Set the hockey facility brief
Define training or competition use, user groups and any required product or field certification before selecting a system. Include run-off, team areas, equipment storage and spectator circulation in the site layout.
Select a hockey-specific turf assembly
Base construction, drainage, turf, seams and any underlying performance layer need to be considered together. Water requirements depend on the chosen system. Where irrigation is required, coordinate the source, storage, pipework and controls before the field is finished.
Connect the field to the complex
Goals, fencing, lighting, maintenance access and service routes should be planned with the playing area. Any performance testing or certification must be part of the agreed specification; it is not established by using the term synthetic hockey turf.
BEFORE YOU BUILD
Common project questions.
Does every hockey turf need watering?
Water requirements depend on the selected hockey system and project brief. They should be checked before the plant and irrigation scope is fixed.
Does installation automatically certify a field?
No. Any product or completed-field certification needs its own documented requirements, inspection and testing arrangements.
