//Rejeneration® gets the Royal seal of approval!

Technical Surfaces is pleased to announce that we have recently completed our patented Rejeneration^® works on the synthetic sports surface at the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy.

At 10 years old, the sand-filled pitch was in need of a deep clean to remove excess mud and silt, to help resolve the problems the players and teachers had been experiencing with the playing surface. Resurfacing is not considered a viable option at this stage, and so we were contacted in late 2012 to provide a condition report on the pitch.

In situations such as this, the ideal solution is to extract the contaminated infill that has caused the problems to occur, replacing it with clean, fresh aggregate to restore the draining and playing properties of a synthetic sports surface.

We inspected the pitch and submitted our findings in early December. Shortly afterwards, we received an order to complete the Rejeneration^®, with a view to following this with a regular MatchFit^® Plus maintenance contract.

We have worked closely with the facility operator, G4S Integrated Services (UK) Ltd, at every stage of this process, to ensure that the Rejeneration^® works would minimise disruption to the academy. The air-extraction and sand re-dressing was completed within a week, with a return visit scheduled for a second re-dressing in early February. (For the Rejeneration^® process to work effectively there must be a gradual re-introduction of infill into the carpet. An initial heavy dressing should be completed immediately after the extraction of the contaminated infill, and then allowed to bed in for a sufficient period of time before another visit to carry out the secondary application.)

"I would like to thank Technical Surfaces for their prompt response to our request and for the professional way that the Rejeneration® works were carried out”, says Steven Glass of G4S, who made the initial enquiry. This sentiment is echoed by Contract Operations Manager, Paul Schafer, who is based at the Royal Wootton Bassett Academy:

Many thanks for the good work completed and for your professionalism as a company.

As Royal Wootton Bassett Academy and many more of our customers have discovered, when it comes to the deep-cleaning of a synthetic sports surface, making the right choice in the first instance provides better value for money in the long run.
