Following a detailed tender process Agripower secured the project to construct of a full size, multi use sports pitch for the John Hampden Grammar School under a project commissioned by Wycombe District Council.

Wycombe Council's investment of over £650,000 in the new sports surface fits with the school's ethos of encouraging pupils to complement their academic life with an awareness of healthy living and an active interest in sport.

Chosen for its extended life expectancy, TigerTurf's Evo Pro utilises advanced fibre technology and is an exceptional product for elite level Hockey. Built with a sand and rubber infill, Evo Pro is also fully compliant with the International Hockey Federation's (FIH) National standard - guaranteeing professional quality player interaction and a satisfactory standard for international matches and/or tournaments.

TigerTurf's highly accredited Evo Pro is also well suited for the creation of a Multi-Use Games Area; enabling schools to maximise their investment by benefitting from a versatile outdoor space that caters to a range of different sports.

The 14 week installation project at John Hampden School not only included the bespoke 101.5m x 63m sports pitch, but also recesses, floodlighting and fencing.
