05 O<strong>the</strong>r Considerations5.1 WarrantiesIt is important to obtain warranties <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> entire system <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>individual component especially <strong>the</strong> netting <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> extent to which<strong>the</strong> netting remains under warranty especially <strong>the</strong> maintenanceimplications.5.2 Risk SurveyWhen considering systems it is a good idea to carry out a risk survey,as indicated in <strong>the</strong> Appendix.5.3 TrainingIt is advisable <strong>for</strong> at least two people from an organisation or club toattend courses on <strong>the</strong> <strong>installation</strong>, management <strong>and</strong> maintenance <strong>of</strong><strong>non</strong>-<strong>turf</strong> cricket facilities. Fur<strong>the</strong>r details <strong>of</strong> courses can be obtainedthrough <strong>the</strong> Institute <strong>of</strong> Groundsmanship (www.iog.org).5.4 Management <strong>and</strong> MaintenanceThe installer <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> supplier should make <strong>the</strong> owner <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>appointed representative fully aware <strong>of</strong> how to maintain <strong>and</strong> manage<strong>the</strong> facility. This includes training <strong>and</strong> providing a detailed Code <strong>of</strong>Practice <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> facility.5.5 EvaluationWhen selecting a system it is important to evaluate what is available<strong>and</strong> how long <strong>the</strong> facility will last. Numerous methods <strong>of</strong> evaluationhave been used over <strong>the</strong> years. The most simplistic has been to take<strong>the</strong> total costs <strong>of</strong> <strong>installation</strong>, plus <strong>the</strong> management cost, divided by<strong>the</strong> potential usage (See Example 1):Example 1:Period <strong>of</strong> time <strong>the</strong> facilities will be used be<strong>for</strong>e a new top structure isrequired 10 years.Cost <strong>and</strong> Usage Per Annum(One net facility)Installation cost: £6,500Management cost:£1,500 per annumUsage (adult) per annum: 1600 user hoursTotal Cost over Ten YearsInstallation cost: £6,500Maintenance cost: £15,000Total Cost: £21,500.00Usage: 1600 user hours x 10 = 16000£21,500.00 divided by 16,000 user hours = £1.34 per user hour.Note: A user hour is one person <strong>for</strong> one hour.
