HomeMy WebLinkAbout20220323 Ver 1_Champion Panel System_20220227The industry spoke, we listened creating a new panel with all the engineering
accomplishments of the Professional panel but at a new, lower price point.
Designed at just % of an inch high, the Champion panel delivers amazing
strength underfoot while providing the safety and performance athletes and
their moms demand.
Product Number; UBSCHAMP

The structural superiority of the panel is designed to dramatically reduce the need for extensive site preparation both indoors and
outdoors, creating a base structure capable of supporting enormous loads while providing greatly improved GMAX and HIC impact
numbers resulting in SAFER and more predictable playing surfaces. Large water flow volumes both vertically and horizontally are
achieved with UBS Champion creating a base system capable of rapidly directing rainwater away from the turf and the players.
Perfect planarity and the UBS patented non -slip turf barbs all help to create a base unlike anything the market has ever seen.

Ultra BaseSysterrise Champion Panel At a Glance
GMAX
GMAX rating of 137 achieved with no turf layer. Values ranging from 85-120 depending upon turf systems and sub base.
Vertical Deformation
When paired with the proper synthetic turf and fill requirements, UBS Champion meets the FIFA2* requirements.
Force Reduction
When paired with the proper synthetic turf and fill requirements, UBS Champion meets the FIFA2* requirements.
Energy Restitution
When paired with the proper synthetic turf and fill requirements, UBS Champion meets the FIFA2* requirements.
Rotational Resistance
When paired with the proper synthetic turf and fill requirements, UBS Champion meets the FIFA2* requirements.
Vertical Drainage
Single panel flow rate 1582 inches per hour (4018 cm/hr).
Horizontal Evacuation Rate
Single panel rain fall evacuation 126 inches per hr (320 cm/hr).
Load Capacity
Static load capacity for the weakest location of the panel is equivalent to 374 psi (263 kgflcm2) at 70OF (21 OC). Load values
when placed over a full descending cellular rib 998 psi (70.17 kgf/cm2).
Shear Resistance
UBS patented turf barbs provide 3 x the grip strength for turf stability as compared to a rock base.
Vertical Sall Rebound
When paired with the proper synthetic turf and fill requirements, UBS Champion meets the FIFA2* requirements.
Storage Capacity
Single panel fluid storage capacity = 1.85 gallons (7 Liters).
Expansion
IBT patented locking feature allows adequate expansion between panels to prevent panel distortion when properly installed.
Expected expansion per panel at 140F degrees (60C) is 3/32" (.24 cm).
GMAX and HIC Safety Testing:
Extensive testing has occurred both in laboratory settings and actual field installations showing definitively that UBS panels
dramatically reduce GMAX and HIC values based on the cellular panel design. GMAX values ranging from the low 90's to
120's on compacted earth are typical with the lower end of the scale being the norm when panels are installed with a 2.25"
(5.7 cm) infill turf system. GMAX values ranging from 115-140 can be expected when standard blend panels with minimal
to no fill are installed over concrete. However, various blends of polymeric material can be manufactured into the panels
increasing resiliency and improving GMAX while maintaining structural firmness underfoot. Our panels test at a GMAX
of 121 when tested without turf on a 2" (5.08 cm) layer of compacted #7 and #81 stone with a 1" (2.54 cm) top layer of
compacted stone fines. Our panels were placed on the UBS geo stabilizing fabric which covered the compacted stone test
plot. Our panels tested at a GMAX of 81 when placed with the fabric over a 3" (7.62 cm) rock base. The results of these tests
conclusively show that UltraBaseSystems provided superior GMAX before the turf system is installed.
HIC values have shown drop heights of up to 8' (2.44 m) are achievable when a lower durometer polymeric blend is utilized.
Drop heights over 6' (1.83 m) will require, in conjunction with the UBS panels, a foam back turf, infill turf or minimal pour in
place EDPM playground system.
Laboratory and field tests also show extremely consistent ball bounce, ball roll and foot rotation readings concluding UBS is
the foundation of a SAFER and more predictable playing surface. Test results available upon request.
Displacement:
Independent lab results show that UBS panels, when installed over a geo synthetic fabric on 95% compacted earth and
repeatedly subjected to a live load equivalent to an ambulance tire load for 2.77 hours, resulted in far less displacement
than 6" (15.24 cm) of compacted 1" (2.54 cm) minus stone. The same results were also achieved on 70% compacted
earth (although not recommended for real life situations). Conclusion: UBS is a more stable sub base than 6" (15.24 cm) of
compacted stone and results in less displacement under load. This test also confirmed a drastic difference in "softness" of
the panel as compared to compacted stone. In essence UBS is a better impact absorbing surface yet far more structurally
sound then stone, a major advancement.
Storage Capacity;
Each UBS panel has the ability to store the equivalent of 1.85 gallons (7 L) of water in the underside cellular structure.
R Factor:
The R factor value of a UBS panel when covered with a 1.5" (3.8 cm) synthetic grass filled with 1 pound (.5 kg) of sand and
one of rubber is equivalent to an R value of 3.4.
