This week’s Field Feature Friday showcases this beautiful installation at PAREF Southridge School in Metro Manila. Installed by our Philippines partner, Specicon Inc., full maintenance training was provided and provisions were made for the school to help maintain their new field to the highest standard for years to come. Children who attend the school will now have the opportunity to enjoy a new sports turf field!
The turf used was Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX50. Due to a carefully engineered subsoil drainage system facility made from a traditional dynamic stone base, the facility is able to withstand heavy monsoon rains. This especially important given the location and climate of the Phillippines. The SBR performance infill for the field was supplied by Genan AS from Denmark.
The Act Global team is proud of the work done for this installation!

It’s time for another partner spotlight! JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing recently converted the Rathcoole Boys Football Club’s existing natural grass playing pitch into a full size synthetic turf soccer pitch with Act Global’s synthetic grass turf on a shock pad system and ancillary works!
The purpose of the Rathcoole Boys Football Club is to supply soccer for the boys and girls of Rathcoole, Saggart and the surrounding areas. Act Global is proud to have teamed up JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing to provide the club a new synthetic turf field for the kids to be able to enjoy and play more soccer.
It doesn’t have to be said to know that it’s important for the club to have a working turf field that can last throughout the year at any point of the day through any weather. With day and night practices, it is extremely important for the turf to be weatherproof and safe for children of all ages.
Act Global and partner Premier Pitches & Fencing are proud of the work done at the Rathcoole Boys Football Club! We look forward to the future and provide only the best in every project!

It’s not anything new that children love to play. There’s something about getting to run around outside or playing a sport with friends that builds character. While it may be true as children get older their energy begins to slow, it’s safe to say their passion for competing will never go away.
Act Global thrives on providing new ways for children to go outside and be active. Studies show that children who play more outdoors are physically healthier, have better motor skills due to repetitive practice, and have stronger bones and muscles. Our synthetic turf fields help kids play for more hours of the day during any kind of weather or climate at any point of the year.

After 12 years, Act Global is proud to have partnered with ATS Pte. Ltd for the Saint Andrews Secondary School project located in Singapore for their second installation. Daniel Clapham was the sales representative and head of the project.
The school’s first field was built in 2007 with the Pro N64 system. After experiencing its high quality for over 12 years, the decision to reselect Act Global and ATS for a second installation was clear for the Saint Andrews Secondary School.
The turf chosen for the field was the WR compliant 3G system Xtreme Turf D60-360 C7010XC, utilizing a long pile diamond monofilament with a shock pad, a combination that is perfect for the school’s sporting needs. This carefully engineered system works well with Singapore’s year-round hot and humid weather due to the turf’s strong resistance to climate tea and the customized Plana pipe drainage system designed and installed by ATS Singapore The turf is developed with the use of maximum UV inhibitors so that it can with-stand heavy use and intense climatic conditions over long periods of time. This allows the fibers to last longer and perform better. The field is Act Global’s first WR certified field in Asia-Pacific.

Act Global is honored to have been awarded “Sports Installation of the Year Award (Single Field over 75,000 sq. ft.)” by the Synthetic Turf Council at their 2019 Spring Membership Meeting and Awards Ceremony. The selected winning field is the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, home to the New Orleans Saints for the last 43 years.
On top of its regular season with the Saints, the Mercedes-Benz Superdome hosts seven Super Bowls and the annual college Allstate Sugar Bowl and the R & L Carriers New Orleans Bowl. Due to the rigor and performance demands of top pro and college players, the Superdome requires a turf surface that can surpass these high expectations.
Although the state-of-the-art synthetic turf system from Act Global is engineered to withstand years of heavy use, the turf at the Superdome has to be replaced every year to keep up with the fast paced environment. Because the turf is still of high quality, high schools in need across America have the opportunity to enjoy an upgraded turf surface. “On behalf of the Jefferson West School District, I want to thank Act Global, the Superdome, and KTX Sports Construction for putting together this opportunity to provide a top-quality turf field for our students and community.” Pat Happer, the Superintendent of the 2017 field recipient-district, Jefferson West School District.
We’ve been thrilled to provide top quality turf and exceptional workmanship to the Superdome for the 2017 & 2018 seasons and to high schools across the nation. Act Global will continue to implement great systems this year and for years to come.
