New City Primary School MUGA Installation February 2017

21st February 2017

The year has got off to a flying start with STM, especially on our education side of the business. With landscaping, playground and sports projects there isn’t much we can’t do for schools. This leads us to New City Primary School in London where a full MUGA installation consisting of 450 square metres of our specialist sports turf were applied to the existing tarmac surface.

MUGA Installation: From Tarmac to Turf

Remember the days that tarmac was so popular on every playground in the UK unfortunately over time we have seen growing concerns with this product. Not only is it cold, hard and even has safety issues (falling on the solid surface is likely to hurt!) but tarmac surfaces are incredibly outdated. Paint wears off after a while and the surface is so dull and unengaging.

At STM, our MUGA installations are designed, supplied and installed with our specialist artificial turf. With permanent pitch markings, a variety of vibrant colours to choose from plus a surface which is renowned for being super safe this is not an opportunity to pass up.

MUGA Installation at New City

Before we were on the scene, New City Primary School had seen better days, the school needed a revamp, an activity encourager, a PE facility, a lunchtime surface for all to enjoy.

A MUGA was installed. With field green and blue turf coupled with white pitch markings, the pupils could practice their sports skills on a regular basis.

The schools’ facilities before seem like a distant memory.

With a lifespan of up to 20 years, MUGA installations save costs in the long run.

Overall we think this MUGA is another fantastic accomplishment from the STM team!
