Uxbridge FC Honeycroft undergoes major upgrade!

down

The summer of 2023 saw Uxbridge FC invest in significant ground upgrades including a 3G pitch at their stadium, Honeycroft.

Having worked closely with specialist consultants Surfacing Standards to undertake surveys, develop a design and obtain planning consent the club approach Velocity to tender the works.

Being situated on a former landfill site meant there were certain complexities to the design and construction of the facility and Velocity’s previous experience of working on similar projects such as Aveley FC (link to case study) was of great comfort to the football club and we were duly appointed to deliver the project.

As well as the pitch and spectator barrier, the scope of works were extended during our time on site to include new perimeter pathways, an LED lighting upgrade and the installation of a spectator stand, helping to showcase the variety of services we offer.

The new pitch comprises a fully stabilised and engineered base, shock absorbing layer and high quality 40mm 3G surface from Polytan, it has been certified to FIFA Quality Pro and is certainly on the of the highest quality artificial playing surfaces in the country.

The project commenced on site in July 2023 and was handed over for use to a delighted client just 15 week later.
