Performance Standards
Acting as an independent consultant, TTS bases its design and performance on quality standards set out by sports governing bodies, i.e. The England and Wales Cricket Board, The Football Association, The IAAF, FIFA and the Institute of Groundsmanship.
The Performance Quality Standards (PQS) provide a recommended minimum quality standard for the maintenance and construction of pitches. Specifically, it sets the minimum standards recommended for natural and artificial grass pitches, which may be located within a park or recreational ground, through to the standards required for the provision of elite sports.
The PQS are divided into graded levels of quality (High, Standard and Basic) and reflect the type of surface that is tested, e.g. a basic standard will be used to assess a surface where resources are limited. Performance Quality Standards are a benchmarking system that can be used to specify the quality to which a facility is to be constructed and perform when in service.
