Ocean City, NJ—54,000 square feet of Act Global’saviation artificial grass, AvTurf,is installed along the entire length of the runway’s west/northwest side and in safety areas at both ends.
Ocean City Municipal Airport is located on a barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and Great Egg Harbor Bay. Located so close to water, the airport is prone to erosion, high tides, and safety hazards from birds.
With the newly installedAvTurf, the surface will be resistant to erosion, force burrowing species to relocate, eliminate bird strikes, and provide a variety of other benefits.
Along with its safety benefits, AvTurf will save the airport both time and money by removing the need for watering, fertilizing, or mowing.
AvTurfis fully tested for safety, performance, and longevity. With installations worldwide,AvTurf is the optimalsafety solution for airport ground cover with installations worldwide.

Picture this: it’s the year 2050. The world population has grown to 9.8 billion people and close to 70% live in urban areas. Clean air travel has become the go to option for traveling and society is experiencing technology unlike before. Education has increased leaps and bounds, and world countries experience less poverty on a universal scale.
It sounds beautiful, right? Innovation is the key to the future. The world never stops, and we continue to adapt every day. Presently, as well as within the next 30 years, countries across the globe are experiencing a steady rise in urbanization and an increase in airport travel. Humanity truly wasn’t made to sit still!
However, this means waste production will continue to overflow landfills at an exponential rate. In addition to maximizing available land space for business, leisure, sports and communities, it is a necessity for the environment to be protected along with its resources. We must continue to be creative in the conservation of clean drinking water and how we care for the Earth. As part of our “Innovate More” pillar, Act Global develops solutions for these important issues through synthetic turf. As a result, we know we can help further mankind and our planet’s habitability.
We do this by offering a huge product range that covers sports (Xtreme Turf, Xtreme Grass), landscape (Turfscape), aviation (AvTurf), and landfills (LiteEarth). Each product is manufactured with specific components in mind, such as the safety of the environment, athlete safety, airport operation safety, and of course, the need for better surface solutions. As technology grows and society acclimates, so do we. We adapt because it is vital for every project and product we assemble to be of the utmost quality.
Our values drive our business. It is through creativity and innovation that further the vision we see for a better world. Innovating more is more than just a commitment, it is a lifestyle Act Global embraces and encourages.
