Simplicity is not only a matter of aesthetic value, it's a moral value too. The absence of unnecessary graphic features as well as using low-impact, non-toxic, sustainably produced or recycled materials, builds a fair relation between these local natural products, humans and nature.
The Cherenkov Telescope Array project (CTA) is an international initiative to build the next generation of ground-based gamma-ray instrumentation. The CTA will serve as an open observatory to the global astrophysics community and will provide deep insights into the non-thermal, high-energy universe.
The program for the concept masterplan includes a 3,500 sq.ft. Visitor Center, a 6,000 sq.ft. Administrative/ Control Center, a 10,000 sq.ft. Dormitory, and a 30,000 sq.ft. Lab and Technical building. All structures on site are being designed for net zero energy usage and LEED-Platinum certifications.
The telescope array itself is half a mile in diameter and consists of 29 telescopes; 25 MST’s (12 meter dishes) and 4 LST’s (24 meter dishes). The CTA Consortium is staffed by over 1000 working members representing 27 different countries including Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Sweden, England, and the United States.

Benefits of an AirPave grass paving system include:
Check out AirField Systems AirPave Solution for Grass Pave
Up to 40% cost savings on shipping, compared with rolled grass paving systems
AirDrain has been installed in over 400 projects
100% recycled injection-molded copolymer polypropylene plastic units with an impact modifier added to achieve a (NO-BREAK) plastics classification and a minimum 3% carbon black added for UV protection
Loading capability is equal to 233 psi empty capacity and 6,747 psi when filled with sand, over an appropriate base depth that provides adequate support for project design loads.
AirDrain is shipped palletized at 7 sq. ft. per part 114 parts per pallet and approximately 795 sq. ft. per pallet. Unit weight = 3.10 lbs, volume = 8% solid
Patented Expansion and Contraction joints
Whether natural or artificial, installing a median strip, commercial landscape or aviation turf area with the AirDrain geocell can increase turf health, reduce or eliminate maintenance, and save time and money during installation and over the life of the project. Call to learn more about AirDrain for medians and a variety of landscape applications
The Lower East Side now has a new community center and fitness facility called the Manny Cantor Center to call its own thanks to a $55 million renovation conceptualized by Platt Byard Dovell White Architects.

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
GMAX Information Existing Conditions for Testing
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.
