reveals. “and we had to prepare for that eventuality.”


Elements of the existing 3G pitch were repurposed for the new synthetic area, which is drained with lateral pipes at 7m- centre pipes that also connect to the sustainable soakaway drainage system. “All stone removed from under the old 3G pitch was assessed and the aggregate laid thinly under the new 3G pitch, beneath footpaths crossing the park and the foundations for the maintenance yard,” Jonathan adds.


“From an environmental and cost-saving perspective, it made sense to reuse as much as we could in the new development,” Jonathan says, “as did specifying the environmentally friendly machinery washdown bay, which contains and biologically treats all washdown water on the site.”


Controlled from the reception building, the 3G pitch’s iillumination system consists


of eight LED 500 Lux floodlights, switchable to 250 Lux, whilst Pitch 1 has a system of eight 500 Lux metal halide floods, also switchable to the samended level. On the east side of the natural pitches, 5m fencing was erected, linked to the main building, with 1.8m fencing at north and south ends. “The western end forms a natural perimeter of trees and bushes,” Jonathan explains, “and did not require any.” “Contractors moved on site in June 2018, handing over the pitches this March, before the entire development was signed off in May,” he adds. “As designers and project managers for the pitch redevelopment, I can say that everything was completed efficiently. The contractors kept to the programme timeline, were easy to work with and resourced the site well with people and plant.”
