Description
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing high-quality sports facilities at the University of Exeter, this project will deliver a new sand-dressed artificial turf surface designed to support performance, safety, and long-term durability. The works will include full surface replacement, including installation of a compliant shock-pad system (subject to testing) to ensure year-round playability. The project will meet Sport England and relevant national governing body standards, providing a resilient, low-maintenance surface suitable for hockey, recreational sport, and wider university use.
