Sir Geoff Hurst Academy SEN School – Pulastic Elite Comfort Flooring Installation
Client: Kier Group
Location: Sir Geoff Hurst Academy, UK
Project Scope: Supply and installation of SSUK Pulastic Elite Comfort flooring
Overview
Sir Geoff Hurst Academy is a state-of-the-art Special Educational Needs (SEN) school designed to provide an inclusive and nurturing learning environment. To support the school’s needs, Kier Group, a leading construction and infrastructure services provider, was tasked with developing a modern and fully equipped facility.
As part of this project, Kier selected us to supply and install our Pulastic Elite Comfort, an area-elastic sports floor specifically designed to meet the rigorous Department for Education (DfE) flooring specifications.
Challenges
-The flooring needed to be versatile and durable, supporting multiple activities such as sports and recreational use.
-Compliance with strict DfE guidelines for safety, performance, and acoustic properties.
-Ensuring accessibility and comfort for students with a wide range of physical and sensory needs.
Solution
We recommended the Pulastic Elite Comfort, a premium area-elastic sports flooring system that combines functionality, safety, and comfort. This product is particularly well-suited to SEN environments due to its:
-Shock Absorption: Minimizes the risk of injuries during physical activity.
-Comfort Underfoot: Provides a forgiving surface for students with mobility challenges.
-Durability: Withstands high foot traffic and equipment use, ensuring a long lifespan.
-Acoustic Properties: Reduces noise levels, contributing to a calm and focused learning environment.
Our team worked closely with Kier and the school’s management to ensure the flooring met both technical and aesthetic requirements.
Installation Process
The installation involved:
-Subfloor Preparation: Ensuring the base layer was even and structurally sound for optimal performance.
-Application of Pulastic Elite Comfort: Our skilled technicians laid the flooring seamlessly, ensuring precision and adherence to specifications.
-Final Finishing: Adding line markings and finishes tailored to the school’s specific needs.
Outcome
-The project was delivered on time and within budget.
-The Pulastic Elite Comfort floor met all DfE specifications and exceeded expectations in terms of performance and safety.
-Staff and students have benefited from a flooring system that enhances the learning and activity experience.
