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 Isometric View, Top of Panel 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.

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.
