Crompton Cricket Club

Lancashire

Dura-Sport were approached to provide advice and a quotation for the replacement of the club's existing twin bay facility. Following discussions and a site investigation a design and specification was produced to suit the clubs requirements. 

Scope of works included dismantling the existing cage structure, ripping up the existing surfacing and concrete bases and removing all from site. 

The design footprint was then extended in both length and width to 30.00m x 8.00m, rotated to face in a North South orientation to meet ECB requirements, and set out using laser levels to ensure the facility was within ECB tolerances.

The remaining area was then excavated out and sockets set within the foundation to house the new extended 21.96m long cage structure.

Selected foundation and drainage aggregates were then imported to the excavation before 2no. ECB Approved DSi-pro practice pitches measuring 30.00m x 2.74m were constructed from the back to the front of the facility, removing the requirement for any internal timber boards. DS Evograss 3G synthetic grass surrounds was then laid in between and alongside the pitches.

The cage was then erected and fitted with our new DS HD knotted netting onto a tensioned line wire system and an anti vermin skirt was installed to the perimeter of the cage structure. The pitches were marked out as per rules of the game and DS Flexi stumps were provided for each lane. The project was completed on time and the design met the clubs budget and requirements.
