Setting New Standards in Artificial Turf Performance

Receiving plaudits for your pitch is every club’s goal, especially when they have invested in a new artificial surface. Clubs such as Oxford City FC, Bedford Town FC, and Larkhall Athletic FC are benefitting from TriPlex 45, a premier artificial turf football product developed by PST Sport and their FIFA Preferred Producer partner, CCGrass. Since its introduction, TriPlex 45 has proven a winner – not only for top non-league clubs but also for selected Football Foundation funded facilities, such as the new pitch at Sheffield Wednesday’s community hub.

• Sheffield Wednesday FC Jubilee Park, Full-Size FIFA Quality Pro Approved
• Bedford Town FC, 7,800 sq/m FIFA Quality Pro Approved

Meeting Non-League Demands

Colin Teahon, Managing Director of PST Sport, explains,

“Our reputation in non-league football is growing fast, and we needed a product that would meet the demands of high-quality competitive football on a Saturday, as well as other clubs’ and community use during the week. We decided that a 45mm pile height turf on a PE foam pad would make the best combination, based on previous experience and extensive research reviewing products tested to FIFA standards.”

Engineering a Winning Artificial Turf Design for Optimal Performance

At this point, PST Sport collaborated with their production company, which offered a unique three-fibre combination. Bryn Lee, consultant to CCGrass, helped select three contrasting yarns for the product. “First, we have a V-shaped yarn that offers excellent resilience and helps control the speed of the football across the surface. This is supported by a wide C-shaped yarn with a central spine for softness and improved infill retention, and finally, a diamond-shaped yarn for long-term performance. Each fibre is a different shade of green, creating a more natural appearance.”

Pictured above: TriPlex 45, a premier surface for stadium and academy football. Each tuft includes three different fibre shapes that bring their own benefits; balancing durability with resilience and a soft touch, to create a unique product. When laid onto a PE foam pad, TriPlex 45 doesn’t just meet FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro standards; it offers great value alongside exceptional performance. It really is the next step up for football.

Testimonials: Positive Feedback from Clubs

Feedback from players, coaches, and owners has reinforced the design of TriPlex 45. Bedford Town FC Chairman John Taylor remarked,

“I met Colin Teahon, Managing Director of PST Sport. We met with five different companies who provide new artificial surfaces in the UK, and I can honestly say he was 100% the best party to deal with – his knowledge and integrity are unquestionable. There was no pressure in sales, and he delivered within our desired timescales.

The quality workmanship and the expertise of his team in delivering such a magnificent ‘state-of-the-art’ facility are second to none. The pitch looks fantastic, and everyone who’s been down to the ground has said the same thing. The customer service and workmanship have been excellent. From start to finish, we have been very impressed and will always recommend this company. Many thanks for all your help. We are delighted with the pitch PST Sport has provided for Bedford Town FC.”

Jon Taylor, Owner & Director, Bedford Town FC

A Game-Changer for Non-League and Community Football

As Colin Teahon concludes, “The TriPlex 45 turf, laid onto a PE foam pad, doesn’t just meet FIFA Quality and FIFA Quality Pro standards; it offers great value alongside exceptional performance. It really is the next step up for football.”

Earlier this week, we broke ground at Ashford Town Football Club’s Robert Parker Stadium in Middlesex, marking the start of construction on a state-of-the-art artificial grass pitch. This significant development will replace the current grass surface, which has been plagued by poor weather conditions and limited usability for players.

The new 106m x 70m stadium pitch, designed to meet FIFA Quality Pro standards, will provide an all-weather facility that can be used year-round. Once complete, it will provide local teams, schools, and community groups with a high-quality playing surface, expanding opportunities for everyone to participate in sport. The facility will help foster a thriving and inclusive environment for players of all ages and abilities.

PST Sport is delighted to partner with Ashford Town FC on this transformative project. The construction will involve full groundworks, the installation of an enhanced drainage system and a dynamic stone base. The playing surface will feature Biplex 52, a high performance artificial grass laid over a preformed shock pad. BiPlex 52, specifically designed for heavily used pitches, incorporates two different fibres in each tuft, ensuring excellent appearance and resilience even under intense use.

Key elements of the project include the installation of 352m of spectator fencing, boundary fencing, recycled trek boards, and 8 no. 15m floodlights. For added safety, the pitch will also feature 60m of 15m high ball-stop netting and pitch divider netting, making it a versatile and secure facility.

The new pitch will be a major asset to both Ashford Town FC and the wider community, supporting the continued growth of sport in the area and providing a top-quality playing surface for all.

This projected is Supported by the Football Foundation. 

It has been an exceptionally busy summer at PST Sport, as we delivered state-of-the-art sports facilities to clubs, schools, and communities across Ireland and the UK.

Rock Celtic FC, Dundalk, Co. Louth

We completed a pitch resurfacing project for Rock Celtic FC in Dundalk, where the existing surface had exceeded its lifespan.

PST Sport is excited to announce the extension of our exclusive partnership with The Southern Football League for an additional year, running until June 2025. Since the beginning of this collaboration in 2021, PST Sport has been proud to work alongside the league to support non-league football clubs across England. As the 2024/25 season gets underway, 87 teams will continue to compete across the league’s four divisions, with PST Sport continuing to play a key role in supporting their success.

Transforming Pitches Across the Southern Football League

Since the beginning of our partnership in 2021, PST Sport has delivered three world-class artificial grass pitches to clubs within The Southern Football League:

St Ives Town FC: We converted the club’s existing stadium pitch to a FIFA Quality Pro artificial grass pitch, elevating the quality of the playing surface to world-class standards.

Bedford Town FC: At Eyrie Stadium, we replaced the existing grass pitch with a full-size FIFA Quality Pro pitch, ensuring year-round durability and optimal performance.

These projects reflect PST Sport’s unwavering commitment to helping clubs overcome the challenge of maintaining quality playing surfaces throughout the year. By delivering world-class pitches, we’ve enabled these clubs to enjoy the benefits of reliable, safe, and high-performance surfaces, regardless of weather conditions.

We are excited about the future and confident that this partnership will continue to have a lasting impact on non-league football in England.

As the demand for synthetic turf hockey pitches has surged over the past two decades, the number of artificial turf hockey pitches requiring resurfacing has correspondingly increased. With a significant number of artificial turf pitches reaching the end of their lifespan, the need for high-quality resurfacing solutions is on the rise.

Regardless of the playing time and level of maintenance, synthetic hockey pitch surfaces will eventually reach the end of their life, resulting in a significant decrease in pitch performance. PST Sport has extensive experience re-turfing existing synthetic turf hockey pitches.

Does Your Hockey Pitch Need Resurfacing?

How PST Sport Can Help

At PST Sport, we specialise in the design, construction, and resurfacing of artificial turf pitches. With over 12 years of industry expertise, we’ve seen the progression of artificial turf technology and its transformative effect on the sport. Our artificial grass hockey fields are fast and consistent, designed specifically for skilful hockey, offering improved player safety and optimal playing characteristics.

PST Sport’s Unique Approach to Resurfacing a Hockey Pitch

The base is the foundation of field hockey, ensuring quality, safety, and firmness on the playing surface. Given the sport’s reliance on surface conditions for skilful gameplay, the quality of an artificial turf hockey pitch is heavily influenced by its base.

Common Issues with Aging Hockey Pitches

Aging pitches often suffer from subsidence and deformation, posing safety risks and hindering player performance. Whether it’s due to natural wear and tear or inadequate construction, these issues demand prompt attention to maintain the integrity of the playing surface and sustain sports activities.

Our approach is what sets PST Sport apart. We carefully consider your project requirements and tailor a pitch design solution to deliver maximum value for money and return on investment. Utilising our innovative PST Base™ site survey, our team conducts thorough assessments of the ground beneath the old surface, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its condition prior to resurfacing.

The Importance of Base Assessment in Resurfacing

When resurfacing an existing artificial grass hockey pitch, assessing the base beneath the old surface plays a critical role. The nature of the sport means that precise game play is heavily reliant on surface conditions. Our hockey fields are completely flat, fast and consistent, offering improved player safety and optimal playing characteristics. A slow pitch can hamper game play considerably.

Our Approach

Complete Site Survey: Key to Successful Resurfacing

Prior to works commencing we carry out a complete site survey to assess the condition of the ground underneath the old carpet.

Understanding Subbase Composition and Issues

By scanning the entire surface to determine how a pitch base was constructed, we are able to formulate a cost-effective design to remedy the subbase and provide a long-lasting pitch.

Tailored Solutions Prior to Resurfacing

Leveraging advanced techniques and technologies, we gain valuable insights into the composition of the subbase and the subbase issues. Armed with comprehensive data from our site analysis, we then devise tailored solutions to address the specific challenges facing each pitch. From remedial works to stabilise the subbase to resurfacing with high performance sand dressed hockey carpet and shock pad.

The Surface: FastPro HF Series – Elevating Hockey Gameplay

Engineered for Excellence

The FastPro HF Series is specially designed for hockey, engineered to deliver a first-class playing surface. Featuring strongly tufted turf with PE curly monofilament fibre, a high stitch density, a choice of playing colours and surrounds, it delivers true playing performance and sets a new standard for hockey turf.

Superior Surface Characteristics

FastPro hockey turf is dressed with selected small, rounded, clean sand, to provide a stable, attractive and long lasting hockey surface offering exceptional ball speed and uniformity as well as enhanced durability. The sand layer supports and strengthens the base of the fibres, but no sand is visible on the surface.

Product Features:
✓ Increased roll speed and ball accuracy for flawless ball control
✓ Dense stitch for compact appearance
✓ Optimum ball/surface interaction
✓ Identical unidirectional ball roll
✓ Excellent, consistent foot grip
✓ Low friction in both wet & dry conditions
✓ Superb shock absorbing capabilities

At PST Sport, we understand the importance of maintaining top-quality playing surfaces for field hockey.

Why Top Clubs are Switching to Artificial Turf Rugby Pitches

To meet the demands of rugby, a pitch needs to be strong, durable, resilient, safe, and player-friendly. An artificial grass rugby pitch guarantees a year-round facility that allows players to continually develop their teams across all levels, ultimately leading to on-the-field success. With the challenges of our unpredictable climate, artificial turf pitches have become the necessary choice for a weather-proof, safe, and high-quality playing experience.

The Advantages of Artificial Turf in Competitive Rugby

At some stage, thanks to the growing number of artificial turf fields now installed, a player will play competitive rugby on a artificial turf pitch. These surfaces provide a consistent, year-round environment that meets World Rugby Regulation 22 for safety. Players can perform all necessary movements – running, twisting, and tackling – safely and effectively. In competitive matches, artificial turf pitches support faster gameplay.

Breaking down the impact of the pitch to specific areas of the game:

• Scrums – are more stable, with better grip meaning fewer scrums collapse.
• Line outs – a player falling from height is less likely to suffer an injury because of the need to meet a strict fall height test, which is not performed on a natural pitch.
• Tackles – except in very dry conditions, players can go to ground safely and at speed, without any difference to how they would fall on natural grass.
• Ball bounce – is easy to read, more consistent albeit closer to the characteristics on an early season pitch.
• Running – is similar, with speed, acceleration, stopping and change of direction, very similar to high quality natural turf.

Munster Rugby, Virgin Media Park

PST Sport converted the full-size natural grass field at Munster Rugby’s Cork base to a 10,500 sq/m World-Class World Rugby Approved artificial turf pitch. Our Superb EX2 installed at Virgin Media Park is a top level rugby system providing the ultimate rugby performance. The longer Superb fibres are soft to touch, very hard wearing and exceptionally resilient. These are supported by a texturised yarn (“thatch”) that replicates natural grass fibres and holds the sand layer, at the base of the turf, providing better grip for scrummaging and pushing on.

Longford Rugby Club

We completed a state-of-the-art full-size (8,500 sq/m) artificial turf rugby pitch with Superb hyprid carpet at Longford Rugby Club. Project works included full groundworks, the installation of high performance Superb hybrid carpet and shock pad, fencing, lighting and sports netting.

CBS High School, Clonmel

8,750 sq/m World Rugby Approved Artificial Grass Rugby Pitch

This 8,750 sq/m facility meets World Rugby standards, featuring our Max 60 carpet on a performance pad. Works included a PST Base survey to assess ground conditions underneath, full groundworks including the installation of a custom enhanced drainage system, followed by the installation of our Max 60 carpet on a performance pad. Max 60 is extremely durable, incredibly resilient and designed to ensure maximum player safety and give a better rugby performance. The pitch can be played on constantly and drains much faster than natural turf.

Nenagh Ormond Rugby Club

We are currently constructing 2 no. artificial grass pitches for Nenagh Ormond Rugby Club, in Tipperary.

1️⃣ 9,000 sq/m artificial grass pitch to replace the existing grass field
2️⃣ 50m x 40m artificial grass training pitch

One of the biggest advantages of converting from a grass field to an artificial turf playing surface is that that all club members will be able to play rugby all year round.

Malahide RFC

For many clubs, a full-size artificial grass rugby pitch may not be necessary or within budget. PST Sport has installed hundreds of smaller training surfaces for clients across the UK and Ireland. These pitches provide a cost-effective solution, allowing clubs to benefit from high-quality, durable training facilities tailored to their specific needs. Whether for skills training, fitness drills, or small-sided games, our artificial grass pitches can be customised to fit any size area, ensuring that clubs can enjoy the advantages of artificial turf regardless of space constraints.

This week, PST Sport will embark on a major transformation of Bedford Town Football Club’s home grounds with the construction of a state-of-the-art artificial turf pitch at Eyrie Stadium. This exciting development will see the existing grass field replaced with a brand-new 7,800 sq/m FIFA Quality Pro synthetic turf pitch. The upgrade will provide the club with a world-class, full-size playing surface, ensuring superior training and competition facilities are available year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

The extensive overhaul will include the installation of an enhanced drainage system, a stone subbase, and a dynamic stone layer to ensure optimal playability and pitch longevity. The new pitch will have a high-performance Triplex 45 surface, known for its durability and playability. In addition, the project will feature new spectator fencing, and a 2-metre wide tarmac footpath surrounding all four sides of the pitch for improved accessibility.

This comprehensive upgrade marks a significant milestone for Bedford Town FC, elevating the overall experience for players, coaches, and fans alike. The new facilities are expected to foster better training conditions, enhance match-day experiences, and contribute to the development of local football talent.

PST Sport is thrilled to collaborate with Bedford Town Football Club on this transformative project.

Exciting times ahead for Larkhall Athletic Football Club as PST Sport embark on the construction of a brand new FIFA Quality Pro 3G pitch at Securitas Stadium. Next season, the club will compete at the highest level in its history. This development not only underscores Larkhall Athletic FC’s commitment to excellence within the community but also highlights the club’s ambition and determination to succeed on all fronts.

Transforming Securitas Stadium

The much-anticipated project, which has recently begun, will transform the Larks’ stadium pitch, replacing the existing natural grass field with a state-of-the-art artificial grass surface. PST Sport have designed the subbase and drainage system to accommodate the new surfacing solution to deliver the most technologically advanced artificial turf pitch. Additional works include kerbing, the installation of 1.2m high spectator fencing, and a 1.5m wide tarmac footpath will be constructed on three sides of the pitch, along with retaining walls.

TriPlex 45 Surface: Innovation in Artificial Turf

The chosen surface is TriPlex 45, laid over preformed shock pad. TriPlex 45 can be played on constantly and drains much faster than natural turf. This superior football turf uses 3 different shaped yarns, for better resilience, durability and softness. This enables the field to perform to FIFA standards and also creates a surface that can last in excess of 10 years. The surface provides a good balance of performance and longevity, which will allow the club to use the field extensively and maximise its usage to the wider community.

PST Sport has a proven track record of delivering exceptional sports facilities. The new surface at Larkhall Athletic Football Club promises outstanding playing characteristics, ensuring a bright and successful future for many generations of players.

PST Sport proudly announces the completion of multiple phases of development at St Ignatius College, Enfield. Since 2021, PST Sport has collaborated closely with the school to deliver a number of state-of-the-art artificial turf sports surfaces, enhancing the school’s commitment to providing exceptional sporting facilities.

Sport plays an integral role in the curriculum at St Ignatius College, and PST Sport has been instrumental in realising the school’s vision for world-class sports infrastructure. Phase I of the project involved the construction of a 1,630 sq/m artificial grass multi-sport surface featuring FastPro 18 sand dressed carpet on an insitu shock pad. FastPro is an exceptional short pile sports surface for everyday use.

Building upon the success of Phase I, Phase II saw the installation of a 34m x 63m multi-sport surface, further enhancing the school’s sporting capabilities. Works included the implementation of a new macadam layer, 194 meters of timber edging, and repairs to existing spectator fencing. The new surface: Pride 50, a cutting-edge synthetic turf known for its durability and optimal performance, laid over shock pad and infilled with high-grade silica sand and performance SBR to give an enhanced player experience across multiple sports.

We recently completed the installation of an artificial grass long jump run-up with a landing sand pit and a high jump take-off area at St Ignatius College. The FastPro 18mm surface, laid over shock pad and infilled with specialist grade premium infill sand, further enhances the school’s athletic offerings.

Commenting on the completion of the project Colin Teahon, Managing Director at PST Sport, remarked,

“We are thrilled to have partnered with St Ignatius College to create world-class sports facilities that inspire excellence and promote physical activity among students. These installations reflect our dedication to delivering cutting-edge sports surfacing solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client.“

The recent developments at St Ignatius College align with the objectives outlined in ‘Get Active: A strategy for the future of sport and physical activity.’ By making world-class sports facilities widely accessible, St Ignatius College and PST Sport are contributing to the overarching goal of improving the nation’s health and fitness.
