When the training ground at Ipswich Town Football Club required a new land drainage solution to precent waterlogged training pitches, Polypipe Civils & Green Urbanisation [Polypipe CGU] was called upon to supply its Landcoil system.

Working closely with the main contractor, Les Cotton Contractors, Polypipe CGU supplied its PVCu Landcoil land drainage solution in 80mm and 100mm diameters. Installed beneath the pitches at the club’s Playford Road training ground, Landcoil offers significant improvements to the existing pitches, which had previously suffered from waterlogging.

The Landcoil system is connected via integral couplers with a three-lug design; this allowed for easy installation on site and removed the possibility of the coils becoming dislodged and moving away from each other during the installation process. Junctions were used to connect the system together across the pitches.

Carrying the BS 4962 quality Kitemark, Polypipe CGU’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, this solution is simple to install and perfect for land drainage projects.

Les Cotton Contractors’ Darren Cotton said: “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 CGU’s Landcoil could solve the problem of waterlogging within the training ground. It’s an easy system to install and will keep players on the pitch for years to come.”
