An E&I Featured Contractor - FieldTurf, a Tarkett Company
Collegiate Programs Use Portable Fields for Multi-use Occasions
For facilities where the field must be removable, EasyField helps owners break down and set up a field quickly and with ease. The system can easily allow an ice rink, gym, parking lot, or complex to convert to an indoor turf field.



An E&I Look at Portable Turf for Campus and Athletics Department Needs
FieldTurf engineered the easiest, fastest and most secure way of locking your portable field panels together. EasyLock is a simple male-female interlock system that fits turf panels together for a seamless feel. Installing a good sports field has never been this easy. EasyField by FieldTurf's do-it-yourself system is so simple, a small crew of people can install a full size field (17,000 sq ft) in less than a day. No special equipment is needed for installation. There is no heavy lifting. EasyField has been tested under rigorous conditions and has been designed to outlast any portable system under the harshest use. After thousands of cycles on the Lisport Wear Machine, and after years installed, the turf still looks and plays great. EasyField's panels have compressed foam padding for shock absorption which ensures little variation even after years of use.

Case Study: Tarkett Sports
Tarkett Sports built an indoor facility in Pitman, NJ with a 24,000 square feet of surface, that looks like hardwood, but is not. The facility has five basketball courts, that also converts to seven volleyball courts or 15 pickleball courts. It is surfaced with Tarkett's versatile Omnisports Active+ vinyl flooring system, a true multi-use surface. What makes it unique is the Class 3 shock absorption that is simple prepping for many functions. The facility can change from soccer to baseball to basketball to volleyball, to even indoor football on bad weather days. It just takes a minute or two to change from one sport to another. The surface is laid directly on concrete and can be installed quickly. Maintenance is simple too, just a dust mop between games to ensure cleanliness. There is a lot of safety success with this product, and there are less knee and other injuries.
