Careys were appointed principal contractor by AELTC, which runs the famed Wimbledon tennis championships, to deliver 16 new Championship-standard grass courts at their Community Sports Ground in Raynes Park, southwest London in what is a substantial groundworks, utilities, infrastructure and landscaping package of works.
Located 3.5 miles from Wimbledon’s Centre Court, the 20-acre Raynes Park community sports ground currently features six grass courts and six acrylic hard courts – three of which are covered by an inflatable pressurised dome in order to ensure year-round usage. It hosts a range of AELTC events, including the Wimbledon Junior Tennis Initiative, ball boy and ball girl training sessions and an extensive community tennis programme.
Our scope of works on the 66-week project has involved redeveloping the current grassland area into 16 new Championship-standard grass courts and three acrylic courts. This has involved carrying out:
• Surfacing for Championship-quality lawn tennis courts
• Construction of acrylic tennis courts, including a new air dome and associated enclosures
• Construction of a new haul road
• Excavation works
• Drainage installation
• Utility works
• Ring beam construction
• Footpath resurfacing works
• Construction of Maintenance building and access road to Cannon Hill Lane
