PliFix

The smart indicator for sports areas, lawns and gardens - the most practical solution for marking buried objects or setting lines and boundaries

PliFix marking system is used at the Stade de France

What is Plifix?
PliFix is a synthetic grass implant used for marking and locating various items and measurements.

Once set into the ground, PliFix helps to indicate burried objects (tanks, irrigation systems and cables), show ground hazards and mark out building sites, camp sites etc.

When used on sports areas they provide an ideal may to mark positions on the playing surface with Plifix clearly visable in the grass. Due to their design, Plifix can either be left in the ground perminantley or moved as and when required. PliFix provide an excellent way for grounsman to mark areas and were even used on the pitches at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France.

PliFix can be used to mark hidden objects

How does Plifix Work?
PliFix is available in a number of different colours. This allows you to use different coulored markers in order to mark different types of objects. For example red can be used to mark electricity cables, blue water piepes and sprinklers and white to mark lines for sports pitches.

PliFix markers are placed in the ground to a pre-determined depth so that their coloured synthetic grass tops remain visable. When the grass is next cut these also get trimmed to the correct level. This means that although still clearly visable they remain equal with the length of the grass. For a better idea simply watch the slideshow below.

Step 1

The area is carefully measured and the correct point is idendified

Step 2

The special driving tool is supplied with PliFix

Step 3

The special driving tool is placed over the PliFix marker

Step 4

A few strikes of the mallet until the stop marker is reached - see the next few slides

Step 5

Sand is then poured over the marker to bring it up to ground level

Installation Complete

The PliFix marker is now in place and is trimmed to the correct length by the next mow

How can PliFix be used:

On sports fields to mark out areas of play
To mark underground pipework, irrigation systems and cable routes
To clearly display borders and boundaries such as on building sites
Different colour options allow you to clearly differentiate between different types of markers. For example white for field markings, blue for sprinkler heads or red for electricity.

To Sum Up:
Fast - When the season starts or after breaks PliFix is there ready for lines to be painted. There is no need to measure out again.
Practical - With a few strikes of a mallet using the driving tool the markers are soon in the ground
Discreet - White markers used to mark white lines are no longer visable once the lines have been painted
Useful - Football on Saturday then rugby on Sunday - no problem! Its easy to locate all the points on the sam field
