Contract Management and Supervision

This is without doubt the most enjoyable and exciting part of our work as we watch projects finally come together on the ground.  If all of the preparatory work has been completed and our design specification is being followed closely a successful conclusion and handover should be inevitable.  Unexpected issues can arise, however, and we monitor the progress of the works so that these eventualities do not become significant problems.  We also ensure that the materials and methods we have described are closely adhered to.  For natural turf projects, our understanding of soil, grass and the weather is often crucial.  You will also want the reassurance that your money is being spent as was agreed when the contract was awarded so we will check all payment applications against what we see on site.  We tend to work only with contractors in whom we have the utmost confidence but everyone can make mistakes!

Here are some of the operations that we bring into effect for our clients...

Sand carpet integration

We have found, when making new natural turf sports pitches, that the combination of pipe drainage with a sand carpet provides the optimum quality of playing surface for most community or lower league surfaces.  It depends on the circumstances of course but 50 mm of the right kind of sand usually needs to be integrated with the topsoil just enough to create the perfect rootzone in which the grass seed may establish.  The stone burier in the video has just been set up under our guidance to achieve this.
