Summary
Specialized profession focused on artificial turf installation, performing a series of tasks from ground adjustment to seam processing, fixing, and drainage equipment installation.
Description
Artificial turf installers handle the work of installing artificial turf beautifully and durably in sports facilities, parks, residential gardens, rooftop greening, and more. The process begins with ground stabilization and leveling, followed by laying weed prevention sheets or drainage pipes as needed. Next, artificial turf rolls are cut, and seams are precisely processed using adhesives or seam tapes. The surface is stabilized through compaction work using fixing pins or weights. Finally, perimeter edging is installed, and infill materials such as silica sand are filled to ensure quality and safety. Heavy outdoor labor and team coordination are crucial, requiring construction planning and safety management tailored to seasons and weather.
Future Outlook
Demand for artificial turf in urban greening and sports facilities is expanding, promising stable job opportunities. As eco-friendly materials and high-performance surfaces evolve, the value of specialized technicians will increase, though labor shortages remain a challenge.
