Comprehensive Sportex specialist sports construction and civil engineering project with innovative undersurface.
Cargilfield School is attended by more than 300 girls and boys, aged 3-13 years and is the oldest independent boarding and day prep school in Scotland. The school’s rich environment conveys a real sense of achievement and momentum along with the broad curriculum and commitment to academic, creative, cultural and sporting excellence.
SPORTEX was selected to provide specialist sports construction and civil engineering skills in building a new 90m x 60m, fully equipped artificial turf pitch for hockey and tennis, supported by a newly refurbished, three court tennis facility. The new build specification was an engineered macadam construction, incorporating a lateral drainage system; overlaid by an in-situ bound rubber shock pad. High quality 18mm TigerTurf ‘EVO PRO’ sand-dressed artificial turf was installed for both the new hockey facility and the refurbished tennis courts. Both facilities had 868 rigid panel weld mesh perimeter fencing installed, and were furnished with a full complement of hockey and tennis sports equipment, along with LED floodlighting.

Bespoke Requirements
The refurbished tennis court facility was installed with TenCate Ecocept® Performance Sports Base, an advanced innovative porous pavement, specially developed to use below synthetic sports turf surfaces. The base acts as a combined structural layer and shock pad, ensuring a stable surface, whilst reducing the loads experienced by players. It also reduces the impact on the environment, as it is almost entirely made from recycled materials, including recycled synthetic pitches.

DUNBAR, EAST LOTHIAN
SPORTEX’s new six lane, athletics track,
now allows Dunbar athletes, year-round
training access.
Hallhill, is the major sports hub for the Dunbar area in East Lothian. The Trust, incorporates seven sports clubs across various sporting disciplines and provides facilities for numerous other physical activities. The model for the sports hub, is to provide affordable sport and community facilities through a social enterprise approach – community facilities owned by the community for the community.
In 2018 SPORTEX were chosen to provide a new 6 lane, 70m athletics sprint straight. The work was part of a wider project, to deliver a newly refurbished full-size synthetic turf hockey pitch.
This new facility for the local athletics club and wider community, is a welcome addition to the current facilities at Hallhill. It provides year-round usage for the local athletics club, allowed for by the floodlighting from the adjacent hockey pitch, and is a vast improvement from training, on wet damaged grass, during the winter months.

PERTH
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.

The revamping of this indoor 7-a-side football dome involved the removal of the old 3G surface, regrading and key stage inspection of the existing dynamic stone base and the installation of a new 60mm 3G carpet.
This was all completed within the scheduled programme and budget, to the delight of the college.
