We have been busy testing the 3G pitch at Brighton University. The 3G pitch is used for both football and American football and has been thoroughly inspected and tested by Surface Performance Ltd.
The pitch has not been tested since 2008. The accredited sports surface test report will be used to ascertain the life expectancy of the facility before a re surface is required.
Surface Performance are delighted to support Brynteg School for their 2013 – 2014 rugby season. The school will play in Surface Performance branded shirts throughout the season and their games will be regularly shown on Welsh television channel S4C.
The school have a proud reputation to uphold for the season….. good luck!!!
Fulham Football Club requested Surface Performance Ltd to carry out performance testing and an analysis to their artificial 3G training surfaces at Motspur Park.
The testing is part of our elite football club testing programme which has been adopted by several Premiership football teams. The programme is designed to give coaches, ground staff and physic staff the ability to choose which pitch best suits their players in given situations, for example injury rehabilitation, fitness training, circuit training etc.
Below is a photograph of one of our technicians performing shock absorption testing in line with EN 14808.
