ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) APRIL 17, 2015
SPRINTURF is pleased to announce that Bruce Cheskin, the Executive Vice President of SPRINTURF, is now a Certified Field Builder – Synthetic Turf. Hosted by the American Sports Builders Association, the designation is among the most prestigious in the industry, and it establishes Cheskin as one of the best synthetic turf builders in the country.
“We are extremely proud of Bruce,” said John Bogosian, COO of SPRINTURF. “It is a tremendous achievement to be an ASBA certified builder, and one that does not come easily. We are excited to have one on our team.”
Only a handful of field builders are certified by the American Sports Builders Association. In order to become certified, the builder must have a minimum of three years’ experience in the sports field construction industry, and prove working experience in project planning, project administration, site, sub-grade and base work, field surface and marking and maintenance. In addition, they must provide three professional references and pass a comprehensive exam on field construction and maintenance. While it is not an easy to feat to earn this certification, it does determine which builders are the best in the industry, and which ones can be trusted with a project.
The American Sports Builders Association has three different levels of certification: certified tennis court builders, certified track builders and certified field builders. Certified Field Builders are then further categorized into natural turf and synthetic turf to help distinguish specialists in the industry. Bruce Cheskin is a Certified Field Builder – Synthetic; so when it comes to installing artificial turf athletic fields, he is a leading industry expert.
