Situated in Glasgow's West End, the project at Kelvingrove Tennis Club in Glasgow entailed a comprehensive refurbishment of the tennis courts.

This included the removal of the existing synthetic turf, shockpad, stone layer, sub-base, perimeter fencing, and kerb. The new design incorporates a 2G sand-dressed turf system accredited to ITF Certification, along with fresh surface and engineered layers. Any necessary repairs were made to the existing base, with new timber kickboards being installed to fill the gap at the bottom of the fence, enhancing both the aesthetics and functionality of the
courts.

Situated in the heart of beautiful, coastal St Andrews in Fife, the tennis club is home to a vibrant community of tennis lovers. The existing facilities consist of seven outdoor courts and three mini-tennis courts with coaching offered at all levels and social tennis for all ages and abilities.

It was identified back in 2019 that three of the existing artificial turf courts were in a poor condition, with the existing court levels having deteriorated over time to the point of being a health and safety risk to users. Sportex were chosen to completely reconstruct the profile of the courts which included planing and removing the existing asphalt substrate and installing two new layers of porous asphalt to a consolidated depth of 65mm.  The club choose TigerTurf ‘Advantage Pro’ as the new playing surface. Key stage inspections were carried out at critical point of the project to ensure the new facility was delivered in line with current SAPCA code of practice.

Whitecraigs Tennis Club choose SPORTEX to refurbish 8 new courts after a lengthy two years to research their options.

Whitecraigs Tennis Club has a rich history of Scottish tennis success, and is known across the country for developing and producing some of the Scotland junior players.

Summer 2015 saw the complete refurbishment of 8 new outdoor synthetic turf courts at Whitecraigs in Glasgow; six in artificial clay and two in, sand-dressed, artificial grass. The club set up a sub-committee tasked with researching and presenting back to the membership, their recommended options for the new surfaces.

After nearly two years of work and countless visits to tennis clubs across the U.K., the sub-committee recommended Edel ‘Advantage Redcourt’ as the preferred artificial clay surface with SPORTEX recommended as the lead contractor for the entire project. All works were completed within a tight schedule to ensure the courts were complete for the club’s championships in August.

Murrayfield throw out the old, and bring in the new, with industry leading ‘Advantage PRO’ surfaces by SPORTEX.

Established 1904, Murrayfield Lawn Tennis Club is one of the oldest and most picturesque tennis club in the East of Scotland. Nestled just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Murrayfield Stadium, the summer of 2018 saw the reconstruction of the club’s existing block of four courts by SPORTEX.

The old construction profile of sand-filled, synthetic turf, laid on porous concrete panels, were completely removed from the site, thus exposing the underlying formation. This was CBR tested to ensure it achieved acceptable levels of stabilisation, prior to the new ground profile being installed. The industry leading ‘Advantage PRO’ texturised monofilament sand-dressed carpet, by TigerTurf, provided the finished playing surfacing, in a pleasing red/green combination.

Refurbishment to the existing fencing and the provision of new tennis court fixtures, completed the delivery of this prestigious project.

The school is located to the south of the Fair City of Perth, in a wonderful rural setting with stunning countryside views including the impressive Kinnoull Hill. In keeping with the schools modern and impressive facilities for pupils and staff, it was decided in 2020 to upgrade their existing artificial turf facility which was used predominantly for the schools hockey and tennis programmes.

Sportex were delighted to be awarded to contract to deliver on the schools requirements. The scope of works included the installation of a new insitu shockpad and sand-dressed artificial turf carpet in two-tone green blue to replace the old shockpad/carpet system. The existing asphalt based, once exposed methodically inspected for compliance, was found to be in a good and stable condition for accepting the new components.

We are very happy to have worked with the school on this project and compliment a number of Perthshire independent schools that we have delivered first class sports facilities over the last few years.
