Case Study: Pioneering Jumping Wall Safety Installation at Christ’s Hospital School 

Customer: Smiths Sports Civils Ltd 
Location: Christ’s Hospital School, Horsham 

Project Background 

Smiths Sports Civils Ltd approached us to support a highly specialised project at Christ’s Hospital School the installation of a jumping wall feature designed to enhance the school’s sports and physical activity offering. 

Given the dynamic nature of the activity, ensuring maximum user safety was critical. The project called for a bespoke safety solution that could withstand repeated impact while maintaining performance, durability, and aesthetic integration with the surrounding environment. 

The Challenge 

This was not a standard installation. The customer required a jumping wall safety crash mat system that could: 

• Absorb high levels of impact from repeated use  

• Fit precisely within a unique and non-standard space  

• Maintain structural integrity over time in a demanding school environment  

• Comply with safety expectations for sports and recreational facilities  

Adding to the complexity, this was the first installation of its kind in the UK, meaning there was no off-the-shelf solution available. 

The Solution 

Working closely with Smiths Sports Civils Ltd, a bespoke jumping crash mat solution was developed, supplied, and installed to meet the exact requirements of the project. 

Key features of the solution included: 

• High-performance impact absorption to protect users during activity  

• Custom sizing and design to ensure a precise fit around the jumping wall  

• Durable materials suitable for long-term, high-frequency use  

• Professional installation, ensuring safety and reliability from day one  

The collaborative approach ensured that every detail was considered, from design through to final installation. 

The Outcome 

The completed installation successfully delivered a safe, robust, and innovative solution that enhances the usability of the jumping wall while prioritising user protection. 

Benefits for the customer included: 

• A fully compliant and safe environment for students  

• A unique and engaging sports feature for the school  

• Confidence in a durable, long-lasting solution  

• Successful delivery of a groundbreaking UK-first project  

Project Highlights 

• First jumping wall safety mat installation of its kind in the UK  

• Bespoke solution designed for a non-standard application  

• Delivered for a new customer relationship  

• High-impact, high-performance safety solution
