Sports Facility Design & Development

STRI's design specialists have always looked at the cutting edge of new developments in construction technology for sports surfaces. In the early days STRI pioneered under pitch heating and the development of synthetic pitches. More recently STRI has led the way in producing shade solutions for modern stadia, installing the worlds first moveable turf crossing and trialling new approaches to turf development and management.
