Hellas installs new turf for Tennessee Titans’ practice facility

Hellas Construction recently installed a new synthetic turf system at the Ascension Saint Thomas Sports Park facility at the Tennessee Titans.

“Nothing is more important to Hellas than providing a quality product and safe playing surface for athletes,” Reed Seaton, president and CEO of Hellas Construction, said. “The Tennessee Titans needed renovations to their indoor facility and Hellas crew completed the renovation in less than four weeks.”

Hellas removed the existing turf and installed a new 90-yard turf system with a Cushdrain shock pad, Matrix Helix and Geo Coolfill infill.

Cushdrain is an elastic layer paved in place over a laser-graded drainstone foundation that provides a flat surface and holds its form through multiple life cycles. The shock pad helps protect athletes from injuries caused by hard impacts with the surface.

Geo Coolfill infill is a 100 percent organic material that yields up to 40 degrees reduction in field surface temperature, optimal energy restitution and superior foot control.

Matrix Helix has shape memory technology that curls each fiber to secure the infill to prevent migration and “splash-out” for a uniform playing surface. Hellas RealFill infill provides fiber support, energy restitution, enhanced shock absorption and rapid drainage to prevent compaction under heavy use for consistent G-Max over time.

“It’s always a pleasure working with Hellas,” Adam Nuse, vice president of business operations for the Titans, said. “Their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched in the industry and exactly what our athletes need so they continue to perform at the highest level.”
