Surface installed at Notts Forest academy TigerTurf UK created a tailor-made surface for Nottingham Forest FC’s indoor academy using its Soccer Real 60XQ system. Working with Smith’s Construction, the new surface was delivered and laid in less than a week during half term, when the academy was not in use. The football club’s academy, which hosts about 100 8-19-year-olds from the club’s representative teams, has since achieved Category 2 academy status under the English FA’s Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP).

World Cup stadiums are using Redexim machines
Redexim Charterhouse products have been at the forefront of preparatory work for the 12 pitches being used at the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. The company’s Turf Stripper machines were used to ‘fraise mow’ the pitches, removing turf, weeds and thatch in one pass. Other equipment also ‘verticut’ and thinned out surfaces down to the roots. Redexim’s Speedseed machines then provided overseeding, both over large areas and on fine turf.

Durability of tufted artificial pitches tested Tufted synthetic turf cricket surfaces are nearly twice as durable as woven ones, according to new research. Test specialist Labosport subjected two Notts Sports surfaces – NottsGrass NG12 and NottsGrass NG7 – to rigorous abrasion testing and then compared the results to a woven surface. The Notts Sport surfaces suffered a percentage mass loss of 7.914 and 8.144 percent of their original weight, while the woven surface lost 14.985 percent. The research was based on a British Standard test used by the ECB.
