SPORTEX were delighted to be chosen as the lead contractor for the transformation of tired and dilapidated MUGA and tennis facilities, at South Queensferry Sports Hub in Edinburgh.

The scope of works included transforming the existing, four 5-a-side 2G ball courts, into a single, dedicated 7-a-side 3G football and rugby training area. A new 60mm pile height, 3G carpet was installed on top of a new 20mm thick insitu laid shockpad, after establishing that the existing engineered macadam base, was within the required tolerances. The perimeter fencing was replaced with new 868 rigid panel fencing, for added durability, along with new 7-a-side goal equipment.

The existing three court tennis facility, was overlaid with a new, wearing course layer of asphalt, before being painted with a water-based acrylic coating in green and purple, similar to colours commonly associated with Wimbledon.
