Both new build synthetic pitches @SedberghSchool achieved the highest possible standard for a sand dressed surface, as certified by the International Hockey Federation. A key project objective first identified during our feasibility work back in 2020 ✅ @SSL_Consultants

Practical completion achieved in Anglesey. Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni now has a brand new 3G training area complete with infill retainers & new 5v5 goals. Protected from the elements beneath the canopy covering. @SSL_Consultants

Following the application of the tennis & netball lines, the resurfaced porous macadam courts at Stonyhurst College near Clitheroe are now complete. The 2nd project we’ve delivered for the College in recent years. @SSL_Consultants

5 years since first visiting the site, construction is underway on a new synthetic pitch for the King Edward VI Camp Hill Schools in #Birmingham. Having worked through feasibility, design, planning & contractor procurement, a key milestone reached with site earthworks commencing.

Visit to Anglesey to check up on works at Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni where improvements to the school sporting provision are being made. A fresh porous macadam surface course has been added to the outdoor courts. And a 3G training pitch will soon be installed below a canopy covering.

Further developments at Bro Dysynni Leisure Centre in #Gwynedd with the new insitu shockpad underlay completed.

Good to return to The Edinburgh Academy, 6 months since project handover. Last summer both of the hockey pitches were refurbished to FIH Category 3 requirements. Proud to have supported the Academy to design/help deliver a key sports facility project, several years in the making.

The 3G at Ysgol y Creuddyn is really taking shape. 2 years since my initial feasibility report & 18 months since putting together the pitch design spec, I cannot wait to see the end result. Key milestones this week, 3G turf now rolled out & the hub building hoisted into position

New project underway in #Gwynedd, West Wales! The hockey pitch at Bro Dysynni Leisure Centre in Tywyn is being fully refurbished & will benefit from some carefully designed facility enhancements. Pitch base assessment completed. Exciting developments in the coming weeks.

The pitch at Ormiston Maritime Academy in Grimsby has achieved FIH certification, confirming that the required expectations of the surface installation have been achieved. Pleased to have helped deliver another top quality hockey/multi-use pitch in the UK.

The latest sports facility project on the Isle of Anglesey will see a canopy covered area completely revamped & outdoor macadam courts refurbished. Following our site survey & feasibility review in September, looking forward to seeing site works progress over the coming weeks.

Massive transformation of the MUGA at Ormiston Denes Academy in Lowestoft. After our initial survey including core samples of the old facility, the area has benefitted from a new surface overlay & a variety of painted sports court markings. @OrmistonDenes @OrmistonAcads
