Project: Installation of Liquid Floor Screed for Practice Cricket Pitch


Seamless Upgrade: Hyde Cricket Club's Improved Training Ground with Clockwork Screed's Liquid Floor Technology

Hyde Cricket Club, situated on the top of a hill, decided to upgrade its facilities with a new practice cricket pitch equipped with matting and nets. Clockwork Screed, a specialist in liquid floor concrete screed and poured insulation, was chosen to complete the project due to its reputation for delivering high-quality work and expertise in dealing with the specific challenges posed by the location.


Hyde Cricket Club's primary objective was to provide its members with a top-notch practice cricket pitch. Several advantages, including durability, surface levelness, and efficient installation drove the choice of liquid floor concrete screed. Despite the club's hilltop location, Clockwork's liquid floor concrete screed truck and pump technology were employed to ensure a smooth installation process. Liquid floor screed can be pumped up to 100m from the truck location.


Hyde Cricket Club's Improved Training Ground with Clockwork Screed's Liquid Floor


Clockwork Screed’s liquid floor screed provided Hyde Cricket Club with several advantages. Firstly, liquid floor concrete screed is recognised for its exceptional durability, making it an ideal choice for a cricket pitch that endures frequent practices and training sessions. This longevity ensures that the pitch remains in good condition over the long term, effectively serving the club's needs.


Secondly, practice cricket pitches require a perfectly level playing surface to uphold consistent gameplay. Clockwork’s liquid floor screed created a smooth and level foundation, which is paramount for accurate ball bounce and maintaining high standards in player performance.


The efficiency of installation is a noteworthy benefit. Liquid floor screed streamlines the installation process, outpacing traditional screeding methods. This accelerated process minimises disruptions to the club's daily activities, allowing them to continue using their facilities with minimal interruption.


The use of liquid floor concrete screed greatly enhances the playability of the practice cricket pitch. It provides a uniform and predictable playing surface for practice, which is essential for player development and honing of skills.


Hyde Cricket Club's hilltop location initially presented a logistical challenge for the project. However, Clockwork Screed's expertise in liquid floor concrete pumping proved invaluable. By using this technology, Clockwork could transport the concrete efficiently over the extended distance required to reach the installation site. This approach ensured that the club's elevated position did not hinder the project's progress.


Hyde Cricket Club expressed their gratitude and satisfaction with the work carried out by Clockwork Screed. They commended Clockwork Screed for their exceptional job, which not only met but exceeded their expectations. The club specifically appreciated Clockwork Screed's professionalism, technical expertise, and ability to tackle the unique challenges presented by the hilltop location.


Clockwork Screed's skill in addressing these challenges was crucial in delivering a successful outcome for Hyde Cricket Club. The club's appreciation reflects the successful collaboration between Clockwork Screed and Hyde Cricket Club, resulting in an improved practice cricket pitch that met the club's needs and left a positive impact on their facilities and the overall satisfaction of their members.

 

Hyde Cricket Club, commented:

"On behalf of Hyde Cricket Club and myself, I extend our heartfelt thanks to Clockwork Screed for delivering an outstanding job from start to finish. The end result has exceeded our expectations. Clockwork Screed's professionalism, technical know-how, and ability to address the unique challenges presented by our hilltop location have been truly commendable.”

 

The successful installation of liquid floor concrete screed for Hyde Cricket Club's new practice cricket pitch has greatly enhanced the club's training facilities. Clockwork Screed's ability to deliver a durable, level, and efficiently installed surface, even in the face of location challenges, has made a significant difference. The club now boasts a top-quality practice pitch that will serve its members well for years to come.


This project demonstrates how the advantages of liquid floor concrete screed can be harnessed to create a superior cricket pitch, even in challenging environments.

Building Regulation Changes Regarding Insulation in Roofs: Why Clockwork Screed's Poured Insulation is an Ideal Choice
6 December 2024
When it comes to building or renovating a property, one of the most important considerations is insulation. Effective insulation can make a significant difference in energy efficiency, comfort, and the overall cost of maintaining a building. Here’s why poured insulation, such as the solutions offered by Clockwork Screed, is a smart choice for property owners, builders, and contractors. Poured insulation is a liquid material that is poured directly onto the subfloor to create a continuous thermal layer. Unlike traditional insulation boards, which can be cumbersome to install and often leave gaps, poured insulation fills every space evenly, ensuring there are no cold spots or areas where heat can escape. One of the primary advantages of poured insulation is its ability to enhance energy efficiency. By providing a seamless thermal barrier, it helps retain heat in the winter and keeps the building cool in the summer. This means that heating and cooling systems don’t have to work as hard, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced energy consumption.
