AirDrain Agronomic Natural Grass Drainage at the Chesapeake Energy Roof Top Sports Field

Benefits of AirDrain in a green roofing system include:
AirDrain creates and helps maintain a constant Gmax for artificial turf (See below)
Thickness and resin consistency of AirDrain provides uniform shock absorbency
Shock absorption reduces the strain on joints and ligaments
AirDrain is only limited by the drainage capacity of the profile above it
Installation time measured in days instead of weeks
AirDrain can be reused when the artificial turf must be replaced
Water harvesting reclamation and reuse
Helps qualify for LEED and other green building credits
A smaller carbon and development footprint with reduced site disturbance
100% vertical drainage under the entire field surface
Minimizes water related injuries / Less infill migration due to superior drainage
AirDrain is a 100% recycled product
Less infill migration due to superior drainage

Turf - 2 1/2” Slit Film, in filled with 50% Green Rubber Infill and 50% Silica Sand.
The drainage/shock pad and turf underlying substrate consists of a concrete deck/rooftop, coated with a waterproof membrane and 10 ounce 100% recycled polyester geo-textile filter fabric.
The Standard Test Method for Shock-Absorbing Properties of Playing Surface Systems and Materials (ASTM F1936-98 American Football Field) testing locations and procedure were preformed. The tests were performed using a Triax 2000 A-1 Missile, tripod mounted Gmax registration unit(www.triax2000.com). This report presents background information on the test procedures, existing conditions, test results and observations in football, baseball, softball, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey artificial sports fields.
The environmental impact of a green roof is undenyable, and adds significantly to the LEED Point system designed by the USGC in all five major areas: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. Green roofing replaces the green space displaced by a building, prevents excess storm water drainage, reduces the temperature of a building and the urban heat island effect, protects and extends the useful life of a roof, and reduce energy demands.
What's more, a green roof incorporating AirDrain means your design includes renewable, recycled, and locally obtained materials. We know you have a choice in designing a green roof, and we hope you consider the many benefits of AirDrain.

Cork can be used as a building material. It looks chic, natural, and its eco-friendly! Cork is also resistant to mildew, rot and mold. Naturally occurring suberin is the key substance that prevents cork from rotting even when it is completely submerged under water for a long period of time.
The dramatically lit, looping ash contained within the fine doweled cage creates intricate shadows. Playing on the sense of depth and perspective, The Cage Light brings understated beauty to any space.
Available as a pendant, tripod table light or a floor light with adjustable height and dimmer switch.
Supplied with a Energy Saving Light Bulb (with a life expectancy of 10 years).
Can be made to various different sizes.
Materials
Pendant - FSC Certified Ash, Laser cut Birch Ply, Birch Dowel
Bases - Solid Steel with a polished Chrome satin Nickel finish
