What's under the stick.

FIH Global wet systems use dense synthetic turf with an integrated irrigation layer. The water film on the surface creates the fast, true ball roll that defines elite hockey.

Turf Surface
18 mm

18mm texturised monofilament turf, FIH Global certified. Dense pile for wet-surface play. No sand infill — the water film provides the playing characteristics.

Irrigation Layer
—

Integrated subsurface irrigation with pop-up sprinklers at 5m centres. Delivers uniform water film across the full pitch. Automated control with soil moisture sensors.

Elastic Layer
12 mm

12mm EPDM shock pad. Provides player comfort and controlled ball bounce. Perforated for vertical drainage >500mm/hr during heavy irrigation.

Drainage Stone
150 mm

150mm graded aggregate (20–40mm) on geotextile. Designed for high-volume drainage during irrigation cycles. Compacted to 95% density.

Subgrade
—

Engineered soil subgrade with 1.5% cross-fall. Geotextile separator prevents fines migration. CBR ≥10% for load-bearing under irrigation cycles.

Common Questions

Things buyers want to know.

If your question is not answered here, drop us a line — we reply within 24 hours.

Water-based vs sand-filled — which is better?

Water-based: 22mm pile with water irrigation system — the FIH Global standard for international competition. Fastest, most consistent ball roll, but requires water system maintenance and higher cost. Sand-filled: 15mm pile with sand only — FIH National standard, lower maintenance, more affordable. Choose water-based for elite competition; sand-filled for clubs and schools.

How long does hockey turf installation take?

A full 91.4m x 55m pitch: 5 to 8 weeks. This includes: earthworks, drainage, stone base, shock pad, turf installation, infill, line marking, and irrigation system (for water-based). Water-based systems add 1 week for irrigation installation and testing.

What is the maintenance for water-based turf?

Water-based requires: daily irrigation (automated sprinkler system), weekly brushing, monthly water quality checks, quarterly irrigation system inspection, and annual GMAX testing. The water system includes storage tank, pump, and pipe network. Annual maintenance cost is higher than sand-filled but delivers superior play.

What does it cost per square foot?

Water-based FIH Global: ₹170–240 per sqft — 22mm pile with automated irrigation system, the international competition standard. Sand-filled FIH National: ₹75–110 per sqft — 15mm pile with silica sand infill, lower maintenance and more affordable. A full 91.4m × 55m pitch ranges from ₹45 lakhs to ₹1.3+ crores depending on surface grade, irrigation system, and base preparation.

Can you dual-certify for football too?

Yes, we offer dual FIH + FIFA certified turf systems. The pitch dimensions work for both sports (hockey: 91.4x55m, football 5-a-side: similar). We install multi-sport line markings and configure infill to meet both standards. This maximises facility utilisation and is popular with schools and clubs.

Do you provide goals and rebound boards?

Yes, we supply FIH-certified goal sets (aluminium or steel), rebound boards (temporary or permanent), side and backboard systems, and practice board targets. Full pitch accessory packages are available.
