Redexim pairing supports Worcester Warriors

Redexim pairing supports Worcester Warriors: There’s an overwhelming ‘onwards and upwards’ spirit overarching operations at Sixways Stadium, home of the Worcester Warriors.

The positivity of the club spirit has been matched by investment in the facilities, with a pair of machines from Redexim’s award-winning artificial portfolio joining the armoury of Head Groundsman Jeff Green.

Redexim pairing supports Worcester Warriors

The club has endured a challenging few years but continues to offer a Sports Stadia for all. Sixways Stadium is home to various RFU events as well as local and community sports, including being home to two local football clubs utilising the pitches and training facilities at Sixways for fixtures. Across the two sites are two grass pitches, one full-size 3G pitch, one smaller 3G pitch at the indoor training centre and a further 3G pitch at the main stadium, uniquely installed with GEO X-TRE 60 infill from Limonta Sport. The conversion of the surfaces from rugby to football, along with the new infill material which includes sustainable coconut fibres, sparked the recent purchase of a Speed-Clean 1700 and Base-Rake from Redexim.

“I’ve known Redexim for a good few years, and offered to host one of their recent synthetic training events in conjunction with our local dealer Tallis Amos Group (TAG)” Jeff explains. “I couldn’t believe how effective all of the range was on our stadium pitch, but in particular how the Speed-Clean loosened up the infill and removed a staggering amount of debris from the depths of the pile. The club saw straight away what a difference investing in this pairing would make in our efforts to elevate the stadium pitch to the next level.”

The Redexim Speed-Clean is a land-driven sweeper that effectively lifts and separates infill from contaminants in a single pass. At 1.7m wide, it is wider than the club’s previous sweeper, presenting a significant time saving in enhancing surface cleanliness and safety. “Another factor that impressed us was the sympathetic way in which the Speed-Clean operated. Our pitch is eight years old so we need to balance its maintenance requirements with not being too aggressive.”

Jeff is utilising the Speed-Clean on a weekly basis and has seen a dramatic decrease in both compaction and the amount of contaminants being collected. When conditions allow, the weekly work with the Speed-Clean will be complemented with a pass of the Redexim Base-Rake after every 10 hours of play.

“As the only pitch in the country using the Geo infill for top flight Rugby, it acts differently and needs different treatment” Jeff adds, “It’s been brilliant working together with Redexim’s Paul Thomas and Colin McIntyre from TAG as we all look ahead positively – whether that’s, for us, the return of Worcester Warriors or Redexim who are clearly working hard to deliver maintenance solutions that are fit for the synthetic surfaces of the future.”

Green-tech’s first closed-loop subterranean irrigation system

April 24, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Green-tech’s first closed-loop subterranean irrigation system: Green-tech has launched the latest evolution of its renowned Mona irrigation system – Mona Pluvia, the first closed-loop subterranean irrigation system.

Building on over 40 years of research and development, Mona Pluvia transforms water management in urban environments, ensuring efficient and sustainable irrigation while minimising water wastage. This cutting-edge system includes technology that futureproofs a tried and tested irrigation method into a more intelligent use of water fit for our changing climate. The system cleverly collects and utilises rainwater to deliver essential hydration directly to tree and plant roots in urban areas.

Green-tech’s first closed-loop subterranean irrigation system

At the core of the Mona Irrigation System is passive irrigation technology, a natural, low-maintenance method of watering that includes processes such as capillary action. The subterranean yellow Mona tanks act as underground reservoirs, storing water at the root level and releasing it gradually as needed.

Key Benefits of Mona Pluvia

Intelligent Water Management: Automatically responds to soil moisture levels to deliver water precisely when needed.
Sustainable, Closed-Loop Water Use: This system captures and reuses rainwater, eliminating water wastage and reducing reliance on the mains supply.
Proven Capillary Action Technology: Works with nature to optimise plant hydration and root health.
Drought Resilience Built-In: Maintains consistent soil moisture during dry periods, reducing plant stress and improving survival rates.
Low-maintenance design: This design eliminates the need for regular surface watering, saving time, reducing run-off, and minimising labour costs.
Ideal for Urban & Hard Landscaping: Designed for city tree planting, parks, streetscapes, and green infrastructure projects.
Supports Climate Resilience: Helps urban areas adapt to changing rainfall patterns and water shortages.
Manufactured in the UK: Incorporating decades of irrigation experience.

The next generation of intelligent irrigation

Planting in urban environments is a key contributor to improving biodiversity within cities and towns. By harvesting and recycling rainwater, resources are utilised to reduce the impact of flooding by removing water from the sewerage network. Mona Pluvia works with the planting’s natural feeding pattern while recovering water that ordinarily enters an urban drainage network. This ensures a more natural hydration cycle for trees and plants and supports long-term sustainability in urban landscapes.

Specially designed sensors detect when the tank’s water level drops below a set threshold, prompting the pump to refill the Mona yellow tanks with harvested rainwater. This closed-loop system reduces water wastage while promoting a more natural and sustainable irrigation process.

A major year for Green-tech

In addition to launching Mona Pluvia, the TreeParker System was nominated for the Big Innovation Pitch at Futurebuild 2025. This recognition highlighted Green-tech’s ongoing commitment to revolutionising urban tree planting and sustainable drainage solutions (SuDS).

Seraya Sigsworth, Head of Green Blue infrastructure at Green-tech, comments, “Mona Pluvia presents a major step forward in sustainable urban irrigation. By harnessing rainwater, this system significantly reduces water waste while ensuring that trees and plants in urban environments receive the hydration they need. We unveiled this innovation at Futurebuild 2025, and I was delighted at how well it was received. Visitors to the stand appreciated how it could support them with projects to provide greener, more resilient cities.”

Taking green assets that naturally provide biodiversity and combining them with water management creates a true vision of sustainable blue-green infrastructure. For more information, please contact Green-tech on 01423 332100 or visit www.gtspecifier.co.uk
