Northern State University selected Act Global and Kansas Turf as the artificial grass manufacturer and installer for the campus’ new Athletic and Recreation Fields.

Austin, TX- 220,000 square feet of Act Global’s Xtreme Turf was installed at Northern State University in South Dakota to construct an unrivaled facility within the upper Midwest. The multi-field project was designed to enhance the student-athlete experience for both the football and soccer teams.

The new turf fields are part of NSU’s campus master plan to continue to evolve into a modern institution that fulfills the needs of its students. Act Global’s turf was selected for the project due to the brand’s reputation for safety and presence within several NFL stadiums. Northern State was attracted to the proven benefits of Act Global’s turf technology to minimize fatigue-related injuries for its athletes. The execution of installing the new football, soccer, and auxiliary field was completed by Act Global’s partner and industry expert, Kansas Turf.

“It was a great experience working on this project with the Act Global team to create multiple playing surfaces that will allow for safe and high-quality training opportunities for the Northern State University athletic program.” – Jake Farrant, Kansas Turf Owner.

The new Athletic and Recreation Fields have garnered positive attention within the school and its athletic community from the coaches and athletes excited to utilize the facility.

Xtreme Turf Successfully Installed in Mizoram, India

by

Mizoram is a densely forested state within the northeastern region of India.  The state is highly undisturbed in nature with most of the land encompassing hills, rivers, valleys, and lakes. The state’s lush landscape is heavily influenced by monsoons causing chronic rainfall throughout summer months and little to no rainfall in winter months. While the natural vegetation is able to cope with this variance, grass used for outdoor sports fields cannot. Maintaining a natural grass, high-level football field can be next to impossible for many cities in Mizoram.

Situated in a remote location, eight hours drive from the Mizoram state capital of Aizawl, a mountainous, football-crazy part of the country with a desire to deliver top quality football turf surfaces. Xtreme Turf D60-360 SBR was selected for its proven durability and player comfort. The high face weight was selected to cope with the high traffic and all-day, all-weather utilization of the field by the local and regional communities. We could not achieve this result without our partners, Décor India, who have had a team stationed at the site for many months in order to assure the location is remote but the result is of international standards. The Xtreme Turf pitch is a truly level playing field.

Turf Term: Grooming

by

One of the biggest reasons communities and municipalities are turning to synthetic turf for their sports fields is the reduction in time and cost associated with maintenance. Artificial grass fields can easily pay for themselves within a few years and extend the hours or play without necessary rest times to prevent extensive damage. While synthetic turf does stay green, upright, and even in texture year-round, certain techniques performed intermittently can help extend the life of the field for years past the industry standard estimated life.

Grooming techniques can be completed by a standard grounds crew or by the Act Global team with the help of the SMG Sportchamp. Earlier this month Act Global’s Director of Quality and Safety visited Mount Dora Christian Academy in Mount Dora, Florida to groom the field before the start of the 2018 season. The process involves lightly brushing the tips of every turf fiber to keep it straight and unmatted. After the visit, Mount Dora’s field looked pristine, like it had just been installed.

Victor Valley High School Sports New Look with Xtreme Turf

by

Ray Moore Stadium received surface upgrades to world-class artificial grass from Act Global, installed by The KYA Group.

Austin, TX- This month KYA crews completed work to renovate the Victorville, California stadium by replacing the original natural grass field with high-quality synthetic turf.

Southern California’s Victor Valley Union High School District began searching earlier this year for an alternative to natural grass. The previous field had recurring issues of increasing water and maintenance costs and was seen as unsafe from holes created by burrowing animals and erosion. With uneven portions of the field, athletes were faced with a higher risk of injury.

Act Global’s Xtreme Turf is trusted across the world as the best artificial grass technology possible. Backed by years of research and extensive testing, Xtreme Turf is a proven surface to make athlete safety the number one priority.

“Not only is the field extremely functional in its ability to safely accommodate multiple different sports teams, it’s also beautiful,” comments KYA Regional Manager Andrea Ivey. “The large Jackrabbit centerfield logo is a serious visual enhancement to the stadium.”

The excellent relationship between Act Global and The KYA Group has helped bring professional-quality sports surfaces to schools across California.

Director of Act Global Chuck Fleishman notes, “We are proud to have a partner so tirelessly dedicated to quality. KYA shares our belief that better sports fields are created by first serving the needs of players, and we are honored to continue to work with their team.”
