Tarmac surface
Brief description of works: Take up the existing synthetic grass and shockpad, load into skips and remove from site; this surface will be replaced with Tiger Turf WETT Pro laid onto a new 'insitu' shockpad.
Preparation: Take up the existing synthetic grass and shockpad and remove from site.
Shockpad: Lay 12mm insitu rubber crumb shockpad using 2- 6mm SBR commercial rubber granules bound with polyurethane binder 8% by weight.
Synthetic Grass: Supply and lay Tiger Turf WETT Pro. With full size hockey lines to
International Hockey Federation (FIH) dimensions.
The project was to begin on the 3rd July and be complete by 30th August 2013. The site was handed over to the principle contractor to ensure compliance with Construction Design and Management Regulations 2007 (CDM), and the contractor supplied the information pack that includes Quality Policy, Certificates, Insurance and site health and safety, including method statements and risk assessments to the school and ensured that their work area was sealed.
The 3rd July arrived and the site began to take shape with the work starting almost immediately. The first job was to build the compound and to secure the site with regards to CDM regulations. Once this had been completed, the surface carpet and shockpad were removed - at this point, it was the first time the tarmac base had been viewed for twelve years and it was an opportunity to assess its condition and integrity.
The base proved to be in good condition, but with the requirement to deal with a couple of level issues, and to give the tarmac surface a thorough clean with a pressure washer to remove the debris that had migrated through the drainage holes in the carpet over twelve years to provide
Once the paint and shockpad had cured it was on to the process of laying the carpet
even drainage over the entire surface.
Both of these stages were vital to the success of the project because surface levels and drainage are crucial to the playing characteristics for hockey.
Once the tarmac surface levels had been addressed, the cleaning had been completed and the quality agreed, it was then on to the next stage which was the laying of the insitu shockpad. This was agreed to be a 12mm insitu rubber crumb shockpad using 2-6mm SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) commercial rubber granules bound with polyurethane binder 8% by weight. This process, when completed, was then allowed to cure for seven days.
Also, as part of the project and during this period, the tarmac that surrounded the carpet was replaced and colour coated to enhance the playing environment.
Once the paint and shockpad had cured, it was on to laying the carpet. This was the final part of the process and it was essential that we had regular contact with the contractor, and that each step was assessed to ensure the quality finish the school demanded.
Completed Project
The project was completed by 23rd August ready for the start of the school term. It took fifty days from start to finish and has provided the school with a high quality hockey facility for the foreseeable future.
We will now begin the process of maintenance to ensure the longevity of the surface, which will include regular sweeping, litter and debris removal, moss and algae control, linemarking as required and any repairs as necessary.
Deep cleaning of the water- based hockey pitch will be undertaken at regular intervals during the life of the surface to prevent build-up of contamination.”
