Field Feature Friday: PAREF Southridge School

Field Feature Friday: PAREF Southridge School

This week’s Field Feature Friday showcases this beautiful installation at PAREF Southridge School in Metro Manila. Installed by our Philippines partner, Specicon Inc., full maintenance training was provided and provisions were made for the school to help maintain their new field to the highest standard for years to come. Children who attend the school will now have the opportunity to enjoy a new sports turf field!

The turf used was Act Global’s Xtreme Turf SX50. Due to a carefully engineered subsoil drainage system facility made from a traditional dynamic stone base, the facility is able to withstand heavy monsoon rains. This especially important given the location and climate of the Phillippines. The SBR performance infill for the field was supplied by Genan AS from Denmark.

The Act Global team is proud of the work done for this installation!

Partner Spotlight: JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing and the Rathcoole Boys Football Club

Partner Spotlight: JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing and the Rathcoole Boys Football Club

It’s time for another partner spotlight! JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing recently converted the Rathcoole Boys Football Club’s existing natural grass playing pitch into a full size synthetic turf soccer pitch with Act Global’s synthetic grass turf on a shock pad system and ancillary works!

The purpose of the Rathcoole Boys Football Club is to supply soccer for the boys and girls of Rathcoole, Saggart and the surrounding areas. Act Global is proud to have teamed up JNC Premier Pitches & Fencing to provide the club a new synthetic turf field for the kids to be able to enjoy and play more soccer.

It doesn’t have to be said to know that it’s important for the club to have a working turf field that can last throughout the year at any point of the day through any weather. With day and night practices, it is extremely important for the turf to be weatherproof and safe for children of all ages.

Act Global and partner Premier Pitches & Fencing are proud of the work done at the Rathcoole Boys Football Club! We look forward to the future and provide only the best in every project!

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

Play More: A Pillar, Not A Slogan

It’s not anything new that children love to play. There’s something about getting to run around outside or playing a sport with friends that builds character. While it may be true as children get older their energy begins to slow, it’s safe to say their passion for competing will never go away.

Act Global thrives on providing new ways for children to go outside and be active. Studies show that children who play more outdoors are physically healthier, have better motor skills due to repetitive practice, and have stronger bones and muscles. Our synthetic turf fields help kids play for more hours of the day during any kind of weather or climate at any point of the year.

Homeless World Cup 2016 is taking place in Glasgow’s George Square from July 10th to July 16th. For more information, visit www.homelessworldcup.com

Don’t Be Fooled!

Don’t Be Fooled!

It’s our favorite day of the year at Act Global – we just love a good April Fool’s joke! All Fools’ Day simply wouldn’t be the same without the pranks and laughter filling our office from head to toe.

However, this marketing intern is here to say don’t be fooled by other turf companies’ low priced turf products! Act Global only produces turf of the highest quality. Best of all, every product we create is U.S. made. No April Fool’s joke about that!

But seriously, you don’t want buyer’s remorse and we get that. For most, that means sticking to a low price point and hoping for the product to last. But it’s also a given that the average buyer doesn’t want to make an investment in something only for it to last five years as opposed to a product lasting for 15+ years with a warranty to back it up.

Your landscape turf should only be of the best and highest quality. You can trust that every product we create is made from American turf. As part of our pillars, we innovate more by creating turf that won’t have chemicals or output pollution into the environment, and it is UV stabilized so you can 100% trust its life expectancy.

Price point shouldn’t be the make it or break it deal when making the decision to buy the right turf or not. For a variety of industries, it is safe to say that the lowest price does not equate to the best a market has to offer! Be more by choosing Act Global’s Turfscape for all of your landscape turf needs!

Happy April Fool’s day and be sure to keep up to date on all of our turf projects and more by following us on Facebook,Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Protect More: A Pillar, Not a Slogan

Fun fact, or not so fun fact? It takes 1,000 years for just one plastic bag to completely degrade. Even more so, there are as many as 1 trillion plastic bags used annually across the world. So, what does Act Global do about that?

There are over 7.5 billion people on our planet. Act Global recognizes the importance of protecting the environment and the wildlife that live among us. That means ensuring all of our products are engineered with only the best available materials.

Act Global has created the LiteEarth product line to assist in protecting the environment. LiteEarth is a cost-effective, durable, high-performing and environmentally-friendly closure system for municipal solid waste, construction and demolition, hazardous waste, CCR and industrial landfills. It offers efficient installation, and long-term protection against infiltration, soil erosion and wind uplift. It is an engineered, patented synthetic grass liner system used for the long-term closure of landfills and coal ash sites. Better yet, the system can last anywhere between 36 and 50 years.

Our Turfscape product line protects the environment with every purchase by donating a portion to Water.org to aid the water crisis and participate in the United Nations Global Compact. Act Global is also the official turf supplier of Homeless World Cup and a supporter of World Vision and CARE.
