Resurfacing Grass Pitches
Installing turf in stadiums and other sporting venues is not
simple. You require a complete understanding of the
environment and the correct tools are required to ensure
that the turf survives and the results required are
delivered.
Because of these criteria SIS was chosen to replace pitches
at Glasgow’s Hampden Park for the Champion’s League final,
Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium for the FA Cup Final and the
Six Nations Rugby Tournament.
What is re-turfing and why should we re-turf?
Re-turfing is the removal of the existing surface and
replacing it with a purpose grown turf that is suitable for
the sport, whether it be football, rugby, cricket, tennis or
golf. The reasons for re-turfing is that the heavy use of
modern stadiums does not allow turf to survive and many
stadium owners see their playing surface as an asset that
has to be kept in first class condition as stadium costs are
rising and they need to utilise their facilities as much as
possible.
SIS also provide advice and practical support on under pitch
heating for playing surfaces in the winter, and irrigation
for the summer together with ensuring the there is proper
ground drainage.
SIS provides pitch maintenance programmes for professional
clubs and this has enabled them to gain first hand knowledge
of all aspects of ground maintenance.
