Artificial Turf Field Testing & Performance Analysis Process

At Clean Green Turf, we believe that data-driven maintenance is the key to maximizing your artificial sports field investment while ensuring athlete safety. Our comprehensive testing and measurement process provides you with the actionable insights needed to maintain optimal playing conditions year-round.

Our Scientific Approach

Infill Level Measurement & Analysis

Proper infill levels are critical for player safety, performance, and field longevity. Our technicians conduct precise infill depth measurements across your entire field using industry-standard tools and techniques.

Our Process:

• Systematic grid sampling across high, medium, and low-traffic areas

• Digital depth gauge measurements at predetermined points

• Comprehensive mapping of infill distribution patterns

• Identification of areas requiring redistribution or replenishment

Why It Matters: Inadequate infill levels can lead to increased injury risk, poor ball bounce characteristics, and accelerated turf fiber wear. Our detailed infill analysis helps you maintain optimal playing conditions while extending field life.

GMAX Impact Testing

GMAX testing measures the shock absorption properties of your field surface, directly correlating to player safety and injury prevention. We utilize calibrated impact testing equipment to ensure your field meets or exceeds industry safety standards.

Our Comprehensive Testing:

• Multiple impact measurements across the entire field

• Testing at various infill depths and field conditions

• Comparison against FIFA, World Rugby, and other governing body standards

• Seasonal variation analysis to track performance changes

Data You Receive: Detailed GMAX reports showing compliance levels, areas of concern, and specific recommendations for maintaining optimal shock absorption properties throughout your field.

Shear Factor Analysis

Shear factor testing evaluates the rotational resistance of your field surface, ensuring proper traction without excessive resistance that could lead to injury.

Our Testing Protocol:

• Systematic shear measurements using precision equipment

• Testing under various moisture and temperature conditions

• Analysis of traction consistency across different field zones

• Comparison with sport-specific performance requirements
