SIS Pitches announces major project

February 7, 2025/in News, Press Release/by Admin

SIS Pitches announces major project: SIS Pitches, the team behind the World Record-breaking Kingdom Arena pitch, has announced it is set to deliver a major project in Saudi Arabia.

SIS Pitches, which produces premium hybrid, synthetic and natural pitches for an array of sports, has announced its partnership with Aramco Stadium in Al-Khobar, Saudi Arabia. The project reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality sports facilities in the region.

As part of the project, the SIS Pitches team will design and build a hybrid grass football stadium pitch, complete with an SIS Air classic vacuum and ventilation system, and two natural grass training pitches. Works will also include associated irrigation and drainage and pitch accessories. With design development completed to be completed by January 31^st, the stadium and training pitches should be finalized in 2026.

The project will benefit from the proximity of SIS Pitches’ local turf farm in Saudi Arabia, guaranteeing a quick supply of high-quality, locally grown grass. Grass from Saudi farms will be installed specifically for the Aramco Stadium works and is due to be operational from April 2025.

David Ball, Managing Director at SIS Middle East, said: “A year on from the Kingdom Arena, our flagship project for the region, we’re thrilled to be able to announce another major project.

“Demand for high-quality sports surfaces in the region has skyrocketed in recent years. This project will be the perfect opportunity for us to help support Middle Eastern sports and showcase our wide offering – from pitch design and construction to irrigation and ventilation – across a range of disciplines, including football and cricket.

“We’re looking forward to unveiling our design for the Aramco Stadium very soon.”

SIS Pitches made its first foray into the Middle East in Dubai, UAE, in 2011. After recognizing a growing appetite for high-level professional sports – and the resulting increased need for cutting-edge surfaces – the brand established a dedicated SIS Pitches office in Saudi Arabia in July 2023.

Within weeks of establishing the Saudi Arabia office, the team at SIS Pitches undertook one of the world’s most ambitious sporting infrastructure projects to complete the Kingdom Arena – the world’s first fully indoor hybrid pitch, famously built in just 21 days – in partnership with Sela.

TMS invest in six Iseki mowers

TMS invest in six Iseki mowers: Iseki mowers’ exceptional cut-and-collect features has made them the go to choice for Team Maintenance Services Ltd over the last 15 years, with the company getting their fleet replaced for the third time, as they continue enhancing their green waste recycling.

The Cornwall-based company covers the whole of Cornwall http://tmscornwall.co.uk/ and provides comprehensive grounds maintenance to retail parks, local authorities, industrial estates and schools, making the high-quality cut and reliable collection of the Iseki SXG327 crucial.

The latest six new mowers were again supplied by Devon Garden Machinery, a local Machinery dealer with forty years’ experience and a long-standing relationship with TMS, providing a consistent on-going supply of Iseki mowers with an excellent back-up and replacement parts service.

In use across various sites, John Julyan, Managing Director of TMS, clarifies the role the Iseki machines play in their environmental efforts.

“As a company, we want to reduce our carbon footprint, and the perfect way for us to do that is by recycling our green waste,” John explains.

“At many of our sites, removing grass clippings is important both aesthetically and practically. Schools don’t want students walking grass into buildings, and businesses don’t want their staff doing it either, so for us, being able to provide that service using the SXG327s is really important.

“The mowers leave the grass with a really clean finish and very little debris, and that consistent performance has kept us using Iseki machines over the last 15 years.”

Renowned for its exceptional cut-and-collect abilities, the SXG327 has several attributes that allow the machine to cut and collect with no blockages and leave a superior finish every time.

The rear axle is mounted high under the seat out of the way with chain drive to each of the rear wheels, this allows the grass to flow straight through from the deck to the collector with no obstructions to avoid unwanted blockages. For maximum airflow from the decks to the collector, the air vents on top of the mower deck can be opened or closed to allow as much grass and debris as possible to be picked up and passed through to the collector. This is especially useful when collecting heavier, wetter grass. In the summer, these can be closed to avoid excess dust and debris being kicked up when cutting dry areas.

One SRA550F joins the five new SXG327s in the TMS fleet, which is a perfectly balanced brushcutter capable of cutting anything it can drive over. With that combination, the company’s 20 staff are able to tackle a majority of the landscapes they face.

TMS pride themselves on their professionalism and reliability, and those values have seen the family run company grow since it began in 1998. For the past 15 years, Iseki machinery has been a part of that journey, John believes the reliability of the mowers has played a part in their own development.

“With this selection of machines, we know we can deliver every day,” he said. “Besides the performance of the machines, the other factor is the excellent quality of build. We rarely have to change the parts of the Iseki’s, and when we do, Devon Garden Machinery are always very responsive and send the parts directly to us.”
