Precision Performance and Maximized Drainage
1
CONCEPT
•
PDS tile installed on concrete base
•
FieldTurf installed over the tile
•
Water flows:
 Through Turf and PDS 2x2 Tile
 Onto base
 Into drains

MAJOR BENEFITS
•
Precision Performance
•
Maximized Drainage
•
Installation Friendly
•
Reduced Installation Time
•
Minimized Base Cost
6
PRECISION PERFORMANCE
•
Surface Consistency
 Uniform surface…anywhere
 64 squares conform to surface
 No “bridging”
7
PRECISION PERFORMANCE
•
Exceptional Load Bearing Capacity
 Max load at yield is 164 psi
 4.3 times greater than competition
 Design safety factor of 2.7
 Competitor is 0.62…not much safety
 1,088 legs and roman arches
 Support and distribute stresses
 Delivers long term performance

PRECISION PERFORMANCE
•
Thermal Expansion and Contraction
 PDS Tile will install flat in “heat”
 224 thermal “u” joints per 2x2 tile
 Bi-directional 0°-90°
 “Slack” in “Smart Clip”
 Bi-directional
 Ensures easy assembly
10
PRECISION PERFORMANCE
•
Tri-Axial Design

0°/ 90°/±45° resists bending and twisting

Grid holes less than 9/16” wide
 Eliminates “dip” causing gaps by 77%
•
Turf Grip

18 Small “bumps” per small square

Edges of Tri-axial design

Infill acts as ballast

Turf stays in place. Sure footed.

MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE
•
Maximized Volume Voids
•
Unequalled Vertical Permeability
•
Unparalleled Horizontal Transmissitivity
•
Outstanding Support
12
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE
•
Maximized Volume Voids
 PDS tile has 84% volume voids
 It’s more about what’s not there
 Typical competitive product has 35%
 PDS tile guarantees drainage
13
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE
•
Unequalled Vertical Permeability
 PDS tile has 71% surface voids
 Ensures water flow through turf/tile
 PDS tile never holds back water
14
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE
•
Unparalleled Horizontal Transmissitivity
 Optimized number of legs
 Ensures horizontal flow
0.172
 Optimized leg ht
0.328
 Maximizes below tile volume
 Lab tested (ASTM)
 PDS tile drains 153 times better than
competitive product
 All this…in a low profile ½” design
15
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE
•
Outstanding Support
Added radii to bottom of legs
 1,088 legs




1.93 legs/si
19% leg area/si
No load concentration
Better than a bed of nails!
 Leg Beveling
 Smooth “edges”
16
INSTALLATION FRIENDLY
•
Lightweight design
 1.468 lbs for 3.92 sf of tile
 Easy to handle, speeds up install
 Easy to cut
8 “Smart Clips”
 Provide firm positive lock
•
8 Smart Clips
•
Beveled “teeth” in clip
 Allows for easy tile removal
•
Small rotation in Smart Clips
 Installer can roll up the tile
 Temporarily place it aside if required
