Eastbourne College – Velocity Sports

Eastbourne College Refurbishment of the Beresford Hockey pitch

down

Following a full, competitive tender, Velocity Sports were awarded the contract to refurbish the Beresford Hockey Astro for Eastbourne College, one the country’s leading Independent Schools.

Overseen by specialist sports pitch consultants Surfacing Standards Ltd, the key strategic project involved:

  • The removal and recycling of the existing pre-formed shockpad and end of life sand filled artificial grass surface.
  • Base remedial works to bring the existing base in line with FIH requirements
  • New external gripper rail to secure the new carpet system and prevent movement in the surface and line markings
  • New 15mm thick wet pour rubber shockpad
  • Installation of a new two tone TigerTurf Evo Pro high quality sand-dressed artificial grass surface
  • Testing to FIH National Level

The successfully refurbished facility was completed in the summer of 2023.
