Southgate Hockey Club Double Pitch Resurface
Blakedown Sport & Play are very proud to have been involved with the refurbishment of the two existing pitches at Southgate Hockey Club in Hertfordshire.
The high specification Edel Triple-T carpet was chosen for both the water-based and sand-dressed pitches which offers a high ball speed with good grip and low friction, ideal for competition level hockey.
The Edel Triple T Global standard water-based pitch also had the in-situ rubber shockpad replaced so providing the best playing characteristics possible. New kerbs and drainage channels were also constructed around the pitch.
The second worn sand-filled pitch was replaced with the Edel Triple T sand-dressed option, providing a multi-use facility so as the club can continue to hire out to local football clubs and teams.
Blakedown utilised their in-house skills with a design and build scheme for the surrounding pitch areas which included recycling the existing carpet around the club for spectator areas and walkways, and installing high specification paving and decking areas around the clubhouse.
