Sportex extends school pitch for Wigan Council to competitive FA League standards.

In spring 2019, Sportex won a competitive tender process which saw them chosen as the preferred contractor for the extension and refurbishment of an existing 2G synthetic turf facility at Lowton CE High School.

As the primary sporting use for the new facility was football, as the existing facility was originally built as a hockey facility there was a need to extend the length of existing pitch footprint by 7m. The extended area was developed to match the existing construction profile of the current field and regularly inspected and approved by the client’s nominated independent consultant.

For the finished surface, a new 40mm 3G carpet by Greenfields was installed and independently tested to ensure it met approval for the FA’s 3G pitch register, allowing the local football club to use the facility for training and competitive league requirements.

“Ecosse Sports Ltd extended and refurbished our old astro pitch in Summer 2019.  The work was completed within a tight timescale and to a very high standard.  The quality of the carpet supplied is excellent and still in pristine condition after 9 months us by the School and Leigh Genesis Football club”
