The College enjoys an enviable reputation for producing highly successful individual and team performances in a wide range of sports.

S&C Slatter are currently midway through the installation of a new build quadruple lane non-turf cricket practice facility at St Albans Cricket Club, Hertfordshire. The facility includes full perimeter fencing to ensure that it is kept in tip top condition, and prevent any temptation for vandals. The nets are being built to a Notts Sport ECB approved specification, comprising a mixture of the two batting end systems. Having been first conceived in August 2009, the project developed over two years with the design, expertise and working partnership between S&C Slatter, Notts Sport and St Albans Cricket Club members. The project required all aspects of the scheme to be approved with St Albans District Council, such as obtaining a lease on the location, planning permission, and determining a construction phase plan and vehicle access routes.

The clubs determination and extensive fundraising efforts have paid off and rewarded all club members who have devoted much of their time in bringing the project to fruition. S&C Slatter are confident that the club will be delighted with the quality and performance of the completed article, and we hope we can be of assistance to them with their maintenance requirements and on future projects. Please see below CAD diagram showing the facility in more detail. Pictures will follow on completed installation.

This project is part of numerous projects S&C Slatter has built this year in the county of Hertfordshire; others include four tennis court resurfaces at The King George V Playing Fields in Welwyn Garden City, and redevelopment of a degraded tarmac tennis and basketball court at The University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield.

Staff and pupils of St Bart’s are returning from their summer break to exceptional new sports facilities, including a sand dressed Artificial Turf Pitch and 4 x court Multi-Use Games Area. S&C Slatter delivered the new facilities for market leading major contractor Willmott Dixon in record time. Not only was the speed of construction impressive, S&C Slatter also performed exceptionally well in ensuring works were delivered safely.

Willmott Dixon’s Building Manager, Luke Brindley: ‘S&C Slatter have delivered on what they said they would do. They have been hard working and impeccable in their approach; they have worked with us at every step of the way. Health and Safety is incredibly important to Willmott Dixon and we impress on our subcontractors the need to operate to the letter of the law. We have been very impressed with S&C’s approach and they have achieved some of the highest scores in Health and Safety across all Willmott Dixon sites during this package of works.’

S&C Slatter secured this prestigious contract in the face of fierce competition. The company’s constructive approach to project delivery, their ability to provide synthetic turf system experience and solutions in line with the clients’ specified requirements, and extensive in-house construction capabilities all contributed to place the company ahead.

Working with the client, S&C Slatter embarked on an extensive market research exercise to match the client’s prescriptive sporting requirements with the best possible surface system solution. Following play testing of facilities the school’s Heads of Sport selected the exceptional GreenFields HT MF 18 sand dressed system for their Artificial Turf Pitch. This market leading surface system comprises heavy weight monofilament texturised yarns offering performance standards to suit an array of sporting disciplines.

Record Time

As the final phase of works on a prestigious £30m contract to rebuild St Bartholomew’s School, the external sports facilities were to be delivered in a tight timescale. Typically, new build synthetic turf pitch facilities require a works programme of some 12-14 weeks. Due to the project’s extensive scope of works for the main contractor, the external sports facilities programme stipulated an 8-week period to deliver both the full size Artificial Turf Pitch and an adjacent 4 x court Multi-Use Games Area. This presented logistical and planning challenges which were managed carefully and efficiently between the client, Willmott Dixon and S&C Slatter.
