Report Summary

Introduction:
An independent analysis of the FieldTurf synthetic playing surface, relative to gmax and general field conditions, was
requested by the client. G-MAX Testing and Field Inspections were performed on the Project Field Richard Montgomery
High School Football Field on July 11, 2016.
Ten separate locations were tested for G-MAX values. Each test location had three G-MAX tests performed in order to
obtain the average G-MAX. The tests were performed using ASTM certified and calibrated equipment, and were
performed at locations on the field as determined by the ASTM F 1936-10 Specifications. The test results reported herein
reflect the performance of the points tested at the time of testing and at the temperatures reported.

Findings/Recommendations:
No site abnormalities were found and there were no deviations from standard test procedures. All test points met the
requirement of less than 200 average G-MAX when tested except for those indicated by Bold Red and shown in the Test
Result G-Max Table.

Observations/Recommendations: This field is laying over, matted down, the fibers are shedding and are showing signs of
excess fiber wear (especially in high wear areas – creases, penalty kicks, front of goals, center of field, etc.). The inlay lines are heavily
worn, more so than the green body of the field, and are brittle and breaking off. The field appears to receive a tremendous amount of
play. The field has had several repairs made to it (see photos). There were several “plugs” missing from field at area of soccer goals.
Also, additional infill is needed at creases, center of field, and at corner kick areas. I contacted King Sports and had them come out to
repair plugs and add infill to high wear areas. There are invasive grasses encroaching along the edges of the field that need to be
sprayed with Round-Up. There are also signs of slight planarity changes at several of the high wear areas (center of field, creases, and
penalty kick lines). They are not significant at this time, however, should be monitored. The shedding fiber, especially the inlays, need
to be monitored closely to see if the condition worsens. Continue annual GMAX testing to ensure proper performance of field. This
field is approaching the 8 year warranty period, I would make plans for replacement in the near future.
