What is a Pitch Condition Survey?
A Notts Sport Free Pitch Condition Survery (PCS) is a suite of tests to determine the construction make-up, condition and current performance of your existing hockey turf pitch.
What does a PCS include?
Total measurement of the facility footprint.
A non-invasive inspection and investigation of the synthetic turf surface, shockpad and upper base construction.
Pile depth testing to help indicate and predict the remaining life of the surface.
Exposure of the shockpad to ascertain the type and condition.
Exposure of the underlying upper base to best understand the build-up and the options for ongoing maintenance and resurfacing.
Straightedge testing to ascertain surface tolerance and compliance.
A full visual inspection of the entire footprint will identify any areas that should be highlighted to the client team to maximise the existing performance and plan for any eventual resurfacing as necessary.
The PCS report includes notes on all the above plus:
Advice on how best to maintain the facility to maximise the performance and any remaining life.
Advice on the potential options to resurface with considerations on budget, longevity, and performance, amongst other aspects.
Why should clubs have a PCS?
Notts Sport are impartial pitch designers; we are not contractors nor maintenance providers so are not completing surveys to gain any income from offering maintenance packages.
A PCS will provide any club with an accurate report that establishes the appropriate options for the short, medium, and longer term.
This report allows clubs to make long-term plans and facility strategies to ensure funding, budgets and development plans are in place as early as possible.
A Notts Sport PCS has been proven time and again to allow clubs to get a complete understanding of their facility, against which you can make informed decisions and plans for your hockey turf pitch.
This comprehensive survey, conducted by our experienced team, is a chance to ensure your pitch remains in top shape and a token of our appreciation for your continued support and trust in our decades of expertise.
