Building a professional synthetic turf sports field is not just about laying artificial grass. It’s a multi-stage process that requires planning, precision, and the right partners. At Globo Turf, we simplify and deliver each step — from concept to completion — with premium turf systems and expert support.
Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the sports facility construction process and how Globo Turf fits into each stage:
1. Feasibility & Planning
Every great facility begins with a solid plan.
Key elements include:
Defining the sports usage (football, multi-sport, cageball, etc.)
Market analysis & expected usage rates
Budget planning and return-on-investment forecasts
Site suitability and permitting
This stage helps determine whether your project is viable — technically, financially, and operationally.
2. Design & Contractor Selection
Work with experienced architects and field designers to ensure your layout meets global standards such as FIFA, CAF, NFHS, or local authority regulations.
Key design factors:
Field dimensions and zoning
Sub-base and drainage engineering
Turf material selection
Lighting, fencing, and seating
Selecting qualified contractors — especially those with synthetic turf and drainage expertise — is vital for long-term success.
3. Site Preparation & Infrastructure
Before turf is installed, the foundation must be perfect.
Steps include:
Earthworks: Excavation, grading, leveling
Base installation: Crushed stone layers for a stable base
Drainage system: Perforated piping and slopes to manage stormwater
Edge restraints: Concrete curbs or anchoring systems for turf integrity
Without proper groundwork, even the best turf system will fail.
4. Artificial Turf System & Infill Selection
At Globo Turf, we offer customizable turf solutions based on your sport, usage intensity, and budget.
Types of infill systems:
SBR rubber granules: Durable, cost-effective, but heat-retaining
Silica sand: Stabilizes turf but limited shock absorption
Organic infill (cork, coconut, etc.): Eco-friendly and cooler, yet more costly
Choosing the right turf pile height, yarn type, and density ensures performance and longevity.
5. Turf Installation
This is where precision matters.Installation includes:
Rolling out turf in alignment
Cutting and seaming rolls together using adhesives or sewing tape
Brushing fibers to stand upright
Spreading infill materials in measured layers
Leveling and final grooming for game-ready performance
Globo Turf provides guidance and optional on-site supervision for flawless installation.
6. Line Marking & Finishing Touches
Field lines and logos: Painted or tufted into the turf
G-max testing: Measures shock absorption and safety
Final inspections: Drainage, seams, infill depth, and fiber positioningThis phase ensures your field meets quality and safety benchmarks.
7. Maintenance Plan
To keep your field in peak condition for 8–10+ years:
Brush and redistribute infill regularly
Remove debris and unwanted plant growth
Inspect seams and high-wear zones
Conduct annual deep cleaning and performance testing
Globo Turf offers post-installation care plans and tools to maximize turf life.
8. Opening Day & Facility Use
