Contamination Pan

The accumulation and consolidation of contaminants that are present below the depth of routine power brushing in a synthetic turf surface. Basically, contaminated material will filter down through the infill. Where it becomes located below the depth at which power brushing occurs then it won’t be removed and starts to create a layer that reduces downwards water movement, increasing the likelihood of waterlogging occurring. The density of a contamination pan can increase the surface hardness experienced by players, negatively impacting on rebound bounce and limbs, reducing the quality of the overall playing experience.
