This arena was of shoddy construction and with a poor surface. Our poor client had trusted the contractor to do a good job and had been badly let down – this arena base and surface lasted a matter of years before it failed, something that makes our blood boil as there is no excuse for this. They came to us originally to inspect the arena and advise, once we had done this we worked with the yard manager, onsite team, headmaster and bursar on a workable solution to a tight budget. We also had to schedule works in the school holidays to minimise disruption.
