What is a Sub Base?

A sub base is the layer of aggregate which is installed prior to laying the top surface. For nearby synthetic turf sports pitches, a number of materials can be used for the sub-base. First, a dynamic stone sub-base is installed to the required depths across the surface. After the compacted stone has been installed, professionals will lay a tarmacadam foundation layer to create a smooth surface for the synthetic turf to be installed on. For sports like rugby, a rubber shock pad may be installed prior to laying the artificial grass to allow for improved safety characteristics. 

Upgraded Surface Specs 

Below shows different upgraded specification option you might come across:

  • Upgrade from stone dynamic base to a macadam engineered base
  • Supply and install a new rubber insitu shockpad if there currently isn't one
  • Upgrade or repair existing shockpads or macadam
  • Add more drainage if there is any issues with current pitch holding water (SUDS compliant)
  • Correct any slight undulations and levels on the pitch (sports testing to meet FIFA 2*)

In the event of unlevel surrounding areas on an insitu laid shockpad it's possible to add amounts of rubber to bring the surface level and back within tolerance.

Repair or Upgrade Shockpads Near Me

When an artificial sports surface is first replaced general repairs to your shockpad are more common than a complete rip-up and replacement of the shock pad. This is because a rubber shockpad should last double the amount of time of the synthetic turf and therefore during its first replacement, if uplifted by a specialist contractor, minimal damage should be done to the shock pad layer meaning it should be in a good enough condition to lay onto with only slight repairs needed.
