The Challenge
The Adelaide Oval, renowned for its picturesque setting and historical significance in cricket, faced the challenge of maintaining its world-class Santa Ana couch grass surface while addressing growing environmental concerns. The venue needed to implement sustainable practices to reduce water consumption without compromising the quality of its internationally recognised playing field.
Solution
Adelaide Oval Stadium Management Authority (AOSMA) will partner with Cisgenics to implement the CisgenX Irrigation Control System to meet this challenge. This next-generation solution features IoT-powered irrigation management, real-time soil moisture and turf health monitoring, and automated water source selection based on salinity levels.
Cisgenics works closely with the groundskeeping team to integrate the system with existing turf management practices. The system is set to improve operational efficiency, positioning Adelaide Oval as a sustainable sports venue management leader.
This collaboration between AOSMA and Cisgenics demonstrates how iconic sporting venues can successfully combine tradition with innovation to address contemporary environmental challenges, setting new benchmarks in sustainable sports turf management.
