This decompaction operation is carried out with a special combing unit with metal springs that penetrate down to the silica, removing and aerating the elastic layer.
It is towed by a tractor unit with wide wheels and a weight suitable for not damaging the turf.
The operation is carried out across the width of the field or along the length of the field depending on the initial gluing of the rolls of artificial turf, never decompact in the opposite direction to the gluing, as it could detach and weaken the joints that are glued with polyurethane glue.
This operation should be done at least twice a year.

The operation is carried out with a triangular implement with flexible brushes that distribute the elastic load and return the pile to its initial laying position.
This operation is carried out in oval mode along the length and width of the field, with a special hydrostatic tractor with a wide wheel, so as not to damage the synthetic turf.
Brushing should never be done with a car or similar, the wheels could cause burns in the artificial grass or wrinkles, also the car has an excessive weight and can compact the SBR rubber granules.

After brushing and decompacting the artificial turf, all the joints and lines are visually checked to clean and clean them and then repaired with bicomponent polyurethane glue and geotextile.
This operation is vital for the field because a breakage causes a premature wear of the synthetic turf and then the repair does not match one cloth with another and a patch with new turf should be made, which would not look aesthetically good.

The weeds are manually removed from the surface, then using a backpack, a herbicide treatment is applied to the affected areas and around the field with a non-abrasive product for artificial turf.

The gutters are cleaned by removing 1 out of every 4 gratings and blowing strongly with a backpack blower, cleaning the entire gutter.
If the gutter has not been disassembled for a long time and there are problems to remove them due to broken screws, new ones must be put in, since the gutter grating must remain perfectly attached without any sharp protrusion for the player’s safety.

At the end of the maintenance operations, a technical report is made informing about: state of the field planimetry, state of fiber aging and degree of defibrillation if fibrillated or prefibrillated, levels of elastic fillers with the amount of filler to be provided for optimal use, state of the visual field.
