3G Sports Pitch Contractors Near Me

The 3G surfacing consultancy must begin with feasibility tests and topographical surveys of the ground to check the levels, drainage and suitability of your existing area to make sure it’s safe for installing 3G surfacing.

When these tests and assessments have been carried out and the site has been approved, architects can come up with a specification and design for the artificial surfacing which includes a choice of 3G carpet, area size and drawings of the proposed facility.

This could also include extra accessories such as secure fencing and specialist sports floodlighting around the perimeter of your football field.

Once planning permission has been granted for the project, the construction work can start.

In order to find a company to complete the construction of your sports facility, the 3G surface consultants will compile this information, along with bills of quantities, into a tender document which is sent out to a few different contractors.

The company that gives the best value price for the work will be awarded the job.

What is a 3G Pitch?

A 3G pitch, also known as a third-generation artificial turf, is a type of playing surface commonly used in sports such football and rugby.

It is a synthetic pitch designed to replicate the look and feel of natural grass while providing enhanced durability and all-weather playability.

The "3G" in its name refers to the third generation of artificial turf, with the previous two generations being less advanced in terms of their composition and performance.

3G pitches are constructed using a combination of synthetic grass fibres, infill materials, and a rubber crumb or sand base.

The key features of a 3G pitch include:

  • Synthetic Grass Fibres: The playing surface consists of synthetic grass fibres that are designed to closely resemble natural grass. These fibres are typically made of materials such as polyethylene or polypropylene and are tufted into a backing material.
  • Infill Materials: The space between the grass fibres is filled with infill materials, such as rubber granules or sand. The infill provides stability, shock absorption, and helps to support the artificial grass fibres, allowing them to stand upright.
  • Durability: 3G pitches are designed to be highly durable and capable of withstanding heavy use. They are often used in locations where natural grass cannot be maintained due to excessive wear or unfavorable weather conditions.
  • All-Weather Playability: Unlike natural grass, 3G pitches are designed to be playable in various weather conditions, including rain. The drainage system incorporated into the pitch allows water to flow through the surface, minimising waterlogging and ensuring consistent playability.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Compared to natural grass, 3G pitches require less maintenance. They do not require mowing, watering, or the use of fertilisers. However, periodic brushing and infill redistribution are necessary to maintain the performance and appearance of the pitch.

Overall, 3G pitches provide a consistent playing surface, regardless of the weather, and are often favored for their durability and extended usability, making them suitable for both professional and recreational sports activities.
