PowerGrass® is the grass reinforced with artificial turf, an innovative project for sport fields constructions, environmental friendly, practising the Green Economy concept.
PowerGrass® combines quality and savings, is a revolutionary project that will soon change the way sports fields will be realized.
Investing today in PowerGrass field is a responsible and forward-looking choice. Besides sports, you can practice any activity that is done on natural grass. (source, pag. 17 Why choose natural turf?).
Maintenance of PowerGrass requires a little efforts and expenses. It's enough to have the basic skills and a certain persistence to achieve the desired result.
PowerGrass is an innovative patent for sports surfaces and playgrounds that allows you to solve all the problems of hybrid systems while offering greater ease of installation, increased efficiency and durability, simplification and reduction of maintenance and a significant reduction of costs.
The field in PowerGrass today represents the best solution to provide a modern playing surface in natural grass reinforced, stable and soft. Meets professional players by offering them the opportunity to train on the same field in the championship game while for amateur players is the realization of a dream.
A high-performance field allows a more spectacular game because athletes know they can play safely on a field designed with reference to their security needs and performance.
In the USA, now for over 10 years are coming back to build natural grass for American Football fields.Players prefer natural grass because is fresh and safer.
Natural turf is generally softer of synthetic grass and protects the joints and muscles from damages.
A cool playing surface promotes greater comfort for both players and spectators, in sports facilities because it doesn't heat up the area on sunny days.
Preserving the environment and the health of the players is now possible thanks to PowerGrass® and new grass varieties resistant to environmental stresses and intensive games. This is confirmed by the European Seed Association. Source www.pitchcare.com
These are the qualities that have convinced the experts to promote this innovative system.
PowerGrass® includes deep expertises in both natural grass maintenance and artificial turf production. PowerGrass® is an important technology step ahaid, is the real alternative to pure artificial turf pitches.
PowerGrass system is studied to be:
The idea to built up a professional playing surface in reinforced natural grass, accessible to any budget... was our main target during the development of the project. The technology available today in synthetic turf and our agronomic experience, experts in natural grass, allowed us to find an appropriate solution we been waiting so long.
Developing the PowerGrass project we hit all targets. In our eyes, is the ideal solution for playing Soccer, Football or Rugby taking full advantages of the playing field "without" consequences for the grass.
It is a perfect symbiosis with mutual benefits because natural grass protects synthetic filaments from UV rays of the sun meanwhile, stabilizes the infill and "weld" the joints of artificial turf because the grass roots grow through the backing. Meanwhile, artificial turf and the growth medium made of silica sand mixed with special designed organic soil conditioner, limit soil compaction, the main enemy of natural grass, increasing its resistance depending to the winter climate more conducive to growth. For an example the hours of play per season may change for: Cool Continental up to 1000 hours, Temperate Maritime up to 1200 hours and Mediterranean Climates up to 1400 hours. Artificial fibers protect the crown of the grass plants. The roots penetrate the backing looking for water and nutrients in the growth medium below the backing and anchor strongly to the artificial support and provide greater support to the player's movements. Damages on natural grass are limited and expenses for maintenance are reduced drastically.
Maintenance is simplified and does not require special skills. Under standard conditions it is sufficient to handle the water with automatic irrigation system during hot and dry periods and apply a trivial, but regular fertilizing program. The grass is extremely reinforced, and maintenance is reduced. Entrusting mowing to the robot CutCat will save you precious time and help you grow a denser turfgrass.
Soccer
The PowerGrass is designed for professionals, but is accessible to all athletes.
PowerGrass
The grass breathes above and below the artificial backing, grows healthy and vigorous.
Roots PowerGrass
The roots of the natural grass penetrate the support of artificial grass and also grow under in the sand based growth medium mixed with Geofill PG.
BENEFÍCIOS
"Testing" PowerGrass on barefoot of our children is a proof of how much confidence we have in the system.
Nature care
PowerGrass uses little recyclable plastic to reinforce natural grass up to 20 years, therefore is environmental friendly and generates savings in the broadest sense for the collectivity.
