sports pitch construction for hmp featherstone - phase 2 case study
DESCRIPTION
Phase 2 involved the construction of the two new sports pitches: MUGA Pitch - The project involved the design and build of a 5 a-side sports pitch. The work included site clearance and reduced level dig with cut and fill. The underside of the playing surface was a “Finn” underground drainage system and free draining sub-base granular fill. The playing surface used was “Playrite Matchwinner” synthetic sports surface with shockpad, surrounded by a 3m high welded mesh fence. Natural Turf Pitch -The project involved the build of a natural turf rugby/football field. The underside of the natural pitch was made up from a number of layers which were supported by the lime stabilized formation in order to create the most level playing surface. The pitch consisted of a 125mm drainage layer of Viridor recycled glass and 175mm Rootzone 80/20 supplied by Tarmac Topsport. The “Sports Greenscape” turf was then laid to complete the natural turf pitch.TRANSCRIPT

Construction of a natural turf pitch and MUGA pitch.
Phase 2 involved the construction of the two new pitches:
MUGA Pitch
The project involved the design and build of a 5 a-side sports pitch. The work included site clearance and reduced level dig with cut and fill.
The underside of the playing surface was a “Finn” underground drainage system
and free draining sub-base granular fill. The playing surface used was “Playrite
Matchwinner” synthetic sports surface with shockpad, surrounded by a 3m high
welded mesh fence.
Natural Turf Pitch
The project involved the build of a natural turf rugby/football field.
The underside of the natural pitch was made up from a number of layers which
were supported by the lime stabilized formation in order to create the most level
playing surface.
The pitch consisted of a 125mm drainage layer of Viridor recycled glass and
175mm Rootzone 80/20 supplied by Tarmac Topsport.
The “Sports Greenscape” turf was then laid to complete the natural turf pitch.
