Prestige
won the contract to build a full size, artificial turf,
sand dressed hockey pitch to FIH / EH category 1 standards
at Brockenhurst College. The pitch was required predominantly
for hockey but needed to facilitate limited use for
football. A warm up artificial pitch for hockey and
football was also required to be built to the same spec
as the main pitch. The contract was then further extended
to include the regrading, renovating and draining of
3 natural grass football pitches.

Earthworks
& Drainage
The area of the hockey pitch was rotavated, levelled
and compacted to accept the engineered base. A lateral
drainage system with catchpit and soakaway was installed.

Formation
A
type 1 stone base was laid on top of a geotextile
membrane then levelled and compacted. Tarmac was laid
on top to complete the engineered base to BS4987.
Pin line kerbing was used.

Surface
- Shock pad
A 15mm wet pour rubber shockpad (min 8% binder) was
laid over the engineered base.

Carpet
The
carpet was required to meet EH category 1 standards
and be FIH approved. Prestige chose Lano's 18mm Excelsior
PA polypropylene fibrilating carpet with a weight
of 1400g /m2 to give a good level of hockey play as
well as allowing limited use for football. Inlaid,
permanent line markings were included for hockey and
football.

Fencing
3m high twinbar, weld mesh, galvanised and coated
fencing with 8 recesses, a 1200m high re-inforced
rebound panel and hockey kickboards to current British
Standards. A double gate was included.

|
Floodlighting
8 number 15m high floodlight columns with 32 lamps
were installed to current British Standards, to provide
an average maintained illumination of 500 lux.
|

Spectator
areas were tarmaced, kerbed and paved. Hockey goals
and 5 aside football goals were supplied.
Testing
was carried out at each stage of the construction
process to ensure compliance to FIH, EH, BS and other
required standards.
Handover
was completed on time and the project was completed
to budget.
