With nine world-class synthetic turf fields built in 2013, and ten already confirmed in 2014, the Act Global and Carpell Surfaces partnership is driving the demand for professional FIFA Quality playing surfaces in Canada.
Carpell Surfaces is focused on driving the standard for the highest quality synthetic turf systems in Canada. The company completed a total of nine full-size artificial turf fields in 2013, eight of which were FIFA tested and achieved passing results.
The artificial turf surfaces were a mix of soccer, rugby, lacrosse and multipurpose, expertly built to the highest quality standards to meet the guidelines set forth by FIFA and local sporting authorities. Carpell partners with leading synthetic turf manufacturer Act Global to offer the most advanced technology in artificial sports turf. As a FIFA Preferred Producer for Football Turf, Act Global’s synthetic turf products are designed to meet top natural grass benchmarks per FIFA’s quality guidelines.
While all synthetic turf provides longer playing hours, less maintenance and water savings, the differentiating factor is in the performance and safety features of FIFA quality turf. To achieve FIFA Certification, the manufactured product and finished installations are third-party tested for factors such as ball behavior, shock absorption, abrasion, traction, foot stability, UV weathering, tuft bind, durability and more.
“Carpell Surfaces has an excellent reputation for installing state-of-the-art, safe and high performing sporting surfaces,” said John Baize, managing director at Act Global. “We are proud to partner with the professionals at Carpell and look forward to our continued success for many years to come.”
The companies already have ten artificial turf fields confirmed for 2014, featuring a mix of soccer, football, lacrosse, rugby and multipurpose indoor synthetic turf.

FIFA, the world’s governing body of soccer, uses natural grass benchmarks in areas including foot stability, traction, and ball interaction to create its synthetic turf standards. These benchmarks are part of the FIFA Quality Concept, which have led to safer, better performing fields.
As buyers seek similar benchmarks for American football and baseball, Act Global and testing institute Labosport put the FIFA Quality Concept up against top natural grass fields at New York Yankees spring training facility and Texas A&M. Field tests were performed to measure shock absorption, vertical deformation (foot stability), rotational resistance (traction), energy restitution (fatigue indicator) and various ball-to-surface interactions.
The study confirmed that the parameters set by the FIFA Quality Concept fall within the test results at both facilities. Act Global is the first company to obtain scientific data comparing natural grass for soccer, American football and baseball fields with FIFA and Synthetic Turf Council guidelines.
As a FIFA Preferred Producer, Act Global’s products meet the FIFA QUALITY guidelines for safety, performance and durability. By using FIFA Quality synthetic turf, players receive a top playing surface proven to perform to the best natural grass benchmarks for multiple sports.
