Ryebridge helps build new Rocket Padel facility at Battersea Power Station

Rocket Padel is at the forefront of ensuring the sport of padel is enjoyable and accessible for everyone – and Ryebridge Construction has done its bit to achieve this goal.

The company has helped create the new Rocket Padel facility at Battersea Power Station, which showcases a unique four-court club in a bespoke 11-meter-high glass building overlooking the River Thames.

Ryebridge was responsible for all the groundworks on the site, which was the former contractors’ compound for the redevelopment of the iconic power station, used for site cabins, materials and parking.

The eight-week project saw Ryebridge oversee the foundations, the drainage, the base and all the civils, ready for the glass and steel structure to be placed on top, and the job was completed on time without any problems.

Managing director Sean Scully said: “The sport of padel is a rapidly growing phenomenon, and Rocket Padel is arguably the UK’s leading indoor padel operator, so this was a really exciting project for our team to get involved in.

“The finished building, sitting adjacent to the striking Battersea Power Station, will house the company’s flagship courts, and ensuring it had the necessary groundworks was essential in making this vision a reality.”
