Hellas Sports Construction’s Commitment To Quality Reinforced By Exceptional Test Results

May 10, 2012



Lisport testing may assist facility managers and owners in the artificial turf procurement process

AUSTIN, TX (May 8, 2012) - Matrix® Turf, by Hellas Construction, displayed exceptional durability during tests performed in April by OFI – Austria’s largest cooperative testing and research institute. Lisport testing was performed on the sample in increments of 5,000 cycles – each cycle equivalent to one hour of use with cleated shoes. The test is designed to simulate wear on synthetic surfaces, and in this case, specifically for high-traffic artificial athletic fields.

OFI ran 60,000 cycles of Lisport testing on a new sample of Matrix® Turf and observed minimal signs of damage. These results serve as just one point of comparison for potential buyers when considering purchasing a synthetic athletic field. The turf fibers represent about 15% of an artificial athletic field. The quality of the playing surface also depends on the base, drainage, pads and infill. Additionally, one should carefully evaluate construction and installation quality, along with warranty and support, and speak with several references before awarding a contract.

“We’ve invested a lot into the development of our Matrix® Turf systems. We continually improve the yarn and manufacturing process, and I’m pleased to see such exceptional results,” said Reed J. Seaton, CEO of Hellas Construction, Inc. “It substantiates our commitment to quality.”

Established in 1946, OFI is an accredited testing laboratory for chemistry and technology. The Lisport machine is recognized as the industry standard for testing synthetic surfaces, and conforms to the “FIFA Quality Concept for Football Turf Handbook of Test Methods” (May, 2009 edition).
