MobyDick in Iceland: Innovative turf care on football pitches
March 18, 2024What does a football pitch have in common with a building site? At first glance, the answer may seem surprising, but both benefit from MobyDick dust control technology. In Iceland’s breathtaking scenery, characterised by changeable weather, indoor halls create a weather-independent playing environment for football enthusiasts. Here, MobyDick’s dust control systems make a significant contribution to the maintenance of artificial turf pitches.
These systems significantly improve the air quality in the halls by effectively capturing dust and fine particles. This minimises the risk of respiratory problems and allergic reactions among players and spectators – a critical aspect in enclosed spaces. In addition, the moisture regulation of the artificial turf ensures even and predictable ball behaviour, which makes the game fairer and more controllable and allows the players’ talents to shine. At the same time, the moisture reduces the risk of injury from slipping or falling.
The use of a MobyDick dust control system not only helps to improve playing conditions, but also promotes the longevity and cost-effectiveness of the artificial turf. By keeping the turf fibres in an ideal condition, the useful life of the turf is extended, which in turn leads to considerable savings in maintenance costs.
But MobyDick technology also offers significant benefits on open football pitches by combining targeted moisture control with water efficiency while preserving the turf structure. This technology distributes water precisely while preventing soil compaction and water build-up, resulting in a healthier, more resilient turf. This not only optimises lawn care, but also saves valuable water.
