KEEPING THE PLAYING FIELD LEVEL

For the first time, the sports fields in Fairfield County are having their line markers painted with a satellite-controlled robotic innovation called Turf Tank.
Rocco Lagana, president of Greenway Athletic Field Services, said, “We are demonstrating our commitment to provide leading-edge technology to our athletic field programs. This Turf Tank allows field lines to be drawn accurately every time because the equipment remembers the field layout and duplicates it every time using satellite guidance. And it’s done in a fraction of the time several workers historically needed. That means faster drying times leading to less wait-times to use the fields.”
Turf Tank joins Greenway’s other newest field enhancement technology – ABI Force, a laser-guided field grading system that identifies irregularities across the entire playing surface, removing irregularities (like puddles or standing water, heavy play areas, inconsistent, unsmooth playing surfaces and dips or holes) that can delay playing times and can harm players.
Greenway Athletic Field Services is a specialty division of Greenway Property Services, a Stamford-based landscaping company with over 135 years of combined experience across a variety of outdoor environments and challenges.
