Multi Use Games Areas - Sheffield Hallam University Sports Park

Jointline has successfully completed a contract at Sheffield Hallam University Sports Park for McArdle Sport Tec. The Jointline team delivered high-quality line markings for two refurbished Artificial Sport Pitches.

The contract involved providing the finishing touch line marking to the recently resurfaced 3G Pitches installed by McArdle’s, a specialist contractor in sports surfaces.

The two 3G pitches that needed marking were:

One pitch featuring inlaid white lining for rugby, in which Jointline were contracted to line mark a regulation American football pitch, finished in orange, and two 7 a-side pitches, finished in blue.

The other pitch that was finished with an inlaid white 11 a-side football pitch, in which Jointline line marked a 7 a-side football pitch.

All line markings were executed using Sports Coatings Sports-Line AG, a premium artificial grass and polymeric surface line-marking paint. This paint offers excellent durability, colour retention, and resistance to wear and tear. Importantly, it meets and exceeds the necessary player/surface interaction characteristics to comply with current SAPCA (Sports and Play Construction Association) standards.

Sheffield Hallam University Sports Park, located on Bawtry Road in Sheffield, is a comprehensive facility offering a range of sports and recreation amenities. These include grass pitches, synthetic pitches, tennis courts, and cricket nets. The newly installed MUGAs will significantly enhance the existing provision and cater for a variety of different sports such as football, rugby, and American football.

Matt Ragless, Head of Central Lining for Jointline, commented on the project's success: "We are immensely proud to have collaborated on another project with McArdle Sport Tec, this time on a prestigious project at Sheffield Hallam University. Our team's expertise in line marking has ensured that the new 3G pitches are not only functional but also adhere to the highest industry standards. We extend our sincere gratitude to them for their exemplary work and exceptional quality of finish.”

The use of Sports Coatings Sports-Line AG paint guarantees longevity and performance, aligning with the university's commitment to providing top-tier sports facilities for its students.

The successful completion of the line marking contract, along with the American Football lining, adds another feather to the company's cap in the realm of line marking for all surfaces. It also elevates the standard of sports facilities at Sheffield Hallam University, making it a preferred destination for students and athletes alike.
