3G pitch unveiled at Burgess Hill Town FC!

Surfacing Standards Limited

The latest SSL stadia project has been completed at Burgess Hill Town FC!

The Hillians, founded in 1882, are a founder member of the Sussex County Football Association. As part of various stadium upgrade works, the club turned to SSL for the design and delivery of a high quality 3G synthetic pitch at the Medical Travel Compared Stadium.

Club chairman David Corney outlined the role played by SSL in turning a vision into reality;

“SSL were the key part in the successful delivery of the clubs new 3G pitch within the 12 months we needed to get it done. The club’s directors had little, if any, knowledge of what was required to implement such as project. However based upon a very general brief from the club, SSL asked the correct questions for them to understand how to design a system which would meet the club’s needs. They then organised all of the various surveys required with the key objective of avoiding hold-ups during the planning process. SSL submitted those plans and answered questions posed to them by the planning authorities. On planning being accepted, SSL drew up a technical specification to present to potential contractors from which our tender was based. Once a contractor was chosen, SSL stayed part of the journey with monitoring of progress and ensuring that the contractor met its technical and contractual obligations to the club.

We now have our fantastic 3G pitch which will transform the facility from a 1 or 2 game a week venue to one used every evening and weekend – allowing us to offer more footballing opportunities for the community and allow us to transform the financial operations of the club.”

The SSL team are pleased to have played a part delivering a large number of 3G stadia pitches across the UK. We wish Burgess Hill Town FC all the best for the rest of the season!

£1.7m hockey development for Sedbergh

Surfacing Standards Limited

SSL are proud to be the lead consultant appointed by Sedbergh School to design and deliver their double hockey pitch development.

The double pitch project involved careful realignment of Old Peculier, an important wetland area. Recognising the sensitive setting, the works were planned in close collaboration with Yorkshire Dales ecologists and over 72 trees, numerous shrubs & marginal pond species were planted.

Both synthetic pitches at Sedbergh School achieve the highest possible playing standards for a sand dressed synthetic turf surface, as certified by the International Hockey Federation (FIH).

Working together with a fantastic project team, SSL led the project through feasibility, design development & construction. A huge effort across a range of project considerations all helped to create an amazing facility.
