The pitch will have a goal recessed end for goal storage.The intention is to connect a new pitch drainage system into this outlet chamber with a restricteddischarge rate. Attenuation of drainage water will be undertaken in the stone sub-base used as aformation to the pitch construction.The site investigation has shown that there is a layer of potentially expandable slag material presentclose to the existing surface. A proportion of this material may need to be removed off site and it isclassified as hazardous waste. A provisional sum allowance has been made if this is required. TheEarth Science Partnership geotechnical investigation has shown that the slag material has thecapacity to expand by approximately 1% when wetted for a prolonged period. They have thereforerecommended that the material is covered with an impermeable membrane to reduce the risk ofany expansion.The appointed contractor will therefore be required to design and install an impermeable membranesystem to be installed over the formation and through the drain lines and under fencing. The areato be covered is the pitch and goal storage area footprint including the external mowing strips.Pitch drainage water will need to be attenuated under the pitch footprint therefore the membranewill need to be totally impermeable to prevent ingress of water into the underlying slag material.The installation of a 250 lux LED floodlighting system and 5 m high rebound fencing will be required.Tasks will include but not limited to:Setting outUndertake access road condition surveySet up compound areaSpray off topsoil with total herbicideStrip topsoil and remove off siteCut and fill formation and access pathGrade subsoil formationSupply and install drainage system to all work areasSupply and install silt traps and inspection chambersSupply and install impermeable membrane with protection geotextiles over graded formation through drain linesSupply & install geogrid - (Provisional)Supply and install stone baseSupply and install macadam layerSupply and install shockpadSupply and install WORLD RUGBY/FIFA Quality (60mm pile) carpet with sand and SBR crumb infill.Install goal recess areaSupply install 5m high rebound fencingSupply and install 250 Lux LED floodlight systemSupply and in stall socketed rugby goal and mobile football goalsSupply and install rubber crumb containment systemSupply and install detox areas at yellow gatesInstall access pathEmploy WORLD RUGBY / FIFA accredited independent test house to undertakekeystage tests during construction and undertake independent testing of the 3G rugby/football areas to World Rugby and FIFA Quality standards.Accreditation to World Rugby Regulation 22 and EN 15330-1Reinstatement of any damage from plant and weatherReinstate compound areasClean roadsReinstate damage to site access roadsLandscaping works
