A great artificial turf field should mimic a great natural one
PowerBase/YSR
We view the field as a piece of equipment that has a significant impact on an athlete’s safety. We are of the firm belief that a safer system not only enhances player protection, but also offers quicker drainage, prolonged durability, and environmental preservation.
PowerBase/YSR is made from expanded polypropylene, one of the most durable polymers on earth. Each panel is molded individually, allowing precise quality control. This results in a field that is flat and consistent underfoot. It is also recyclable without ever losing performance. A proper artificial sports surface is tuned for the athletes using it. PowerBase/YSR was engineered for schools, recreational fields and for use with organic infills.
Proven, fast drainage
Brock PowerBase/YSR has large lateral channels that transport water to the collector system along the edge. Even where the panels intersect, the drainage channels line up, so there is no interruption in water flow.
Top view features:
Smart – A stairstep edge supports the artificial turf and prevents gaps from shadowing on the field.
Responsive – Conical piston shape reacts dynamically to variable running loads for a more natural feel of play.
Dynamic – 6 mm crush ribs regulate thermal expansion; Accommodates 130-degree F change in temperature.
Permeable – Millions of drain holes on every field line up with channels on the bottom of each pad.
Bottom view features:
Precise – Crush ribs control fit during installation.
Responsive – Shock absorbing bottom of pad structures.
Dynamic – Drain channels are continuous between panels for water flow.
Draining – Large high volume drainage channels.
The Surface for Athletes
Achieving the proper performance levels for Impacts, Heat and Traction in a quality artificial turf defines the modern sports surface design.
By using the various standardized tests, we can now create an artificial surface as close to natural as ever before. The green areas designate the desired performance ranges of quality natural turf. The spokes indicate the performance results of the artificial turf field systems described in the center. Keep in mind, the turf pile height ranged from 1.5”-2.0” and consisted of products from every brand of turf, yet all of the systems performed well.
Extreme storms demand extreme drainage
Solving drainage problems with PowerBase YSRXD
When artificial turf is replaced, the underlying stone base has most likely changed. Over time, the base’s flow rate degrades, leading to poor water drainage that can impact the new turf. PowerBase YSRXD builds on the proven drainage of our standard YSR Pad, enhancing drainage for areas with extreme rainfall or compromised bases.
Superior Drainage Performance
With the highest flow rates of any pad in the industry, YSRXD is Engineered to manage water when the base doesn’t. PowerBase YSRXD ensures that storm water is efficiently channeled away from the field, reducing the risk of damage to both the turf and the underlying base. This improves the longevity and performance of the surface.
Faster Installation
Forget the hassle of tearing out and replacing the entire stone base. PowerBase YSRXD provides a high-performance drainage layer that can be quickly installed, saving time and expense. Your turf is ready for reinstallation in a fraction of the time.
Increased Safety & Durability
The impact and performance characteristics of PowerBase YSRXD adds a level of safety not achievable with turf placed directly over stone, more closely mimicking the qualities of great natural grass.
Cost-Effective
The high capacity drainage of YSRXD solves drainage issues without the need for costly stone base replacement, while also improving safety and extending the life of the turf.
Proven
Field replacements where the base was essentially impermeable have used YSRXD to manage storm water effectively.
