Wellington College has a well established reputation for sporting excellence and wished to develop a new hockey and tennis facility which enhanced both the player and spectator experience.
S&C Slatter was chosen to work with the College in designing the refurbishment, extension and upgrading of a 20 year old sand-filled artificial turf facility, in order to deliver International Hockey Federation (FIH) National Performance Standard at all times, and FIH Global Performance Standard when wet.
This required a re-construction of the existing pitch foundation, creating a new engineered macadam sub-base overlaid with an in-situ bound SBR shockpad.
A high quality sand-dressed texturised monofilament artificial turf was selected as the optimum playing surface complete with the College logo manufactured in the same artificial turf material and inset into the pitch.
