00:00Okay, so this is a representation of the profile of the soil so this is down level so you can see there
00:06There are thin fibers above the surface or an element of force
00:09But most of the activity and most of the stitching is beneath the ground so that is a stitching down to 90 mm depth
00:17It's a beige fiber
00:19And we do different colored yarns depending on the the look of the pitch so we can do a green yarn a mixture of green
00:25And beige but for the main stadiums in India we've been installing the beige yarn
00:29So it doesn't show up in the pitches below the ground the roots will grow around the fiber
00:35Which anchors the fibers into place they'll also grow deeper, so it makes the grass plant healthier
00:43There's a natural air space that exists around the fibers
00:46So what you'll find is water nutrients the air will get down to the roots of the grass a lot easier
00:52So again it strengthens a grass plant and makes it a lot healthier
00:56If you've got a healthier grass plant you get a better grass coverage across the whole pitch
01:03And the fibers above the surface always sit underneath the grass plant so when we install a pitch
01:10If the curator for instance installs or cuts his pitches down to 5 mm
01:16As his finished cutting height for the pitch we'll install the fibers and cut them off at 4 mm
01:21So it's always underneath the grass plant so the grass is the first thing the ball will hit it will not hit the fibers
01:29The idea is that the
01:33playing characteristics of the pitch do not change because it again it's
01:38Reinforcing the fact that it's still 95% natural turf and there's only 5% fiber within the surface
