7 Steps to the Perfect Artificial Pitch

SIS provide a complete one stop shop in designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining artificial sports surfaces. SIS has designed and constructed pitches throughout Europe, the UK and Ireland and is at the forefront of the next generation of artificial surfaces. A complete range of synthetic surfaces is available from rugby, football, hockey, tennis and multi use games area installations including FIH approved products. SIS can supply both fibrillated and monofilament fibres.

SIS is unique is so far as it provides a complete package which covers not just the supply of the carpet but the complete design and build of your project. This is critical for the success of any installation as the carpet is only the 'tip of the iceberg'. If the earthworks, sub base and drainage are not installed correctly then the pitch will not deliver and achieve the playability characteristics required by the players and the client.

SIS have their own 'in-house' experienced teams working on site using the latest plant and equipment that is specifically designed for the full construction of the pitch. SIS also have a specific 'Sandmatic' machine to consistently infill a sand/rubber surface accurately.

	Based on an approved project plan and budget the SIS team will carry out a detailed plan showing clear timelines and key completion dates. The team will work with the client to ensure all regulations and approvals are in place.
	All work on site will be carried out under the supervision of a SIS qualified project manager. The SIS installation team has the expertise to ensure the project is on time and meets the project objectives.
	During the construction period, we actively encourage the client to visit the site and discuss the project progress with our experienced contract manager who is permanently allocated to the site.
	On completion of the artificial pitch SIS will review all aspects of the project to ensure that your requiremets and objectives were delivered.
	As part of the original project program, SIS provide a bespoke maintenance program which covers site visits, advice and specialist machinery to ensure the new pitch stays in pristine condition during its life span.
Our synthetic sports turf is also used for rugby pitches and gaelic sports surfaces. See some examples of the artificial rugby pitch and artificial football pitch installations by SIS.
