Sports facility design and installation

Sports complex design

The design for any sports complex needs careful consideration as the site is home to a range of varying sports facilities. Each individual area should be separated but connected through an overarching design. This helps to achieve the feeling of a sports complex as opposed to several standalone areas. To achieve this, we utilise the use of public walkways, outdoor facilities and the natural environment create an inclusive zone feeling. Every sports complex should make its visitors feel like they're in one area, even if they're at opposite ends of the site.
‍
A consistent design across varying sports facilities can prove to be a challenge when you're installing a football pitch next to a tennis court, but this is where Morti Sport & Play can help. We'll meet with you and grasp what it is you're trying to achieve, the space available and how we think the project should be approached. We'll use our expertise and your vision to create a well-equipped and high functioning complex.

Sports pitches

The primary attraction of complexes is without a doubt state of the art sports pitches and courts. After all, they're the main feature of any sports complex, and they're what attract players and crowds. Many sports have pitch guidelines set by their relevant governing bodies such as the size of the court, height of the nets and line markings. Understanding the requirements of sports pitches is a necessity if you're hosting professional sports or looking to attract high-level athletes. We're experienced in sports pitch design and the regulations, and we'll handle this aspect of the design for you. You just need to tell us what sports pitches you need installed, and we'll make sure it adheres to the top-level standards.

MUGA pitch design

MUGA pitch design can be incredibly adaptive depending on the space available and your intended usage. They can be designed as a single area that can be configured for different sports, or an extended zone that can host multiple games at the same time. An essential aspect of MUGA pitch design is the consideration of features such as fencing and flooring. A MUGA should be secure while being inclusive of features that complement the sports being offered. 

MUGA refurbishments

If your MUGA pitch is in need of refurbishment, we can upgrade, repair and replace your current solution. We have a variety of options depending on the current state of your pitch and available budget.

Our services include:

Tennis court design

Tennis court design can come in a variety of dimensions, giving the flexibility to choose from a size that best suits your site. Tennis court markings, on the other hand, are universal and shouldn't deviate from the recommended size. When we approach a tennis court design project, we'll visit you to understand what it is you need, the site in question and the best solution moving forward. There a variety of customisation options for your tennis court such as the fencing type and surfacing. We'll be with you throughout the process to advise on what we think works best and use your feedback to agree on a design before the construction takes place.

Football pitch surfacing options

Our artificial pitches are an excellent solution for all sites. They require less maintenance than traditional grass pitches and offer a durable surface that will last well into the future. All of our pitch installations comply with the regulations set by FA and FIFA, meaning they’re officially recognised for their quality and use for football matches. We provide a range of pitch and surface types that can be suited to your project and your needs:

• 2g sand dressed synthetic grass - short artificial grass with a turf carpet and thin layer of sand installed within the grass fibre. This allows for smooth ball gliding, durability and an excellent playing surface for a variety of sports. Available with or without a shockpad.
• 3g sand and rubber dressed - a solution that offers longer synthetic grass than 2g options. This surfacing type features sand with the addition of rubber crumb to aid in shock absorption during game time whilst offering a more natural feel underfoot. 
• Porous macadam - most commonly featured in MUGA football pitch installations, porous macadam is a soft tarmac surface that features anti-slip properties.
• Play grass for schools - artificial turf that can be installed in a variety of colours. This creative surface is fantastic for innovative designs and demands low maintenance.
• Resurfacing - if you already have a football pitch with a deteriorated surface, we can help to bring your area back to life with our resurfacing options.
• Surface drainage - old tarmac surfaces can suffer from poor drainage. If you’re experiencing this on an existing site, we can combat this issue by drilling holes every metre and over skimming the playing surface with a porous tarmac solution.
