The first innovative hybrid turf system for high-performance and safe sports pitches because traction, stability and softness of the playing surface are characteristics players seek and only POWERgrass offers them 365 days a year.

POWERgrass combines the advantages of natural grass with the resistance of synthetic grass to offer a reinforced natural grass pitch for up to 30 hours a week.

POWERgrass has as a strategic objective the more efficient use of resources in a circular economy to promote the environment and employment.

POWERgrass has a positive environmental impact because it follows the teachings of regenerative agriculture which contributes to lower temperatures, carbon sequestration and air purification. Anchoring the natural grass to the synthetic turf preserves the soil from erosion and prevents damage from flooding.

The life cycle of the system is estimated at more than 20 years when combined with regular maintenance of the natural grass because it protects the synthetic fibres from UV radiation and achieves a perfect symbiosis of natural and synthetic grass.

The system requires reduced maintenance because it provides the ideal habitat for growing natural grass, which is more resistant to intensive trampling and therefore generates savings of more than 30% over its life cycle compared to other sports surfaces.

POWERgrass will never let you down because it is always playable, even when natural grass is missing for any reason.

In the interview our partner Graham Longdin and our expert Niko Sarris confirm the validity of POWERgrass!

In our latest realisation for the upgrading of the 'Riviera delle Palme' stadium in San Benedetto del Tronto, we outdid ourselves by handing over the pitch for play 17 days after seeding. After more than 40 matches, training sessions and finishing touches, the pitch has survived even a harsh and rainy winter without a single divot, and President Serafino's compliments have arrived with good reason.

Hybrid Grass

The POWERgrass^® hybrid grass system offers the benefits of natural grass and has a significant impact on all six environmental objectives, providing a sustainable and resilient pitch because the system's hybrid carpet protects plants from frequent play and thermal stress (caused by hot or cold weather). The POWERgrass^® pitch allows your team to play and train on the same surface for many hours safely and without holes, providing a pitch that is playable even on synthetic fibres if the natural grass thins out, which allows you to drastically reduce maintenance costs and schedule maintenance properly. The ban on the use of rubber crumb on synthetic pitches in the 27 countries of the European Union makes the POWERgrass hybrid grass pitch system the most effective alternative in every respect.

Natural and synthetic grass, if well combined, provide double benefits

POWERgrass^® hybrid grass offers the ideal solution for players, investors and groundsmen of the sport fields. The hybrid turf system incorporates up to 3% synthetic turf to counteract the wear and tear of natural grass. The remaining 97% of the turf is covered by natural grass. Our aim is to offer a surface that is always playable and above all free of divots.

Ecology And Savings

The POWERgrass hybrid system is in line with the 'Do No Significant Harm' (DNSH) principle for the environment, which is fundamental for accessing RRF funding. It offers the opportunity to create an innovative and effective pitch to meet all six objectives of the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) because: (a) promotes the ecological transition by disseminating notions of ecological maintenance of sports pitches that can also be extended to the agricultural sector, (b) monitors growing conditions and remotely manages installed systems using digital technology, (c) strengthens the growth of SMEs investing in innovation and formation, (d) provides opportunities for international social cohesion by organising tournaments with PRO teams, (e) has a positive impact on health and the environment and is resilient to climate change, and (f) promotes new skills that stimulate the critical, civic and collaborative sense of young operators. The POWERgrass hybrid system with constant but low maintenance can last up to 30 years and is reusable at the end of its life cycle.

Environmental concerns on the part of institutions

Insights

Contrary to what many people think, to create a good hybrid grass system it is not enough to make a synthetic turf with lots of holes. In addition to the hybrid carpet, which must have certain characteristics, an in-depth study of agronomy is required to create a favourable habitat for the plants, which must benefit from the presence of the carpet. Finally, a maintenance plan must be drawn up for each hybrid system, depending on how well it is adapted to the environment and the intensity of its use.

The main problem in designing an excellent hybrid system is to combine the skills of technicians from two different worlds, natural grass and synthetic turf.
