Project Details
Metelec Services is proud to announce the completion of the first padel court site in a major nationwide rollout, located in Colchester, Essex. This marks the official launch of a large-scale project that will see padel facilities introduced across the country, with design, installation, and ongoing maintenance delivered entirely by our in-house team.
Padel is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, gaining momentum in the UK thanks to its fun, fast-paced nature and accessibility for players of all levels. As the demand for new courts accelerates, we’re at the forefront of delivering the high-quality infrastructure needed to support its growth.
At Metelec Services, we’ve handled every element of this exciting project from the ground up:
- Lighting design tailored to Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) guidance, ensuring every court meets performance and safety standards.
- PIR sensor control on each court, meaning lights only activate when courts are in use—saving energy and cutting waste.
- Photocell control that responds to natural daylight, reducing unnecessary usage.
- Time-controlled operation, allowing facility owners to set fixed lighting schedules based on their opening hours.
This project is a perfect representation of our full-scope approach:
Designed. Installed. Maintained.
It’s not just about building great facilities – it’s about building them smartly, sustainably, and with the user experience in mind.
As the padel boom continues, Metelec Services is proud to be powering the future of sport and leisure, one court at a time.
