When embarking on the development of a sports field or facility, the journey begins with a feasibility study—an essential first step that ensures your project is set for success. Whether upgrading an existing Field of Play or developing a new one, a feasibility study provides the critical insights needed to move forward confidently, reducing the risks associated with construction and long-term operations. At SPORTENG, we specialise in conducting detailed feasibility studies that help clients assess every aspect of their project, from site conditions to budget projections.
Why is a Feasibility Study crucial for sports field development?
A feasibility study is about gathering critical data that forms the foundation of your entire project. It’s not just a simple assessment; it’s an in-depth investigation into the viability of your sports field development. By conducting a feasibility study, you’ll ensure that your plans align with industry standards, meet the needs of all stakeholders, and ultimately lead to a successful facility that’s financially sustainable and operationally effective.
At SPORTENG, we understand that every sports field project is unique. Our team of experts evaluates the project from multiple angles, ensuring that all variables—from environmental conditions to budget constraints—are considered, creating a strong foundation for sustainable development.
What does a Feasibility Study for sports fields involve?
Unlike traditional architects who focus solely on design, SPORTENG’s feasibility studies are comprehensive, covering every aspect of the project’s viability.
Here’s how we approach it:
Strategic Assessment
A feasibility study begins with understanding the strategic need for your sports field. We’ll work with you to clarify the project’s long-term goals, its expected usage, and how it can serve the community for years to come. This stage ensures that your Field of Play meets both current and future needs while also evaluating the broader social and economic benefits of the facility. This process incorporates sustainability features, ensuring your facility has a minimal environmental impact and serves as a lasting community asset.
Stakeholder Consultation
Every sports field project involves multiple stakeholders. SPORTENG works closely with community groups, sporting bodies, and local councils to gather insights into their needs. This collaborative approach ensures that the final facility will meet the demands of all involved, fostering a positive relationship with the stakeholders and ensuring their continued support. We actively ensure that the sustainability of the facility remains a priority, considering the requirements of all user groups.
Environmental and Site Assessments
We dive deep into the existing conditions of the site, evaluating factors such as soil quality, irrigation requirements, and the environmental impact of the project. These assessments help determine the suitability of the site for a sports field and guide decisions about site preparation and construction methods. For example, we may identify whether the current soil is suitable for re-use, helping you save on costs and reduce environmental impact, contributing to the overall sustainability of your facility.
