University of Leeds - Five-a-side football pitch

The University of Leeds 37-hectare estate presented unique challenges working around the 33,000 students and 8,000 staff. Strict noise regulations required the use of noise curtains due to the close proximity of the laboratories and teaching facilities.

The works included dismantling the existing fence, gates and posts and excavation of existing foundations, replacing them with Dulok Rebond double wire panel system, supply and fit 2-metre-high polypropylene mesh.

The refurbishment included replacement of artificial turf to FIFA recommendations for 1 star - the amateur sector and 2 star pitches catering for the most stringent demands in top-class international sport.

Reinforced concrete foundations were constructed to receive the new Dulok Rebond double wire panel system.

The refurbishment is part of the campus masterplan investing £520 million in the estate over the next 5 years.
