Abstract/Contents: | Focuses on the potential importance in planning prior to the construction of athletic fields or facilities, and provides recommendations for conducting a feasibility study. States that "the main advantage of carrying out a feasibility study is that an informed decision can be made on the most appropriate design to use for the project." Details the tendering process, and emphasizes the need for on-site monitoring during construction. Suggests that maintenance practices following the completion of construction influences the long-term success of the project. Concludes that "the objective of this article has been to highlight the processes that should be followed during a major surface renovation or construction project to help ensure its successful conclusion." |
