As Akova İnşaat, we bring our deep-rooted experience in the construction and infrastructure sector since 1999 to the construction of sports facilities, especially football fields. As a result of modern sports understanding and increasing expectations, football fields have evolved from being just a playing area into safe and aesthetic living spaces that directly affect athletes' performance. With this awareness, Akova İnşaat offers comprehensive solutions for constructing durable and long-lasting football fields in accordance with international standards. Our company's expertise in infrastructure and superstructure projects enables us to meticulously handle every detail of football field construction, from ground surveys to drainage systems, turf application to landscaping.
Detailed planning and engineering lie at the heart of every successful project. Our football field construction process begins with a comprehensive analysis of the area where the field will be built. At this stage, factors such as ground surveys, topographical measurements, climatic conditions, and existing infrastructure possibilities are evaluated. A design is created in accordance with the standards set by national and international sports federations (e.g., FIFA), taking into account field dimensions, orientation, slope, and environmental interactions. Akova İnşaat's experienced engineering team works to provide the most efficient and sustainable solutions at every stage of the project. This planning process is customized according to the future use of the field (professional matches, training fields, amateur leagues, etc.), and the acquisition of all legal permits is managed within this scope.
The quality of a football field is directly related to its unseen infrastructure systems. Akova İnşaat's deep experience in infrastructure projects manifests itself at this stage. Preparing the field's ground, installing proper drainage systems, and creating a stable sub-base ensure the field's longevity and usability in all weather conditions. Within the scope of earthworks, leveling, filling, and excavation operations are carried out with great precision. Soil compaction rates are determined and applied in accordance with the technical specifications required by the project. One of the most critical elements, the drainage system, ensures the rapid and effective discharge of rainwater, preventing water accumulation on the field surface. This is vital for both game quality and the preservation of the field's ground. Akova İnşaat offers solutions that extend the field's lifespan by using the most modern and durable materials in these systems.
Following infrastructure work, a series of layers are built on the field's ground. These layers are designed to increase the field's stability, provide shock absorption, and create a suitable base for the turf surface. Generally, a structure that facilitates water drainage and simultaneously provides sufficient firmness to the ground is created using gravel and sand layers of different sizes. Especially in synthetic turf fields, the application of a shock-absorbing layer (shock pad), which directly affects player health and performance, is of great importance. This layer increases impact absorption during falls, reducing the risk of injury and enhancing playing comfort. Akova İnşaat bases its selection and application of these layers on the safety and performance standards of international sports federations.
The turf surface, which is the most visible and critical component of a football field, can be selected as natural grass or synthetic turf according to the project's purpose and budget.
- Natural Grass Fields: Preferred for traditional football fields, natural grass is created with special seed mixtures or ready-to-lay roll turf applications. Although natural grass fields require special maintenance (watering, fertilizing, aeration, mowing), they offer players a unique playing experience. Akova İnşaat has expertise in appropriate ground preparation, drainage, and irrigation system integration for natural grass fields.
- Synthetic Turf Fields: Synthetic turf fields are an ideal solution, especially in cases of intensive use or when maintenance costs need to be kept low. New-generation synthetic turf products offer a playing experience quite close to natural grass, while requiring much less maintenance and being usable in all weather conditions. In synthetic turf applications, the laying of the turf carpet, joining of seams, and homogeneous spreading of granular infill materials (rubber granules, silica sand, etc.) are carried out with great meticulousness.
- FIFA Quality Standards: FIFA Quality or FIFA Quality Pro certifications are of great importance for professional football fields. Akova İnşaat has the capacity to construct internationally recognized fields with material selection and application techniques compliant with these standards.
- Material Supply: Thanks to our experience in construction material sales, we can supply all materials, from sub-turf infill materials (sand, gravel) to synthetic turf products, under the most favorable conditions and quality.
- Application Expertise: Turf laying and infill processes are carried out by specialized equipment and experienced teams to guarantee the homogeneity and playing quality of the field.
- Longevity: Correct material selection and professional application ensure that the field can be used with high performance for many years.
Akova İnşaat aims to meet the expectations of athletes and clubs by offering the most suitable solution for the project's requirements in both turf types.
A football field project is not just about the playing area. Environmental elements and auxiliary systems complete the field's functionality and user experience. In this context, Akova İnşaat can also integrate the following additional services into projects:
Lighting Systems: Sufficient and homogeneous lighting for night matches and training sessions is indispensable for modern football fields. Energy-efficient LED lighting systems are designed and installed in accordance with international broadcasting standards.
Landscaping and Security: Fences, ball-stop nets, spectator stands, and security barriers around the field are designed and constructed to ensure the safety of both players and spectators. Akova İnşaat improves the overall appearance of the field with landscaping arrangements that combine aesthetics and functionality.
Irrigation Systems (For Natural Grass): Automatic irrigation systems are of great importance for the health and vitality of natural grass on natural turf fields. Akova İnşaat integrates modern systems that save water, are programmable, and can provide homogeneous irrigation into projects.
Changing Rooms and Social Facilities: In comprehensive projects, the construction of modern changing rooms, showers, toilets, and other social facilities for players and referees also falls within Akova İnşaat's area of expertise. These structures are designed to be comfortable and functional, leveraging our company's experience in superstructure construction.
Scoreboards and Sound Systems: Scoreboards and sound systems, which enrich the match experience, can also be included in projects upon request.
