Radley College, Oxford, has added new sporting facilities with help of Speedcut Contractors. The college has a reputation for some of the best sporting facilities in the country.
The new work will create extra pitches on former agricultural ground.
Speedcut Contractors of Oxford have created a new 2.2 hectare plateau on which a rugby pitch, football pitch and cricket square will be created.
“The job was not without its problems, involving an underground spring and different types of soil material including sand, clay and gravel. The levels all had to be altered to meet the local terrain.
“This was a challenging job but the result will be an excellent surface for new pitches to be created,” says Speedcut contracts manager Kevin Smith.
Speedcut employed all their heavy-duty machinery at Radley, including the laser-guided Caterpillar D6, JCBs, and dumper trucks.
