Early 2011 Links Turf Layers  were appointed as subcontractors for a project at Eastwood School in Essex.

O’Brien contractors were acting as Principal contractor on a “Design & Build” contract for the construction of a synthetic “Mondo” 6 lane, 400m IAAF  and UK Athletics track with associated field activities.

The Infield area also includes a full size  FIFA compliant football pitch.

As subcontractors we were responsible for the cultivation, preparation and seeding of all infield areas, outfield and perimeter reinstatement.The total seeding works were some 17,500m²

Originally the project with preparation, turf supply & laying specified came in over budget. However our grass seeding, expertise and equipment enabled us to offer an alternative seeding solution to reduce costs and bring the contract value within the Client requirements, without compromising the quality of the end product.

We began work on site  on 06/05/2011 , completing all cultivation and seeding works by 27/05/2011.

First cut & collect  was made on 07/07/2011, followed by a fertiliser application and 2 more cuts.

The site was handed over to the client and their maintenance crew on 23/07/2011. Just over 10 weeks  from the seeding date.
