Hockey Pitch Construction at Merchant Taylors School Northwood

Merchant Taylors School Northwood case study

Adsum Sport and Play brings more than 25 years of experience to the design and construction of 2G pitches, delivering surfaces that provide reliable performance and long term durability for hockey, football training and a range of school and community sports. Our work is primarily focused within the counties surrounding our Buckinghamshire headquarters, supported by a national footprint that allows us to deliver consistently wherever Leisure Operators are based.

A modern 2G pitch is designed to offer a fast, true playing surface with excellent ball glide, making it the preferred choice for hockey while also supporting football training and general multi‑sport use. Construction typically involves precise ground preparation, a stable engineered base, and a sand‑dressed or sand‑filled synthetic turf system that delivers predictable ball movement and secure footing. When built correctly, a 2G surface provides year round consistency, reduced weather disruption and a dependable platform for both competitive and recreational play.

We deliver each project through a Prime Contractor model, overseeing planning, governance and quality assurance while working with trusted local subcontractors for specialist installation. This approach ensures every stage of the build is tightly managed, technically sound and aligned with the client’s performance requirements, resulting in a 2G pitch that is built to last and ready for sustained, high intensity use.
