We were recently contacted by a client needing urgent help after a fire caused serious damage to their synthetic sports surface. The incident had left a large section of the sports surface unsafe and unusable, halting all activity on the facility. Our team was brought in to deliver a fast, effective, and long-lasting repair solution that would restore the area to full working condition.
Assessing the Fire Damage
The first step involved a detailed site inspection to assess the full extent of the fire damage to the synthetic surface. Once we identified the affected areas, we removed the damaged material and carried out a deep clean of the existing base. This process was essential to ensure that the new surface would bond properly and remain structurally sound.
Choosing the Right Surface, Needlepunch Carpet.
After assessing the site’s usage and future wear potential, we selected needlepunch synthetic carpet as the most suitable replacement material. This type of sports surfacing is ideal for multi-use games areas (MUGAs), school sports courts, and high-traffic sports environments due to its durability and low-maintenance nature.
Needlepunch also provides a consistent playing surface, excellent underfoot grip, and reliable performance in all weather conditions. Making it a smart, cost-effective solution for outdoor sports surfacing.
Precision Installation for Long-Term Performance
We sourced high-quality needlepunch carpet, tailored to fit the exact dimensions of the fire damaged section. Once the base was fully prepared and levelled, our installation team laid the new surface with precision, ensuring a smooth, seamless fit.
To maintain the integrity of the installation:
- The carpet was carefully tensioned to eliminate wrinkles or movement.
- All joints and seams were professionally sealed.
- Edges were securely fixed to prevent lifting over time.
Final Finishing & Quality Checks
After installation, we carried out a full surface inspection to ensure the new synthetic surface met our quality standards. We also made final adjustments where necessary to achieve a perfect finish.
The Result
The project was completed on schedule, with minimal disruption to the client. The newly installed needlepunch sports surface not only restored the area’s safety and usability but also gave it a fresh, clean appearance. With its enhanced durability and weather resistance, the facility is now fully equipped to handle regular use for years to come.
