Boon Lay, Singapore—Act Global and partner ATS Singapore supply and install field hockey artificial grass for the Singapore Sports Council‘s new facility.
The Boon Lay hockey field is FIH certified, meaning the turf meets the FIH Quality Programme standards such as safety, performance, quality, and durability.
The synthetic turf yarn is a non-directional, high d-tex, texturized monofilament allowing for a consistent and fast-pace ball roll. Underneath the surface lies a ProGame shock pad for energy restitution and comfort. Additionally, the surface is sand-dressed for dimensional stability and foot traction.
The Hockey 5s artificial turf system is designed to be a cost-effective alternative to a natural grass field while remaining a consistently high performing surface throughout its warrantied life.
“Hockey 5s is a concept we strongly support, allowing Hockey to be accessible to players in urbanized areas without space for a full-sized field, “said Daniel Clapham, Act Global Regional Manager.
Field hockey is a growing sport in Singapore for a few reasons: The sport has complete equality between all genders, does not require large open playing surfaces, grants all levels of sport to participate and allows different sports to perform on hockey fields due to their multi-functionality. Overall, it is an ideal sport for maximizing space in urban environments such as Singapore.
This facility will be utilized substantially, and Act Global is honored to work with ATS on a project such as this. Their focus on quality installation and maintenance is unmatched, and receiving the FIH field certificate marks another step forward in our longstanding partnership shared with ATS.
