Padel: How We Help Build It from the Ground Up

Padel, the fast-paced, accessible, and highly social racket sport has been taking the UK by storm. With its rising popularity demand for new padel courts and sports facilities is surging. From urban regeneration projects to community sports hubs or even back gardens, padel is becoming a central part of the nation’s evolving recreational landscape.

We recognise the opportunity that this growth presents – not only for sports development but also for sustainable construction. As ground investigation specialists, we provide essential early-stage support to developers, investors, and contractors looking to capitalise on the padel boom.

Why Ground Investigation Matters

Before construction begins, due diligence and planning is key to a successful project. Our role is to assess the suitability of a site for development, helping our clients understand risks associated with contamination, construction and cost. Early insight can be the difference between a profitable venture and costly surprises down the line.

Our comprehensive ground investigation services include:

• Detailed site investigation reports
• Soil and groundwater testing
• Waste classification
• Material management planning

Sustainable and Economical Solutions

Every padel court and sports facility needs a solid and safe foundation. We help design and deliver foundation and court solutions that are sustainable, cost-effective, and tailored to the site’s unique conditions. Our expertise helps reduce excess material waste and manage on-site resources efficiently – aligning with broader goals for sustainable construction.

Through Waste Classification and Material Management, we:

• Identify materials suitable for reuse or recycling on-site
• Minimise disposal costs and environmental impact
• Ensure full compliance with environmental and planning regulations

Supporting the Future of Sport

Padel is more than a trend – it’s becoming a permanent feature in the UK’s recreational landscape. Soiltechnics is proud to be part of that journey, offering specialist ground investigation and advisory services that help turn ambitious plans into successful, sustainable spaces.
