Carmarthenshire Council via, the SWWRCF has awarded Andrew Scott Ltd the design and construction of new 3G Pitches on existing Red-gra facilities at Glan Y Mor Comprehensive School.

Typical Construction Sequence – 3G Sports Pitch

• Site Preparation & Surveys

• Topographical and geotechnical surveys

• Setting out the pitch perimeter

• Clearance of vegetation, existing structures, or debris

• Excavation & Earthworks

• Strip topsoil and unsuitable subsoil

• Cut and fill to achieve design levels and gradients

• Installation of geotextile membranes (if required for stability)

• Drainage Installation

• Excavate and install lateral and perimeter drains

• Lay perforated pipes in gravel-filled trenches

• Connect to existing stormwater systems or soakaways

• Place drainage layer (stone or open-textured tarmac)

• Sub-Base Construction

• Place and compact stone sub-base layers (Type 3 aggregate or engineered stone)

• Laser-grade to required tolerances for levelness

• Install edge restraints (kerbs, PCC edgings or concrete channels)

• Base Layer Installation

• Install shock pad (optional but often recommended)

• Lay engineered base (e.g. porous asphalt or dynamic stone layer)

• Synthetic Turf Installation

• Roll out and align the synthetic carpet

• Trim, seam, and glue turf rolls together using specialist adhesives

• Install inlaid pitch markings (or cut and glue coloured lines)

• Infill Application

• Apply rubber crumb and sand infill in layers

• Mechanically brush infill to evenly distribute and settle it into the turf

• Repeat as required for proper coverage and performance

• Perimeter Works

• Install fencing (weldmesh or rebound panels)

• Install goals, ball-stop netting, access gates

• Complete external landscaping or hardstanding areas

• Testing & Commissioning

• Surface performance testing (shock absorption, ball rebound, traction)

• Drainage performance checks
