Sports Pitch Base Systems

Sports pitch base systems made with tyre-derived material (TDM) offer a high-performance, sustainable foundation for synthetic (3G) playing surfaces. These engineered sub-surfaces provide exceptional shock absorption, drainage and durability — enhancing player safety and surface longevity.

One example is the Flexisport® system, developed by Flexiroc. This dual-layer, suspended, free-draining base is designed specifically for football, rugby and other field sports. It delivers intrinsic area-elastic performance without the need for a separate shockpad or tarmac layer — meeting all required sports testing criteria.

Key benefits:

• Engineered shock absorbency to reduce player injury risk
• Compatible with all 3G synthetic turf systems
• No additional shockpad or tarmac layer required
• Free-draining design supports year-round playability
• Cost-effective installation and maintenance

These base systems are ideal for local councils, schools, sports clubs and developers seeking safer, more sustainable infrastructure for high-use playing fields.
