Description

Replacement of playground at Swanley Recreation Ground.

To create a wetpour base with a new wetpour safety surface which compiles with BSEN 1176 and has a minimum guarantee of 2 years but preferably longer. A maintenance plan is a desirable extra service we would like. The product should have been tested in accordance with BS EN 1177 and BS EN 7188.

To remove existing equipment, wetpour and then top soil with seed the current playarea and replace with new equipment in a new location on the Recreation Ground with a significantly uplifted play value compared to the current playground.

The area and equipment where possible should follow a space theme.

On-site meetings are essential with supporting information provided at that meeting.
