10. Performance Benefits Drainage, drainage drainage Shock absorption layer provides consistent, engineered safety layer across entire field. Two part shock absorption layer, (mat and infill), enables design optimization of safety, (GMax), and playability, (vertical deformation, ball rebound). Firm but safe.

11. Performance of SDM and Traditional Turf

13. Construction Benefits Reduction of 7 days of base construction time. Elimination of the time and effort required for base aggregate testing and approval. Elimination of subsequent base drainage performance concerns.

14. Cost Effectiveness SportDrainMax™ base drainage layer will last up to two turf cycles. Eliminates concerns with base repair or remediation during replacement of turf. Turf systems typically can reduce pile height resulting in: Yarn savings Infill savings Installation savings Same turf system savings apply during replacement

15. SPORT TANK WATER MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES INNOVATIONS IN STORM WATER MANAGEMENT FOR SYNTHETIC FIELD APPLICATIONS

16. SPORT TANK WATER MANAGEMENT STRUCTURES Applications: Storage & Reuse Retention & Filtration Detention Sport Tank Water Management Structures are a patented system that provides a more efficient alternative to traditional storm water management for synthetic turf applications. Unlike a natural field, synthetic fields typically include a significant drainage and storage system constructed with natural aggregate below the turf. Utilizing Sport Tank within the synthetic turf system, storage of water runoff is maximized by the void space created by the structural modular unit.

18. High-volume storage within a small footprint: 95% void internal area

19. Modular Design: Can be placed in any shape to efficiently use space and stackable in depths of more than 7’

20. High Strength: May be used under parking lots and roads

21. Increased Infiltration: Outer shell is 90% open thereby increasing ground water recharge

22. Easy Transportation: Can be supplied un-assembled to reduce delivery cost

23. Lightweight and easy to install: Can be put in place by hand

27. ESS Sport Flow SportFlow maintains its hydraulic properties, which far surpass that of natural drainage aggregates, even under construction loading. SportFlow will provide exceptional quality controlled drainage material within your synthetic turf system. Placed under the aggregate layer, this technology will ensure excellent drainage and reduce the overall depth or your excavation and aggregate layers. Product Advantages: High flow capacity Reduces the depth of excavation and aggregate layers. Allows for wider selection of aggregate materials. Consistent, controlled drainage capabilities No chance for structure to be clogged Can withstand high loads – up to 45,000 psf Easy to install - 12.5’ foot rolls Sport Flow HF

28. ESS Sport Flow HF & New Meadowlands Stadium SPORTFLOW INSTALLED AT THE NEW MEADOWLANDS STADIUM, HOME TO THE NFL JETS & GIANTS The New Meadowlands Stadium is the newest NFL stadium to incorporate a synthetic turf athletic system. ESS Sportflow was selected to ensure the the project requirements are satisfied, excellent drainage, great compressive stiffness to support traffic, and high tensile strength for increased reinforcement. Placed under the aggregate layer, ESS Sportlfow ensured excellent drainage and was able to reduce the overall depth of the excavation and aggregate layers. This new stadium will be the home field for the New York Giants and the New York Jets, the first facility built specifically to accommodate two National Football League teams. Additionally, the multi-purpose stadium will be used for concerts and other entertainment and sports activities. The stadium is slated to open in the 2010 season.

30. ESS SportGrids/TurfGrids Product Advantages: Safe and Non-Toxic Provides a consistent athletic surface Easy to install, mix, and/or grade Resist damage Promote strong grass growth Resists the divots, pits, tracks and marks ESS Sport Grids are engineered to meet the unique requirements of your project. These synthetic fibers are engineered and manufactured for both synthetic and natural turf to reinforce and stabilize soil. They are manufactured from polypropylene and are non-toxic to plants, animals, and humans. These fibers are incorporated into the soil profile at a depth of 4 to 6 inches where they reinforce and enhance the soil properties. They are designed to increase the shear strength of the soil while not effecting permeability. LSU Tiger Stadium

31. SportGrids SportGrids are developed specifically to reinforce and provide subgrade stabilization directly under synthetic turf systems. Designed to maximize shear strength enhancement of natural soils. Technology does not effect soil permeability Reinforce all soil types, from fat clays to sugar sands. Extensively lab tested and field proven to give consistent performance.

32. SportGrids

36. TurfGrids Safe, non-toxic, polypropylene fibers incorporated into soil to reinforce root-zone mixtures for all types of turf grass. The fibers intertwine with the soil to become, in effect, a synthetic root-zone. Turfgrids can be placed directly into your growing media or incorporated into sod.

37. ESS Protector Membranes Product Advantages: Reduced Flexural Rigidy Impermeable Flexible Easy and quick installation Superior resistance to tearing and puncture. Minimized expansion and contraction Custom produced to fit any field ESS Protector Liners are impermeable membranes manufactured to be strong, yet flexible. ESS Liners have been designed, tested, and utilized specifically for synthetic turf applications. These membranes are designed to be used with synthetic or natural aggregate synthetic turf systems. They designed and utilized to minimize heat build-up, expansion and contraction of the impermeable membrane – critical to the success of your synthetic turf system.

38. ESS Geogrids Product Advantages: Soil stabilization and Base Reinforcement Increased separation between the subgrade and fill material Prevent lateral dispersion of base materials Improves structural performance ESS offers a wide selection of geosynthetic geogrids that are engineered to improve the performance of weak subgrade in athletic fields. While reinforcing and increasing the stiffness at the base the synthetic or natural sport field, the geogrid openings interact with base materials, confining them and preventing lateral dispersion and improving structural performance of the subgrade.

39. ESS Geogrids & The Perimeter Drain Compacting rounded, clean drainage stone in the perimeter drainage ditch is a challenge to most contractors on synthetic fields. The potential for the stone to displace under load causes the lines to move, especially during the infill process. Placing a layer of geogrid on top of the perimeter trench just below the turf or synthetic aggregate system helps to reduce this potential problem. The open area of the geogrid allows for the stone to interlock and resist lateral displacement through confinement. The stiff, rigid geogrid, through lateral constraint mechanism, provides a nice, stable platform for the overlying layers without reducing drainage characteristics of the aggregate.
