The Faithful Fields, Offaly County Board

The Background

The need for a state of the art training facility in Offaly has been clearly identified for several years. In 2014 Offaly County Board took action with the decision to purchase and develop a greenfield site in Kilcormac, Co. Offaly. The “Faithful Fields” project was born.

The solution

Hayden Turfcare were engaged to carry out our full Six Stage Project Management Process.

The development of four state of the art full-size GAA pitches was planned, covering an area of 60,000 m2 and requiring nearly 50,000 m3 of earth movement.

Detailed project design and management was led by Hayden Turfcare and supported by local architects Peter Lyons and Co. Following a competitive tender process, local company Penturf were appointed as contractors.

The Result

With excellent collaboration between the club and contractors, a very efficient project was delivered ahead of schedule and below budget. The pitches were playable within 4 months of seeding.

Ongoing maintenance advice from Hayden Turfcare continues.
