Airports are filling their runways and taxiways with synthetic grass.
Erosion and birdstrikes are just a few of the hazards that impact airport runways and taxiways. Artificial turf prevents animals from nesting or burrowing near runways and keeps animals away from planes taking off and landing. Installing AvTurf, Act Global’s aviation turf, can assist in eliminating these hazards while providing a clean, green, and low maintenance surface area.
An artificial turf-natural grass hybrid is on the market.
A hybrid system lets real living grass grow up between the synthetic turf fibers formin a mixture of natural and synthetic blades–a woven backing makes this possible. Act Global offers Xtreme Grass hybrid which reinforces natural grass’ playability properties combined with the durability of synthetic turf. The synthetic turf fibers help stabilize and protect the natural grass to reduce playing damage and divots. The hybrid turf system is excellent for high traffic areas such as soccer goalie boxes.
Pets love synthetic grass too!
Pet’s won’t keep their owners from enjoying a luxurious artificial turf backyard. The soft yet durable fibers are paw-friendly, and distinct infills are manufactured to absorb urine and eliminate any odors–plus easy cleanup and no brown spots! Lastly, you won’t have to use pesticides on your lawn that are harmful to your furry friends.
Artificial turf is a sustainable way to cap landfills.
Current landfill capping systems typically run into issues of erosion and maintenance. With synthetic grass, the risk of erosion is reduced while obtaining a natural look. LiteEarth, produced by Act Global, and Solmax, have combined their expertise to produce the patented LiteEarth Capping System. The monofilament stand up system eliminates the need for infill and reduces the risk of erosion from wind or water.
