Al-Islah Fields in Kuwait Choose Xtreme Turf Blended Product to Maximize Investment and Increase Revenue

by

Turf system carefully engineered for increased infill encapsulation, reduced temperature, more natural, greener looking field plus added durability.

The Al Islah community in Kuwait celebrated the opening of three community football fields. These elite level playing surfaces manufactured by Act Global in the Netherlands will expand the neighborhood’s opportunity to participate in both recreational and competitive play.

To maximize the durability and longevity of the fields, the client selected a same-stitch monofilament and SPC blended synthetic turf designed by Act Global and installed by Parla Sports in Kuwait. Offering excellent infill encapsulation, this Xtreme Turf system reduces the performance infill’s (SBR) exposure to direct sunlight thus creating a cooler playing surface for players and preserving a greener and more aesthetically pleasing surface. Designed for high-intensity use, the increased playing hours and longevity of the surfaces will increase revenue opportunities for the field owners, the high-performance characteristics of the field offer the players a top quality grass experience.

“We are delighted that the client made the choice to upgrade to this heavyweight turf system,” comments regional manager Daniel Clapham. “The combination of extra durability, superior infill encapsulation, reduced temperature, and a greener playing surface is perfectly suited to such heavy traffic, heavy use fields. There is also a need for such fields to be aesthetically appealing and enhance the local community. Parla Sport deserves a special mention for this project.”

The ability to use such pitches more intensively for more hours and for more years of play than most other fields in the region yields a healthy return both financially and in terms of enhancing the local community. The extra durability of Act Global’s SXF, DXF, BDX and DF blended systems offer considerable savings for clients when viewed over the entire warranty period and beyond.

In partnership with Act Global, Parla Sport offers comprehensive after sales and maintenance services to add an extra layer of comfort to valued Kuwaiti clientele.

Mercedes-Benz Superdome Again Selects Act Global Synthetic Turf

by

The premier New Orleans stadium to receive the leading artificial grass technology from the American-based manufacturer for the 2018 season.

Following a strong 2017 season, the SMG-managed Mer­cedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans has chosen Act Global for the second-consecutive year as the manufac­turer and installer for turf. The new field will be installed in late July before the New Orleans Saints’ first game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Due to its iconic nature and high demand, the Superdome is one of the most heavily used sport, concert and event venues in the nation. For this reason, it is also one of the only stadiums to install a new artificial grass system each year, as it requires non-grass floor space between football seasons. Act Global supplies superiorly-engineered turf systems created to advance player safety and performance. After exceptional feedback both internally and externally regarding the quality and appearance of the field, Act Global was announced as the preferred artificial grass provider this year as well.

“Act Global is honored to be selected again as the playing surface for a number of important NFL and NCAA games. We are thrilled to work with such a wonderful team at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome and SMG. They have a passion for creating the best game experience possible for the players and fans, and we appreciate the great feedback concerning our turf quality and performance. We are committed to continue providing the best support and turf experience possible,” comments Act Global CEO, John Baize.

Last year’s synthetic turf field was relocated to a public high school in Meriden, Kansas as part of a donation project through KTX Sports Construction’s Project 340.
