King's School, Bruton
We will be replacing the worn out hockey pitch at King's School in Bruton with a state of the art, sand filled, mono filament hockey carpet. The project is taking place over the Summer holidays for completion by September.
Description
We have been working alongside the Sports Staff at King's School, Bruton for a number of months, discussing how best to improve their provision of sports facilities. After careful consideration of all the options, they decided to have their existing sand filled hockey pitch refurbished and upgrade the existing fencing with new kick boards.
Having visited a number of newly built facilities, including Monkton Prep School, the school selected our Greenfields 18mm nd mono filament hockey carpet. This surface has excellent playing characteristics whether wet or dry and will provide a fast moving game.
The old carpet will be rolled up and recycled as will the deterioating shock pad. A new 15mm pad will be laid before the new carpet is installed on top. The pitch run-offs will be in the school's colour (blue) providing a striking surround to the playing surface.
Project Diary
We cut up the old carpet into re-usable lengths, rolled it up and removed from site. The shockpad had gone very brittle and wouldn't have lasted another 15 years so this was scraped up and taken away. The pitch was clear by the end of the week.
After straight edging the existing tarmac base for level, we called the shock pad team to site. Despite some dodgy weather in the middle of the week they had made good progress by Friday.
