Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council
The whole project included:
- A hockey pitch resurface
- A borehole for water extraction for the pitch
- The replacement of the pumping system to irrigate the hockey pitch and a natural grass rugby pitch.
- The extension of the athletics track from six to eight lanes
- An additional eight lane sprint straight
- Amendments to the field event layout
- Resurfacing all polymeric areas
- Refloodlighting the track
The project was constructed to very high standards and was completed in Autumn 2011 but formally opened with a British League fixture in May of 2012.
The client contact was Steve Welch who is now a relationships Manager in Sport England Capital Projects Team.
The project was managed from consultation with the local athletics club, through the planning process and to a very successful conclusion with the award of the track certification being straightforward.
