TriPlex 45: Raising the Game in Artificial Football Turf

TriPlex 45: Raising the Game in Artificial Football Turf

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.

  • 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.”

TripLex 45 artificial grass turf for footballPictured 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.”

PST Sport begins construction on new artificial grass pitch at Ashford Town FC

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.

Breaking 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.

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.

Meeting the Growing Demand: Resurfacing Solutions for Aging Synthetic Turf Hockey Pitches

Resurfacing aging artificial turf hockey pitches

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?

7 signs your artificial turf hockey pitch may need replacing

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.

Artificial turf hockey pitch resurfaces completed by PST Sport

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
✓ Aesthetic colour innovation
✓ Designed for the highest levels of field hockey play


Get in Touch

At PST Sport, we understand the importance of maintaining top-quality playing surfaces for field hockey. If your synthetic turf hockey pitch is showing signs of wear, or you want to ensure optimal performance for years to come, now is the perfect time to act. Our resurfacing solutions are designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance artificial turf that enhances gameplay and ensures player safety.

The Rise of Artificial Turf Pitches for Rugby

The rise of artificial grass rugby pitches - Why Top Clubs are Switching to Artificial Turf Rugby Pitches

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.

How PST Sport Can Help

PST Sport is a Design & Build specialist contractor focusing exclusively on the design and construction of world-class artificial grass pitches. This includes subbase, playing surfaces, and supporting infrastructure such as fencing, lighting, and access for all sports.

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.

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.
