Project Overview:

The Army Public School in Bangalore partnered with Gallant Sports, a well-known sports infrastructure company, to develop a national football field with a new type of boundary to track and fence. The main aim was for providing a safe and amicable environment for the children to play football and run on the track. Gallant Sports was selected for its track record of building sports facilities that meet professional standards and its commitment to quality as well as sustainability.

Objectives:

• Create High-Quality Sports Fields: Done by installing a professional-grade football field running on one side with a proper running track on the other, and using both for football competitions and athletics practices.
• Physical Education Propagation: Administrators should support sports-minded initiatives in the school such as the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, as well as fostering teamwork and discipline through the participation of the pupils in sports.
• Guarantee, Safety and Security: Install a durable fence around the field designed for the safety of the students and teachers.
• Satisfy Professional Standards: Build a sports complex that complies with international standards satisfied with the facility to accommodate games and practice sessions.

Project Phases:

• Planning and Design

Gallant Sports have prepared the groundwork through a thorough investigation of the project site by the engineers before the establishment of a football pitch and running track. Their engineers have come up with a plan that very efficiently uses the land and completely follows international football field dimensions and health and safety regulations. The scheme envisaged a 400-meter track around the soccer field, with additional amenities for other athletic events. 

• Base Work and Ground Preparation

The field where the ground works were to ensue was rooted out of pretty much every record of the constructions before it was cleaned. The machinery earthmoving and grading can improve surfaces, and, thus, the earth will be perfectly flat. Drainage is set in such a way that surface water will stay clear, mainly during rain when the field will still be in use. With the soil layer stabilizing said, the gravel layer may start to be laid in[to] the base to further the drainage and the setting of the turf.

• Grass Turf Installation

“The choice of grass was made considering that it should be a resistance grass suitable for the weather in Bangalore and can withstand the football play,” the Apiary Sports manager said. A seeder is then used to distribute the grass seeds in the field in a way that they cover the entire area. A detailed maintenance schedule that includes regular watering, mowing, and fertilization has been implemented to sustain the high quality of the field.

• Track Marking

For the positioning, the team used GPS to mark the center of the 400-meter track with its football field perfectly. Gallant Sports have been using the first-class paint that a UV-attack would be resistant to paint each track line, ensuring they would be usable/have their function for a longer period of time apart from the normal wear and tear. Furthermore, other reconstructions were carried out, such as the long jump runway and throwing nets, to give space for them for the utility of the area.

• Fencing Work

The durable fencing has been installed by Gallant Sports around the field of both piste and track thus preventing intruders from gaining access and displacing unscreened items. The roofing was designed to improve the beauty of the school and also to increase safety. There are several access points and gates for easy entry and exit when there are events and maintenance activities.

• Quality Assurance and Finalization

The quality assurance lesson of the Gallant Sports group was carried out extensively throughout the project making both the team and their client cover them as much as possible. Any little adjustments that arose were stopped from evolving and the facility was made to heal all the safety and performance problem. The project was supposed to be taken up after its final approval from the administrative officer of the Army Public School.

Challenges Faced

• Weather Delays: The increase in the duration of the project resulted from the unexpected rain that fell during the monsoon season which was unanticipated in the plan and it’ required modifications in the time schedule.
• Budget Management: The management of high-quality construction with spending restrictions was a tough task that Gallant Sports handled by long-range planning and resource targeting.
• Space Optimization: The Gallant Sports team had to think outside the box to create a design in a way which is in keeping with standard dimensions but also gives room for a variety of sports activities in the little available space.

Outcomes:

• Sports Fields of Superior Quality: The recently-constructed football and athletics tracks are both graded to the professional degree and this extra facility has largely boosted the school’s sports infrastructure.
• Student Participation: This is clear evidence that sports have become popular due to the new training facilities, which have, in turn, boosted students’ participation in the physical activities’ sleeper, team, and fellowship.
• Safer School Environment: As a result of the building of the boundary wall, unauthorized access, which is the primary cause of the dramatic increase in school safety, has been reduced.
• Recognition and Community Involvement: The new facilities have even made the high schools host inter-school sports events enabling them to stand out and be more involved in the community.

Conclusion

The installation of the football field with track marking and fencing at Army Public School, Bangalore, done by Gallant Sports has had a successful completion. The project has resulted in strengthening not only the school’s sport infrastructure but also the physical fitness of the students. Gallant Sports’ skill and the power of its long lastingness in the area of construction are presented in the creation of an international facility at the schools which by itself is an example to the rest of the schools of the region. The collaboration between Army Public School and Gallant Sports has set a new standard for sports facilities in educational institutions.
