Selby District Council, the day to day running of the
site is controlled by Parish Council Clerk of 34 years Margaret Gibson.
“The Pastures is a great asset and hosts a variety of sports
including hockey, football and tennis. The upkeep of the pitch, together with
the surrounding park, falls to a contractor but this is really just on an
ad-hoc basis and following months of poor weather, and high play usage the
pitch was in need of a more thorough deep clean.”
The services of Replay were recommended by a local England Hockey
representative, to which Replay are the sole official maintenance partner.
“Replay came in to conduct their Rejuvenation® process at the end of April and the end result was fantastic. It
refurbished the pitch to a point where it looked like a new surface which was
welcomed by all of the clubs and players who use the site.”
(After)
Replay’s unique Rejuvenation process uses constant air-flow plenum
technology and compressed air to remove the contaminated top layer of sand;
restore the pile to vertical and fill again with new clean infill.
It can restore a surface to an ‘as new’ condition for appearance,
drainage and performance and often double the playing life of a pitch for a
fraction of the cost of a replacement carpet.
Following the successful Rejuvenation, the Parish Council made the
decision to appoint Replay on a service agreement basis which will now see them
visit twice a year to conduct a deep-clean.
Sales Director of Replay Maintenance Nick Harris reiterates the
importance of planned maintenance. “Choosing regular, arranged maintenance
gives you peace of mind that your surface is getting the treatment required, at
a fixed amount and at intervals that suit the needs of each individual
facility.
"With
Replay we also conduct pre and post maintenance testing to show the difference
the maintenance regime is making, enabling you to plan future requirements far
more effectively.”
