Potential Cost Savings


Here is a worked example illustrating the cost benefits of extending the life-cycle of a synthetic turf pitch from between five and 15 years. The graph shows the income generation over the full life-cycle. The negative sections highlight the cost of a replacement synthetic turf system after five-, seven-, 10- and 15-year cycles.

It has been shown that maintenance can significantly extend the useable life of a synthetic sports surface. The illustration demonstrates the positive implications this can have for the facility and the important role a good groundstaff team can play in extending the sinking fund provision.
