HIC and gmax in Acoma, New Mexico

Surface Performance are global experts in the testing and accreditation of both natural and artificial sports fields.

HIC and GMAX testing have become fundamental tests for surfaces to undergo to ensure they comply with ASTM standard F1936 and are therefore safe for use.

If a surface is too hard it may exert excessive forces on players during impact, therefore increasing the risk of the players sustaining impact related injuries, including concussions.
