Following design and feasibility support, Fieldform were appointed by CALA Homes (Southern Region) to construct two natural turf football pitches on the outskirt of Winchester in Hampshire. Our works package includes:
Phase 1 of this project took place before Christmas until the wet weather started, we are planning on returning to site to complete Phase 2 in the Spring of 2026. Please keep an eye on the Fieldform website for further updates on this exciting project.
The new football pitches will be used by the local community for min soccer, junior and adult football creating a hub of activity for Winchester and beyond.
Why is Sports Pitch Drainage Important?
Drainage is an important consideration when constructing natural turf sports pitches capable of withstanding regular use. At Fieldform, we excel at providing design advice and construction services relating to pitch drainage schemes, we will always offer a site specific and budget sensitive solution. When starting a new drainage project, we take into consideration the existing turf, natural environment, and any drainage systems already in place for surrounding roads and buildings. These factors are used to design a site specific drainage system, other considerations include, calculating trench width, size of drainage pipe, distance between drainage runs and type of back fill.
To provide clients with a turnkey service we have invested heavily in plant and equipment, the newest addition to our fleet is the award winning, Shelton Supertrencher+. This specialist piece of laser guided equipment creates a trench with minimal disruption and is capable of digging up to 760mm deep and 155mm wide using twin hydraulic cylinders. The two gearboxes enable the machine to work in all weather and ground condition. To create a trench, this machinery excavates soil and dispenses it into a large aperture on the front body of the machine. From here the soil is moved to either our trailer or dumper truck running alongside, creating a neat trench ready to lay pipe and with minimal clean-up.
