After witnessing the large success and durability of Hayes Field since 2015, the district knew exactly who to turn to in the selection of synthetic turf for their Chambers Field. It was no question having seen it withstand flooding and snowstorms on top of its extensive daily usage each day over the course of four years.
Act Global partner, HERA SPORTS, installed a new Act Global Xtreme Turf BDX50 field for the school’s football, soccer and lacrosse teams. Like Hayes Field, the new Chambers Field will showcase GreenPlay’s custom infill blend of coconut fibers and cork and use the ProPlay-Sport23 product by Schmitz Foam. The ProPlay pad ensures that the playing surface is shock absorbent and safe to play on and the organic infill option helps support the movement of “going green”. This system will ensure adequate gradient drainage of water to help combat against harsh weather and flooding.
Now that the high school will have two synthetic fields at their disposal instead of one, the practice and game day schedule for their football, soccer and lacrosse teams will become easier and more flexible for years to come. The new field will be able to quickly fix past issues and help student-athletes continue to develop their skills and sportsmanship with the added playtime a synthetic turf field provides, approximately six times more than the average natural grass field.
“Act Global is honored to be chosen for the field replacement at their stadium, Chambers Field,” said Act Global General Manager for Sales and Operations, Jerry Harper. “The success of our BDX50 system at Hayes Field, Bronxville Union Free School Districts Multipurpose Field, provide the Broncos the most state-of-the-art facilities in the area.”
The school district, Act Global and HERA SPORTS are confident in the turf system for Chambers Field. The world-class turf company hopes to continue to touch the lives of the student body as much as it has with Hayes Field, serving the multitude of communities across the district.

The University of Sherbrooke has started renovation work of its track and field. Act Global partner, Carpell Surfaces, has been chosen to lead and install a new surface for the university’s upcoming races and major competitions, as well as provide removable synthetic grass goal areas, better known as removable end zones, for the football field located inside the track, with turf provided by Act Global! Currently, the Michel Leclerc group is completing the demolition work and the project should be completed before autumn! The future’s looking bright!
So, this begs the question: what are removable end zones and why are they so cool?
Removable end zones are easier to maintain because instead of having to paint new logos of competing teams onto existing end zone turf, new end zones can be manufactured and then swapped out. An example of a stadium doing this is the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It can often be too difficult to remove paint already used for logos and names and replace them with other teams. This makes the overall process easier.
Act Global and Carpell Surfaces are excited for these upcoming months! We look forward to bringing the university a one of a kind track and field with awesome removable end zones, second to none!

Regardless of the industry, most consumers only want the best product for their dollar. It can be hard to distinguish between which brands provide quality and those who don’t. To combat this, Act Global gets an annual certification of ISO 9001 to help make this easier for buyers.
So, what exactly is an ISO 9001 certification and how does it help consumers in the buying process?
According to the ASQ website, ISO 9001 is firstly defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). The standard demonstrates the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is the only standard in the series to which organizations can become certified in.
For organizations, achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification means the organization follows the guidelines of the ISO 9001 standard, fulfills its own requirements, meets customer requirements and statutory and regulatory requirements, and maintains documentation.
Act Global has manufacturing plants in three different countries and has delivered fields to over 90 countries across the world. For every product division, we stand by our quality and follow strict international standards and performance metrics set by governing agencies of sports, landscape, aviation, and land capping. An ISO 9001 certification allows buyers to trust our product lines and know that every product we put out is made with only the highest quality.
