SIS Grass Hybrid Continues Global Rise in Norway

The Lerkendal Stadium in Norway has become the first stadium in the country to have the revolutionary SIS Grass Hybrid pitch technology installed.

Home of Rosenborg, Norway’s most successful football team, the Lerkendal Stadium installation took just seven days to complete.

The reigning champions began the new season on 2nd April, with SIS Pitches beginning the SIS Grass Hybrid transformation on 24th March. The installation was completed despite a large amount of snow and temperatures of -6°C in the evenings.

SIS Pitches’ first project in Norway arrives on the back of a maiden installation in Sweden last month, where the Gamla Ullevi stadium in Gothenburg received a SIS Grass Hybrid makeover.

The rise of SIS Pitches and the SIS Grass Hybrid pitch technology in Scandinavia adds to a brand that is becoming increasingly more global following other projects in Spain, Turkey, Dubai and Israel.

SIS Pitches have also confirmed deals to complete work on six of the twelve stadiums to be used at the 2018 World Football Cup in Russia, including the Luzhniki Stadium – the venue of the final.

SIS Grass Hybrid is an advanced reinforced turf system featuring patented fibre injections, which offers increased pitch stability and delivers considerably more playing hours than natural grass surfaces.

Anders Øien, Groundsman at Rosenborg FC, has expressed his satisfaction at the SIS Grass Hybrid installation.

“We would like to thank SIS Pitches for their hard work in the installation of SIS Grass Hybrid at Lerkendal stadium.

“We are really satisfied with the cooperation and professionalism of SISPItches and already we have had a very positive response from the players.”

SIS Grass Director, Ivo Lamot, said; “Our first SIS Grass Hybrid pitch in Norway represents the way SIS Grass Hybrid is moving in the global market.

“The turnover was tight for this particular project but despite the poor weather conditions we completed the installation in just seven days.

“SIS Grass Hybrid provides Rosenborg with an outstanding natural pitch surface and it is fantastic for us to add another country to our list of hybrid pitch clients.”
