Pauline Johnson Collegiate is a composite high school in Brantford, Ontario with departments specializing in both vocational and collegiate educational strategies. The school’s athletic department offers a variety of teams for competitive play under the Thunderbird mascot.
Kiwanis Field was a dream for the community that was six years in the making at its opening in 2016. The publicly-funded facility features many new amenities to the Brantford community, including a world-class synthetic turf field manufactured by Act Global. Kiwanis Field at Pauline Johnson Collegiate is FIFA 2 star certified, meaning that the pitch provides maximum performance in shock absorption, deformation, ball roll and rebound, and rotational resistance. This means that the student-athletes at Pauline Johnson have access to a field that is certified for world-class safety to minimize the risk of injuries.
The new facility was imagined to provide more access to health and sports opportunities for the community and to meet the requirements for Special Olympics practice and competition. The professional-quality soccer and football synthetic turf system is also used to attract more demanding competition from local Hamilton Tiger-Cats Minor Sports Program.
This installation was possible through the expert work of our partner, Carpell Surfaces. Carpell Surfaces is a leading supplier and installer of synthetic sports surfaces across Canada. The company has an excellent reputation for top-quality installations in sports facilities at major universities, colleges, and schools, as well as high-profile sporting events such as the 2015 Toronto PanAm/ParapanAm games and the 2015 Women’s World Cup at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is one of the most trafficked airports in the United States with a yearly passenger count exceeding 21 million. The highly-utilized facility features multiple infield islands, so in 2015 HNL updated 63,000 square feet of these areas to AvTurf’s artificial grass system to expand the usage capabilities of its infrastructure.
The use of AvTurf for infield islands helps to create a sterile and static environment by reducing standing water and eliminating airfield contaminants through the filtrating sand infill system. The consistently low pile height allows for easy recognition and cleanup of potential foreign object debris (F.O.D.) and removes shelter for prey based species. The non-fading synthetic turf fibers offer supreme visibility for pilots to quickly distinguish between paved and non-paved areas.
AvTurf combats common threats in airport safety with a durable, attractive, and cost-effective synthetic turf solution that requires minimal year-round maintenance. The performance of AvTurf’s artificial grass has been proven through hundreds of quality assurance tests, each that reiterate the fact that AvTurf achieves the highest performance standards of airport ground safety in all critical areas.
Due to AvTurf’s reputation as a premier safety surface for aviation, and its ability to demonstrate such assertion, it has been successfully installed across the globe to eliminate specific hazards in some of the largest and busiest airports.

Chicago O’Hare International Airport is the second busiest airport in North America with almost 77 million annual passengers, a number expected to grow at a rate of 10% in the coming years.
Service roads are used by airport emergency and service vehicles to minimize time spent on airways and taxiways. Within these roadways are no movement zones that are typically covered with natural grass. Maintenance of these grass areas including mowing, weeding and fertilizing require the shutdown of the entire area, thus requiring extensive planning to minimize disruption caused by the closure.
AvTurf is a synthetic turf system that provides comprehensive ground safety enhancements and erosion control. The use of AvTurf for no movement zones in airports eliminates the need for closures, saving both time and money while extending the usage capacity of the airport’s infrastructure. This is extremely important as air travel continues to grow in popularity for both business and leisure.
Due to AvTurf’s reputation as a premier safety surface for aviation, and its ability to demonstrate such assertion, it has been successfully installed across the globe to eliminate specific hazards in some of the largest and busiest airports.
