Netlon Advanced Turf System (Netlon ATS) is a high performance mesh-element reinforced natural grass rootzone system. It provides an aesthetic, SuDS compliant free-draining grassed surface, capable of sustaining heavy vehicle loadings in occasional-use applications.
Mesh elements interlock with specially blended rootzone, providing a grass reinforcement solution.
The Netlon Advanced Turf System (ATS400/B) is a load-bearing, natural grass reinforced surface with no visible surface structures or trip hazards. It provides a safe, free-draining, wear tolerant reinforced grassed surface which resists compaction and surface rutting, whilst sustaining increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic (up to HGV loadings) when provided with an appropriately designed sub-base.
Advanced Turf consists of a high quality, sandy soil rootzone into which thousands of playing card sized polypropylene Netlon plastic mesh elements are pre-blended. The composite mesh reinforced rootzone and selected turf are delivered to site as a system. Once the Advanced Turf grass reinforcement rootzone system is installed and as the roots develop, they entwine with the plastic mesh elements to form a strong, extremely stable / deep anchored root system that is maintained as a standard grassed surface.
Advanced Turf can be specified as a component of SuDS Source Control and in many trafficked applications such as: Grassed Fire/Emergency Access routes, Cherry Picker/Service access, Helipads/airfields, Roof gardens, Overflow parking, Multi-use events areas, Amenity lawns, Walkways and Sculptured slopes <55º.
How does Advanced Turf Work?
The flexible high tensile strength Netlon Mesh Elements interlock and interact with each other and within the sandy soil, to create a structural reinforced rootzone which can resist compaction, remain free-draining and sustain a durable natural grass load bearing surface.
Without Netlon ATS, rutting occurs as the applied vehicle wheel loads are not distributed efficiently through the soils. However, with the Advanced Turf grass reinforcement system the load is transferred efficiently, meaning that higher vehicle loads can be applied without the risk of rutting occurring.
Advanced Turf is supported by over a decade of civil engineering and turf grass research and there are over forty published research papers about Netlon ATS.
