Gloucestershire FA’s 3G Pitch

SIS Plus Maintenance Assist Gloucestershire FA’s 3G Pitch

The Client – Gloucestershire FA

Gloucestershire FA relies on its 3G pitch for regular use by the association and the local community. Heavy usage makes maintaining the surface’s quality, safety, and performance critical.

The Background

Installed by SIS Pitches in 2013, the pitch at Gloucestershire FA has benefited from ongoing maintenance by SIS Plus, SIS Pitches’ dedicated in-house maintenance division. This long-term partnership highlights the value of a customised maintenance program in preserving the pitch’s quality and lifespan.

The Brief
  • Provide scheduled maintenance to maintain the 3G pitch’s performance, safety, and longevity.
  • Address issues related to infill compaction, debris, and overall surface quality.
  • What we did: Brushing and cleaning.

Infill Top-Up

Over time, infill material can compact or be displaced due to usage, weather, and machinery. To address this, our team:

  • Delivered an 8-tonne infill top-up using specialised machinery.
  • Restored infill levels to maintain fibre protection, optimise surface performance, and extend the pitch’s lifespan.

  • For Gloucestershire FA: Regular maintenance preserves the pitch’s performance and protects their long-term investment.
  • For the Community: A well-maintained pitch continues to serve local clubs and community groups, supporting grassroots sports.

“We’re pleased to work with Gloucestershire FA who have been a loyal client of ours for 7 years now. We originally installed their pitch in 2013, and have completed regular scheduled maintenance for them every year since, which really shows when you look at the quality of the pitch.The pitch has been rigorously tested to the highest standards and passed, which shows the value of the service our team provides.”
