Project summary
Drainage at the first new racecourse constructed in the UK for decades

MJ Abbott carried out the following scope of work:
- Installation of 25,000 linear metres of 80mm diameter lateral pipework at 7 metre centres
- Installation of 3,500 linear metres of mainlines pipework. Mainlines pipework sizes range from 125mm to 300mm diameter twinwall pipes
- All drainage water is directed to the on-site Irrigation lake

Concurrently with the drainage project, MJ Abbott also installed the new irrigation system at Ffos Las.
