Innovative Undersoil Heating Solutions
Revolutionising undersoil heating and irrigation with intelligent technology
Our advanced system provides thermostatically controlled heating across the entire playing surface, ensuring optimal temperatures for healthy plant growth. By significantly reducing long-term costs, our solution promotes robust root development and maintains high-quality grass, even in colder weather or under frequent use. This enhances sustainability and efficiency and ensures dependable heating, minimising the risk of game cancellations due to subpar field conditions.
Our proprietary technology is currently being employed by teams including AFC Bournemouth and Sunderland AFC.
We are a total solutions provider for all your pitch heating and irrigation needs. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including:
• Customised design and full system installation
• Replacement equipment (e.gboilers, pumps, pipework)
• Expert Servicing and Maintenance
• Sensor and Control Installation
Thermostatically controlled under pitch heating
To address the shortcomings of traditional pitch heating solutions, Subterra offers a fully warranted and cost-efficient alternative.
Our solution ensures thermostatically controlled heating across the entire playing surface, calibrated to maintain the optimum temperature for plant health and growth. This makes it more sustainable, cost-efficient, and dependable, ensuring heating is available and deployed as required to avoid game cancellation
Integrated temperature and vapour sensors
Our system integrates temperature and vapor sensors both in the ground and the surrounding environment. These sensors work to maintain the optimal pitch temperature between 12°C and 15°C.
Optimal Temperature for Plant Health Growth.
Leading agronomists confirm that maintaining constant optimum temperatures for both the playing surface and grass roots, which the system can be calibrated to achieve, is beneficial for plant growth and health. A temperature range of 12-15°C is ideal for grass surfaces, as it allows for proper evaporation without causing excessive water loss. This optimal temperature also promotes root growth and health by facilitating efficient water and nutrient uptake.
Expert Design and Installation.
System design and installation are managed by our award-winning mechanical, electrical, and specialist service engineering team. This team has designed, supplied, and installed boiler systems for the public sector, retail, residential, healthcare, sports, and leisure industries. Recent clients include Liverpool FC, Fulham FC, AFC Wimbledon, Notts County FC, and AFC Bournemouth.
Cost Efficiency
Dramatic reductions in energy usage and costs compared to traditional systems, transforming the pitch infrastructure into a year-round cooling and heating asset. This not only stimulates grass growth but also enhances recovery time for damaged areas by over 300%.
