Polypipe's Landcoil scores at Ipswich Town FC Academy Training Facilities
Due to the nature of the site and heavy seasonal usage, over 2,000m Polypipe’s Landcoil system was installed by Les Cotton Contractors at the end of the 2015/16 football to minimise the disruption of the clubs’ daily operations.
When the training pitches at Ipswich Town Football Club required a new land drainage solution to prevent waterlogged training pitches, Polypipe was called upon to supply its Landcoil system.
Working closely with main contractor Les Cotton Contractors, Polypipe supplied its PVCu Landcoil land drainage solution in 80mm and 100mm diameters. Installed beneath the pitches at the clubs Playford Road training ground, Polypipe’s Landcoil offers significant improvements to the existing pitches which suffered from waterlogging.
The Landcoil system is connected by integral couplers with a three-lug design, which allowed for an easy installation on-site and removed the possibility of the coils becoming dislodged and moving away from each other during installation. Junctions were used to connect the system together across the pitches.
Carrying the BS 4962 quaility Kitemark, Polypipe’s Landcoil is manufactured from durable PVCu and is available in a range of diameters and coil lengths. Compatible with an extensive range of fittings, Landcoil is simple to install and perfect for land drainage projects.
Darren Cotton, at Les Cotton Contractors, comments: “Ipswich Town FC needed to keep their training pitches in the best possible condition, in all weathers throughout the football season, and we knew that Polypipe’s Landcoil could solve the problem of waterlogging within the training ground. It is an easy system to install, and will keep players on the pitches for years to come.”
