Pre-Installation:

Pre-Installation Phase Before installing the play area or during the design stage, it’s crucial to evaluate the proposed play/open space design.

This ensures there are no infringements of BS EN 1176 & BS EN 1177 Standards. Inspections help ensure that the playground’s demographics and location don’t put anyone at risk due to proximity to roads, open water, major road access, closed locations, electrical substations, railway lines, etc. furthermore developers may have to provide a play/open space for the local authorities planning regulations in keeping with PAN 65 at MFD we can assess the design and liaise with the local authority to ensue the proposal meets with the local authorities conditions reducing the likelihood of continual amendments.

It is also a consideration that the play area may require a sports facility such as MUGA (multi-use games areas) are small sports pitches that you would typically find at schools, leisure centres, local parks and sports clubs.

They can be used to play a variety of different sports including Football. Tennis. Basketball and or youth shelters are all considerations that should be allowed for in an overall play area design to ensure there is a robust user demographic allowance. See Fields In Trust for more information.

Post-Installation:

Post-Installation Phase After the play area is installed and before public access is granted, an inspection helps ensure that the playground meets modern standards and has been correctly installed.

Note that underground work and some other aspects requiring dismantling or destructive testing are not assessed.

Thereafter it is recommended that the paly area is inspected twice a day for the first week to ensure that all fixings and fittings are working as design and as to the manufactures specifications.
