Description

EXPP: Terenure Sports Club (established 1904) is a multi-sports club. We are planning to refurbish and upgrade our existing outdoor cricket practice area. These practice facilities are where players practice bowling and batting and are usually known as nets. Nets generally comprise a rectangular metal frame of tubular steel, with tubular sections overhead to complete the frame. A light netting is fixed to the top, sides and back of the frame to restrict where the balls can go. The flooring in the nets is a concrete base with artificial turf on top. In Terenure Sports Club (Cricket Section), the existing nets have been in place for over 20 years and are severely dilapidated. We propose refurbishing the existing nets and upgrading them to create a longer, safer netted area. The project will involve (a) the reorientation of the frame to facilitate a longer, safer netted area (b) the extension of the concrete underflooring to facilitate the longer netted area, (c) the replacement of the existing fixed poles with similar, but removable, poles to form a removable frame, (d) the replacement of the current netting with new netting, (e) the replacement of the existing artificial turf flooring in the netted area with artificial turf and the addition of artificial turf for the run up area, and (f) the addition of a shipping container for additional storage.
