Tenby golf club is an 18-hole course on the southwest coast of Wales. Due to its location, the course is frequently subjected to storm damage and coastal weather, and the club realised they needed to take rapid action before losing parts of the course to the elements.

Aspire Sports Turf, a joint venture between STRI and Aspire Zone Foundation was launched in 2015 to bolster the sports turf expertise in Qatar. In the months following the launch, AST were awarded the design, construction supervision and maintenance supervision of all pitches for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

The aim of this initiative was to develop a modular pitch solution which included large moveable trays, an automated movement system and a bespoke turf storage facility. This was to allow teams to hold events with ease and facilitate a multievent operation model, thereby maximising revenue potential from stadium facilities.

STRI was honoured to be selected by The Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia – on behalf of his Excellency Prince Bandar bin Khalid Al Faisal – as principal contractors for the engineering and construction of Saudi Arabia’s first ever turf racetrack.
