Polymeric Sports Pitch – Elephant & Castle
Polymeric Sports Pitch – Elephant & Castle
Working alongside our highly esteemed client, Equans, our remit for this project was to transform the dated appearance of this multi-use residential sports court into a bright, colourful area using modern materials.
Polymeric rubber offers an open texture, impact absorbing surface with excellent porosity, and is made from black recycled rubber in the base layer before spray coating is applied. Costs are competitive with artificial grasses and have reduced maintenance in comparison.
The cushioned EPDM rubber top surface ensures a long lifespan while ensuring athlete comfort and reducing the instances of muscle fatigue and injury.
In order to produce a suitable surface upon which to lay the Polymeric rubber, the existing fabric and underlying substrate had to be carefully removed and disposed.
Existing drainage was maintained by applying porous EPDM rubber in a vibrant contrasting green colour of which also created a decorative border.
A new macadam substrate was also then installed.
To complete the transformation, the final green anti-slip PU coating was then sprayed, followed by the selected white Football and yellow Basketball line-markings.
