The construction phase of the project, scheduled to take around 7 weeks, includes tree root removal, excavation of greens formation, main and lateral drainage installation, concrete channel installation, green construction, path installation and final surface installation.

Following the completion of the construction, Fineturf will maintain both greens for a 12 month period before full handover and bowling commences.

The double ended long and triple jump runway was 53m long x 1.22m wide and the two landing pits were 9m long x 3m wide.

Fineturf’s Volvo 360 excavated the formation of the runway and landing pits and using laser guided equipment the levels were set.

A concrete pin kerb edging was installed on the runway and the jump pit edging was rubber topped for safety reasons. A concrete slab walkway was also fitted around the jump pit.

The runway was constructed using a clean stone base prior to laying a porous macadam course and the final surface, a rubber wet pour surface. Foundation troughs and take off boards were fitted to allow long jump from both ends and triple jump from one end.

The Russell Square turf works included cultivation with a Blecavator and ground preparation with a pedestrian rotor rake before final ground preparation, by hand. The surface was installed using big roll turf.

Further work in Russell Square and 3 other sites included deep tine aeration, with 19mm solid tines and overseeding using a Vredo disc seeder and Limagrain MM50 grass seed.

In October 2011 we reconstructed the 13th green on the John O’ Gaunt course to USGA specification.

The existing turf was removed using the excavator. The green formation was shaped and a solid consolidated base constructed down to formation to allow for the material required during the construction build up. The excavator power tilt bucket was then used to cut drainage trenches into the formation in which 100mm perforated drainage pipe was laid. The trenches were backfilled with 4-10mm washed gravel.

With the drainage installed, a 100mm 4-10mm washed gravel carpet was spread across the entire base. Following this, using a 2-4mm grit, a 25mm blinding layer was installed and finally a 350mm layer of 70/30 rootzone completed the construction profile. For more information on a golf green construction take a look at our article from a project at Thorpe Wood Golf Club.

The excavator then shaped the surrounds ensuring the contours married into the new green and surrounding fairway.

The surface was installed using big roll turf, 70% Fescue, 30% Bent greens mixture on USGA sand.

The 200 yard par 3 4th hole now contains 6 bunkers, 3 on either side of the green, creating a very challenging tee shot for the golfers. The extension to the 18th tee has added extra distance to the hole during competition play.

The time lapse movie below shows the bunker renovation on the 4th hole.
