| Hockey | FastPro HF13 | FIH Cat 3 | New build | Carrick Sports |
About the project: In early 2021 the new double hockey pitch project was carried out by Carrick Sports, at Worcester International Hockey Centre in conjunction with Royal Grammar School, Worcester. Work began by building a solid foundation, including a tarmac base, and installing a hockey-specific Insitu shock pad. Following on, the CCGrass FastPro HF13, a blue water-based turf, produced specifically for hockey, was installed superbly across the two pitches.
About the surface: FastPro HF13 is a dedicated hockey surface, offering the best sports performance. This hockey surface is always installed on a tested shock pad over a level compacted, free-draining base, to provide a fast, true and hockey specific system. The surface has been classified by the FIH as needing Reduced Watering, making it lower in cost and easier to bring to match readiness. Due to the non-directional element of the fibre and the density of stitches, players can maximise their close stick work, as well as play the game at speed.
What help did CCGrass give to the project: Bryn visited the site numerous times to assist and provide guidance to the club. A member of the club mentioned that they had played on a CCGrass pitch before, and recommended that they chose CCGrass to provide the surface. With this along with Bryn’s support, the club decided to go with CCGrass turf. Working closely with the club and school, Bryn ensured that the installation process went smoothly.
Quote from the client:
“The carpet arrived on time and in perfect condition. We love the vibrancy of the colours and the quality of the installation. We’re looking forward to seeing the first players using the water-based pitches.” comments from both Andy Waters at WHC and Sharon Dyer at RGS.
Quote from CCGrass:
“We are incredibly pleased with how the surface looks and with the quality of the install. The benefits that this pitch will bring to the club and RGS will be immeasurable.” CCGrass CEO, Bryn Lee.
