Civil Engineering

We don't just build pitches, we engineer them to ensure they meet the highest performance standards.

Sports Pitch Civil Engineering

At SIS Pitches, we understand that a high-performing sports pitch starts beneath the surface. Our expert civils team tackles challenging ground conditions for optimal playability, durability, and longevity of your construction.

Ground Condition Expertise

Our design phase always includes analysing your site’s ground conditions, soil composition, and drainage. This allows us to develop a ground preparation plan that addresses your sport’s specific needs. Whether it’s soil stabilisation to ensure a consistent playing surface or implementing advanced drainage networks to prevent waterlogging, our expertise ensures your pitch is built on a solid foundation.

Building a winning surface

Ground Investigation

A thorough understanding of the existing ground conditions is essential before any construction begins. Our ground investigation services provide vital information that informs every subsequent stage of the project. We employ various techniques to assess soil type, density, permeability, and the presence of contaminants. This data allows us to determine the ground’s stability, identify potential drainage issues, and design appropriate solutions.

Earthworks & Ground Stabilisation

Many sites require significant earthworks to achieve the correct levels and gradients. Our expertise in earthworks covers excavation, cut and fill, and compaction to create a stable and level base. We use stabilisation techniques to address problematic ground conditions, such as weak or unstable soils.

Drainage System Design

Effective drainage is crucial for maintaining a playable, long-lasting sports pitch. Our engineers design drainage systems tailored to your specific site conditions and sport. We consider soil permeability and pitch usage factors to determine the optimal drainage layout. We install high-performance drainage networks to remove excess water from the playing surface.

Sub-base Construction

The sub-base is a critical structural element that provides load-bearing support and contributes to adequate drainage. We construct robust sub-bases using carefully selected and graded aggregates, ensuring compaction and stability. The specific composition and depth of the sub-base are determined by factors such as the sport being played and the underlying conditions. A well constructed sub-base construction prevents surface deformation and contributes to a sports surface’s overall longevity and performance.

Industry-Leading Engineering

We use advanced machinery to build our sports pitches efficiently and accurately. We use specialised testing tools to ensure a solid foundation and precision grading equipment to create level playing surfaces for our surfaces to be installed onto. All of our advanced machinery means our construction process provides a high-quality, durable pitch that is best to last, giving you the best value for your investment.
