Sports Pitch Construction at Eastwood School, Essex

O’Brien Contractors was brought on board by Eastwood School to design and build a synthetic Mondo six-lane 400m IAAF and UK Athletics track with associated infield facilities.

The project involved reduced level excavation, ‘cut and fill’ to formation with the disposal of residual spoil, including associated drainage sub base build up and macadam civils works. Installation of long jump, triple jump, high-jump, pole vault and circle for throwing events were included, along with a FIFA compliant football pitch on the infield, which was top soiled, seeded and marked accordingly.

On top of this a Mondo Sportsflex SX, 400m running track was laid. Standing out from its competitor, it boasts a wealth of advantages, including a non-slip running surface and is recognised as one of the fastest tracks in the world.

Sportsflex SX selection as the Olympic track for London 2012 will only benefit and encourage athletes from around the globe to make Eastwood School track their number one choice of training venue. The project was delivered on time and to budget and professional quality. By implementing proactive proposals O’Brien was able to offer Eastwood School reduced costs within the project and bring the contract value down, within the client’s requirements, without compromising the quality of the end product.
