Churcher’s College Petersfield, Hampshire

Clients Representative
David Robbins – Bursar

Specification
Full size hockey pitch with sand dressed surface on our dual density shockpad laid over 2 course macadam engineered base.  The project included installation of weldmesh surround fencing and floodlighting. 

This excellent installation is designed primarily for hockey but, because of the dual density shockpad, provides a fantastic area for nine tennis courts.

Procurement
The project was tendered by the school’s consultant followed  by a post tender review and negotiation with the clients representative.  The final design was made after many visits to similar installations in the South of England.

Consultant/Architect
The installation was designed and supervised by Bob and Clive at the Sports Construction Consultancy Limited.
