25 years since the original build, last week we handed over a newly resurfaced pitch @BowdonHC. The project included the install of an elite level non-filled synthetic turf and gripper channel, a replacement shockpad performance layer & remedial works to the base.

Project handover at Airbus UK Broughton FC ⚽️ 🏴. After being appointed as pitch consultant in late 2025, @SSL_Consultants surveyed the old pitch, produced project specification/tender docs before providing quality control/advice during the site works this summer. @airbusukfc

Visit to Standish Leisure Centre for an end of defects period review of the 3G training area we handed over last summer. The project included the installation of a 3G turf surface system and addition of raised height ballstop netting. @SSL_Consultants

Double pitch refurbishment completed and handed over in Battersea Park! Located on the south bank of the River Thames, the FIH compliant sand dressed synthetic turf complete with new insitu shockpad covers a footprint of almost 13,000 square metres.

Latest progress at King Edward VI Camp Hill Schools in #Birmingham. Excavation into a steep bank has created the footprint for the FIH compliant hockey/multi-use synthetic pitch, helping reduce the impact on the playing fields. Pitch base taking shape following soil stabilisation

Visit to Anglesey to check up on works at Ysgol Gyfun Llangefni where improvements to the school sporting provision are being made. A fresh porous macadam surface course has been added to the outdoor courts. And a 3G training pitch will soon be installed below a canopy covering.

Good to return to The Edinburgh Academy, 6 months since project handover. Last summer both of the hockey pitches were refurbished to FIH Category 3 requirements. Proud to have supported the Academy to design/help deliver a key sports facility project, several years in the making.

The 3G at Ysgol y Creuddyn is really taking shape. 2 years since my initial feasibility report & 18 months since putting together the pitch design spec, I cannot wait to see the end result. Key milestones this week, 3G turf now rolled out & the hub building hoisted into position

Massive transformation of the MUGA at Ormiston Denes Academy in Lowestoft. After our initial survey including core samples of the old facility, the area has benefitted from a new surface overlay & a variety of painted sports court markings. @OrmistonDenes

Impressive images @Saltdeanfc near #Brighton, the latest stadia 3G pitch being delivered by the SSL team. With a backdrop of the South Downs National Park, and further site works coming up, this is going to be some facility. @TheSCFL

Project completed at @BishopsgateSch. The old tarmac courts have been converted to a player friendly multi-use synthetic turf facility complete with contrasting dark green coloured surrounds. This is the second SSL project at the independent prep school in recent years.

Striking looking end result at @ReedsSchool in Cobham. The old tennis courts have been refurbished with a new porous acrylic surface. SSL were pleased to support the school, completing independent key stage inspections during the site works.

12 months since handover we revisited Monmouth Leisure Centre to review the hockey pitch. The project involved the reconstruction of the old pitch which was suffering from significant drainage issues, new floodlighting & addition of a spectator viewing area. What a difference! 🏑
