Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre Refurbishment of the centre’s 3G pitch

down

Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre is a UK Sport Accredited Elite Training Centre who provide world-class sporting facilities for individuals, the local community and some of the country’s leading sportsmen and women.

Following a competitive tender process overseen by specialist consultant and leading test house Sportslabs, Velocity Sports were selected to carry out the refurbishment of the centre’s ageing 3G pitch.

The specification called for a FIFA and World Rugby certified system suitable to host the variety of elite and community teams at the centre.

The project consisted of

  • The removal and recycling of the old 3G carpet and shockpad.
  • Base remediation to bring the pitch within the tolerances of FIFA/WR standards.
  • Installation of a new in-situ shockpad.
  • Installation of a new Domo Duraforce 60mm surface
  • Installation of infill migration measures (re-cycled Trekboards and bespoke grilles and detox areas at player and maintenance entrances)
  • Testing to FIFA Quality and World Rugby Reg 22

The successfully refurbished facility was completed in the summer of 2023, under budget and turned round in a little over 4 weeks.

A big feather in the cap for Velocity and Sportslabs and a great addition for one of the country’s most iconic and valued sporting venues.
