Case study: White Hart Lane, UK 

When the local tennis facility was due for renovation, New River Sport started preparing a business plan to build new indoor tennis courts. Costs of a new indoor tennis structure should be within budget and built according to strict UK quality and building standards. After investigating various options for tennis court covering systems, DUOL came up with the best solution.

For a fast and cost-effective solution the decision was made to go with a Tennis air dome, the speedy installation of this type of structure means the facility can be erected and ready for use in a fraction of the time taken for a traditional build.


Project background

When Haringey Council were offering a number of leisure sites for privatization Fusion Lifestyle spotted an opportunity to develop and grow the facility. There was a good mix of sports available at the club, which included tennis, a relatively new sport to the Fusion portfolio.

The existing four courts outdoor facility at the club was already popular with locals however the area was not known as a tennis venue. Due to the location of the club, it was mainly utilized by the local community, the outdoor courts were relatively busy so tennis was quickly identified as a potential growth area to expose the club to a wider audience. An indoor tennis facility would allow all year round participation in the sport, an opportunity to increase the facilities on offer and a facility designed to competition standards would open a myriad of opportunities for both the business and the sportsmen.



Solution

The indoor tennis structure has to cover 4 tennis courts. DUOL offered a complete solution; a flexible tennis court tent structure with dimensions 36m x 62m x 11m. The tennis court roof structure was equipped with heating, lighting and ventilation system. DUOL's tennis court canopy has been developed and built according to the latest energy and environmental standards.

As tennis air domes are entirely air supported structures, the foundations are often much less costly than other types of structures and the anchoring system means the facility can be constructed on existing surfaces, the build went smoothly with no inconvenience to the existing club services.
