MUGA recessed goal with cricket nets behind “ A ‘turnkey’ solution
In more general terms, utilising one contracting team and one site foreman means the project runs a lot more smoothly and minimises the movement of plant on and off site
Whilst applying for the funding and the necessary planning permission, the partnership began investigating contractors for the various elements of the project. An introduction from Heras Sports Fencing led to ECB code of practice installer for non-turf pitches, total-play Ltd, being appointed to design and construct the cricket practice nets facility in late Autumn 2013. Following in-depth discussion with the
committee, the company then put forward a proposal to undertake the rest of the project in the New Year; effectively offering a ‘turnkey’ solution, as their MD, David Bates, explains: “We are probably best known as cricket
pitch specialists, however, we have always undertaken works for a wide range of sports and have recently seen an increase in the number of MUGAs we are being asked to
install. Having a proven track record in this field and knowing that we had the capabilities to carry out the entire project - aside from the installation of the floodlights to the tennis court - we put forward a proposal to the management committee.” “This offered a number of benefits to the
client - in the case of the cricket practice facility and MUGA in particular - where we were able to build the entire systems using our own skilled labour force. This meant the MUGA was constructed as a single project rather than in phases - for example, the floodlighting infrastructure was built during the base construction of the sports surface - reducing both project cost and time. In more general terms, utilising one contracting team and one site foreman - so having one point of contact - means the project runs a lot more smoothly and minimises the movement of plant on and off site.”
