The appointment of SIS by the European and World Club Champions is testament to the company's impeccable record in Spain over the last 12 months where they have already installed three pitches for La Liga clubs. SISĀ  has already installed the home-ground pitch, Bernabeu for Real Madrid as well as pitches at the Madrid Training Centre. The company has also installed pitches for two other La Liga clubs; Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao.
The Barcelona project commences this Thursday and entails re-surfacing one of the clubs training pitches with 8,500m2 of natural grass from the company's purpose-grown turf farm in Germany. The pitch will be completed in a record 48 hours thanks to the unique equipment invented and custom built by Support in Sport. The Sisavator - the one of a kind machine invented by SIS will be used to remove the pitch. The machine is the only type of machine in the world that allows a pitch to be removed at a depth of 10cm in 9 hours. The pitch will then be laser levelled again in time for the team to train on by Saturday ahead of the La Liga Real Betis match the next day. barcelona tc pitch 3.jpg
