A newly
built secondary school in the North East of England has had its sports pitch
constructed and grounds landscaped by Brambledown Landscape Services, one of
the UK's leading Landscaping, Sports Pitch & Groundwork operations.
Brambledown
Landscape Services turned to Green-tech to supply premium grade Green-tree
topsoil, specifically manufactured for high quality sports pitch application.
Green-tree
advisers met with Brambledown Landscape Services and a soil consultant early in
the supply chain process as the material needed to meet stringent requirements
for agronomic make up and drainage. It was agreed that the end product would be
manufactured using Green Pas100 compost and selected sands.
The
requirement was for over 2000 tonnes of Green-tree topsoil to be supplied in a
very narrow time frame. The Green-tech team pulled together a comprehensive
schedule to ensure that the topsoil was manufactured and stockpiled in a
quarantined area; ready for the pre-validation testing that was required before
input could commence.
Once the
data came back as suitable and the soil was signed off, Green-tech organised
haulage to fulfil the challenging schedule.
The
Green-tech team worked closely with Brambledown to ensure that the deliveries
were timely and kept pace with the gang placing and spreading the topsoil;
ready for the drainage and turfing to be laid.
Commenting
on the project Paul Curry, Director of Brambledown Landscape Services said: “We
were really pleased with the high level of service we received from Green-tech.
"They
were able to meet the rigorous demands of the design specification and supply
parameters whilst maintaining the product quality and consistency that we
needed for a high-quality sports pitch.
"We
worked closely with them, and all stakeholders involved, to manage the supply
chain requirements from start to finish. We were delighted with the quality of
the product and the advice and service we received. Our client is thrilled with
the finished multi sports pitch.”
Business
Development Director Mark Wood from Green-tech added: “Early in the contract
discussions it became apparent that the contractor’s priority was to source the
right material for the proposed end use. This showed us that their desire was
to deliver the best solution for their client as opposed to being driven purely
by cost.
"This
refreshing approach meant we could work collaboratively with all parties to
ensure the highest quality product was supplied into this project.”
