Land Engineering was appointed as a specialist sub-contractor to design and construct natural and synthetic sports pitches for various schools within the Edinburgh area, as part of the Edinburgh Schools PPP programme.

Activities

  • The works involved the design and construction of one full-size and seven seven-a-side synthetic pitches, including perimeter fencing and floodlighting.
  • The project also involved the design and construction of new full-size grass pitches, along with refurbishment of existing grass sportsfield facilities.

Outcome

As in many cases where new facilities are sited at the locale of demolished schools, the programme for sports pitch construction was subject to frequent change and delay resulting from slippage in the programme for the new school buildings and follow-on contracts for the demolition of the existing school buildings. 

This required a flexible approach from us and our sub-contractors to meet the changing requirements of the overall contract programme. We worked to ensure that we fulfilled our contract with maximum effectiveness.
