Wolves invest in new state-of-the-art pitch at Molineux

MJ Abbott Limited has secured the contract to reconstruct the Molineux stadium pitch for Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.

Work is well underway on the project which involves removing 300mm depth of topsoil from the existing surface, importing 1000m³ of material to increase pitch levels and the installation of full drainage, irrigation and undersoil heating systems. We will then import and construct the 450mm pitch build up comprising of a gravel carpet, lower rootzone and Fibrelastic upper rootzone before cultivating and seeding.

We will also overhaul the pitch surround areas incorporating new ducting, kerbs, tarmac surfacing and a new 3G synthetic warm-up surface along one side.

The contract also includes the reconstruction of the first team training pitch at the Premiership side’s Compton training ground.

The project has been designed and will be overseen by consultant Mike Harbridge of Professional Sportsturf Design (PSD).
