Dunsfold - 60m x 20m Arena - Access Tracks - Hard-standing - Lunge Pen - Horse-walker - Fencing

A multi-faceted job for a great client.  Awkward access meant all materials had to be tipped offsite and ferried in on tractors and trailers.  The end result looks great though.

Arena Refurbishment - Hascombe - Surrey

Our client approached us to rescue his arena, which wasn't so much neglected as poorly constructed in the first place.  An all too common occurrence unfortunately and one which we can solve with the correct approach, materials and machinery.  This arena suffered form a catalogue of problems including lack of membranes, drainage and drainage layer.  The formation layer was uphill and down dale and the surface consequently varied in depth from 25mm to 200mm.  New drains, carboniferous limestone drainage layer, heavy duty flame welded geotextile and accurate reinstatement of the old surface gave this arena a burst of new life and the client, in his own words "a new office to work in".
