Installation Feature: Sir Sandford Fleming College

The urban campus of Sir Sandford Fleming College serves as an applied arts and technology institution that allows individuals to continue their education in a unique learning environment that puts students first. The distinguished school has a mission to create an environment that allows students to learn, thrive, and achieve while preparing them to attain the same success after graduating from Fleming. In addition to exceptional educational opportunities, Fleming College prides itself on offering superior athletic programs and facilities.

In 2013 Fleming College selected Act Global’s artificial grass as the new surfaces for the school’s varsity rugby and soccer teams. The two athletic fields stand side by side on the scenic Ontario-based campus, displaying the Knight’s logo bright and beautiful. Each of these fields has been accredited with either FIFA or World Rugby Certifications, demonstrating the high-caliber quality of the Xtreme Turf systems utilized for Fleming College. Both fields were designed to serve multiple teams, making it vital for both the combination soccer/lacrosse and soccer/rugby pitches to be highly durable and safe for the variance of athletes.

The synthetic turf fibers of the Xtreme Turf system are engineered and tested to perform with unmatched integrity.

This installation was possible through the impressive work of our international 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

Field Feature Friday: The Master’s Academy

Located in sunny Oviedo, Florida is the Pre-K-12th-grade private school, The Master’s Academy. The school has grown over the past 30 years to be highly successful by mentoring young students to strive for excellence. In addition to a robust academics department, the athletics program at TMA is seen as a tool to further its mission of fostering personal growth and leadership within its students.

In 1986 The Master’s Academy was started with just over 200 students and utilized rented spaces for the campus. However, the school was quickly adopted by the community and as the size of the student body began to grow,  TMA was able to secure its own land in 1999 and open its Oviedo campus the following year. Renovations and upgrades to the campus have continued throughout the years and have helped the school reach new landmark milestones of development. Notably, in 2014, The Master’s Academy remodeled its baseball field to feature Act Global artificial grass. Act Global’s synthetic baseball turf systems offer a reliable solution to remove bad hops while providing excellent drainage for completely consistent play. Synthetic turf was specifically selected by TMA so that the field could be used year round and so that it would be durable enough to withstand the high-intensity use of multiple teams throughout the day. The artificial grass surface also looks exceptional with TMA’s bright blue colors and bold school logo.

The Master’s Academy Eagles made it to playoffs this season in the 2018 3A FHSAA Baseball Championship. Good luck to the Eagles on their 2019 season!

AvTurf Feature: Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport

As the main international airport servicing Spain and the largest airport in Europe, Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas (MAD) handled over 53 million passengers and had over 387,000 aircraft movements throughout 2017. With the high volume of people and aircrafts traveling in and out of the airport each day, it is vital that MAD operates efficiently to prevent closures and delays of runways and taxiways. These can be caused by many factors, but typical methods of outdoor operations to control for erosion, FOD, wildlife mitigation, and visual enhancement are not cost effective and require consistent maintenance that can often result in shutdowns.

In 2009 Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport elected to transform its runway and taxiways with the addition of artificial grass from AvTurf. Tested and approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), AvTurf is a trusted surfacing solution with proven technology to withstand impact from jet blasts and enhance drainage of runoff water. The synthetic turf system also remains vivid throughout the year, regardless of the weather, to vastly improve visual recognition.

AvTurf has served Madrid–Barajas to advance the airport’s safety and operational effectiveness.

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 in some of the largest and busiest airports.
