The school’s outdoor sports court was out of use due to sinkholes, root intrusion, subgrade failure and severe water ponding. A lasting fix required full subgrade remediation and a redesigned surface, delivered safely within an operating school.
Solve Civil mapped the site using a GPS rover survey and drone imagery, then designed a full base-to-surface renewal. Works comprised installing agricultural drains, reshaping the V-drains, milling out failed subgrade, placing and compacting 150 mm of DGB20 road base to a 1% fall, laying 30 mm of AC hotmix asphalt and installing a synthetic turf sports surface.
The court now drains freely and the ponding and surface hazards have been removed, giving the school a level, multi-sport surface built for long-term use. Works were delivered by Solve Civil’s ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified team, with all personnel holding Working With Children Checks, and were managed around school operations without disruption.
