Gecko Sustainable Sports Fields

Gecko's Sustainable Sports Field System is the ultimate sustainable solution offering the asset manager/owner enormous benefits and ultimately provides a self sustaining system.
 

Benefits include:

• Provides a reliable sports facility that can be used 365 days a year and consequently benefits the community
• Promotes healthy living and combats the obesity issue
• Encourages team play and discourages anti-social behaviour
• A surface that requires very little maintenance, hence reducing all associated costs
• A reliable form of income from club and community use
• A Solution which omits the need for fertilizer and it's associated costs as well as any ground chemicalcontamination which can be harmful to the environment
• A safer and more consistent play surface in either wet or dry conditions
• Is safe and meets the latest AFL standard including Critical Fall Height AS/NZS 4422:1996 and friction test
• Provides a water source to use on surrounding ovals/fields and parks and gardens
• Reduces water running into the ocean and the need for desalination plants
• Eliminates the need to extract water fro irrigation from our exhausted water storage facilities
• Water collection increases from 24% to 98% when harvesting in conjuction with a synthetic grass surface
• Enables water collection from other urban surfaces such as roofs, pavements, roads and carparks

The sustainable sports field system collects water as it seeps through the synthetic grass surface and captures it in an underground reservoir. This water can then be used to water other neighbouring grounds, gardens or landscaping. As water restrictions continue to be enforced, this unique system captures fresh water that would otherwise be lost. The System in Action (patent pending)
