STRI provides agronomy services for the management and maintenance of natural and hybrid surfaces. Our team of qualified and experienced agronomists offer a range of technical consulting services across a variety of sports, ranging from full condition assessments of playing surfaces to disease management and strategic and tactical recruitment support. We have a strong and esteemed reputation in golf agronomy, but also provide services in a range of sports including equestrian events, tennis, football, rugby and bowls.
Our aim is to ensure that every client gets the most out of their sports surface, and we support everything from grass roots to world-class, competitive surfaces. Our holistic services also ensure that clients feel confident in presenting strategic and tactical improvement plans to enhance and futureproof facilities. We offer tailored solutions and subscription packages to ensure that the level of support is right for each client’s needs and budget.
Our technical consulting services
Agronomic reviews and evaluations
We offer agronomic reviews with technical advice to support sustainable management programmes.
Our enhanced golf programme includes performance data and soil analysis, recording conditions to monitor progress over the longer term.
In the equestrian field, we provide racecourse strategic reviews which include soil analysis, track performance assessment and drainage and irrigation reviews.
Operation and budget reviews
STRI can also support clubs’ operational processes, identifying areas for enhancement and facilitating financial improvements.
Course drainage and irrigation
Effective water management is essential for optimising the usage of a facility, particularly in winter, and also has a huge part to play in increasing sustainability.
We can advise on solutions for a playing surface and its surrounding infrastructure.
Parks, cemeteries and amenities
STRI also supports local authority, heritage sites, historic attractions and cemeteries, all places which need to withstand heavy footfall all year round.
Drone services
We have trained CAA licensed drone pilots, who can undertake drone surveys and interpret captured data.
Drone services include topographical mapping, NDVI (normalised difference vegetation index), habitat and plant surveys, coastal erosion mapping and construction monitoring.
Drone footage is also invaluable for visualising the end result of a project, often crucial in gaining stakeholder buy-in. 3D maps and models can be modified to show the result of modifications or development projects.
