Following in the recent trend by numerous professional and semi professional Scottish Football Clubs, Livingston FC decided to convert their existing natural turf stadium pitch to 3G in summer 2018. Prior to contracting the project, the club specified Greenfields high end 3G woven system; MX Elite, for their final playing surface. As a premier partner of Greenfields, Sportex were appointed as the main contractor for the project.

After undertaking the initial excavation and groundworks to remove the topsoil, pitch drainage was installed alongside a dynamic stone and open textured asphalt base. This was followed by the installation of a preformed shock pad and Greenfields ‘MX Elite 50’ artificial turf. The project was completed by the installation of fencing, floodlighting and sports equipment supplied for both rugby and football.

On completion of the project, the newly installed field was independently tested and approved to FIFA Quality PRO performance standards.
