Decompaction Service

Have you got Compaction Problems ....

.... we provide a compaction management service using the latest and largest rotary decompactor. The Decompactor provides control of compaction and improves capability down to depths of 550 mm, few other machines come close.

The Decompactor improves soil structure by establishing a system of deep cracks and fissures and so ids the downward movement of air, water and roots through to a greater depth of the soil profile, thus improving drainage in wet years and increasing resistanceto drought in dry years.

Why Improve Soil Structure ....

Poor soil structure is probably one of the biggest causes of failure in sports surfaces. Yet it often goes unrecognised.

A soil's structure is the way the natural blocks or aggregates are arranged around one another.

Roots need visible cracks that contain air and a film of water, to properly exploit the soil and provide a firm foothold for growth.

It doesn't matter whether you are working with the natural soil or a purpose-laid surface, without a well aerated, loosely structured soil, roots won't grow.

Any activity that uses the turf results in compaction and this restricts or damages existing roots. The modern demands of continuous play and heavy pedestrian and mechanical traffic in wet conditions exacerbate this to a point where air and water cannot provide the essential components for the plant roots to survive.

The Benefits of Using 'Shockwave'

Not only will the Decompactor provide the soil enhancing benefits of re-structuring the profile, but unlike many tined systems, the machine does not create unsightly holes or a surface disruptive to play.
 
Improving soil structure with sound management and the use of Sport Organics technology will improve the health of your soil and turf by:

• Increasing large pore space, air porosity and infiltration,
• Reducing surface ponding and capping,
• Improving root growth and increasing drought resistance thereby reducing irrigation needs,
• Improving turf disease resistance, by optimising air soil ratios turf develops healthy roots and increases its resistance to disease,
• Improving biodiversity of the soil,
• Reducing black layer,
• Improving rooting depth and density.
