Overview
Tenders are invited for the re-surfacing of the athletics track at Sandy Stadium. The track was constructed in 2005 by Smith Construction and is currently surfaced with Polytan WS porous synthetic surfacing.

The works mainly involve the removal and replacement of the entire synthetic surfacing and re-marking, together with certain additional peripheral improvements (breaking out and replacing the shot and hammer/discus circles; attending to the drainage of all circles, troughs and inserts; cleaning of the water jump; crack repair to the external macadam path; reconstruction of the jump landing sand pit). Contract start date: 1st February 2017 and must be completed before 1st June 2017.
