Green Roof – Synthetic or Natural Turf

With limited space on campus, high schools and colleges are turning to synthetic turf rooftop sports surfaces to create multi-use green areas.  Building a synthetic turf rooftop sports field with an AirField System provides drainage under 100% of the playing surface, prevents ponding, and moves water efficiently for reuse elsewhere on campus. Acts as a shockpad reducing GMAX  by approximately 15% on cement for the life of the field. 

Over 5,000,000 square feet of AirDrain rooftop drainage system installed and counting.

Natural Turf- Chesapeake Energy 74,000 sqft. Synthetic Turf- Escuela Campo Alegre 76,000 sqft. and WPI “Worcester Polytechnics Institute” 174,000 sqft.

Benefits of AirField in a green roofing system include:

  • AirDrain creates and helps maintain a more consistent Gmax for Synthetic Turf
  • ASTM testing proves AirDrain’s shockpad absorption properties reducing strain on joints and ligaments approx 15% reduction on a cement base 
  • AirDrain can be reused when the Synthetic Turf must be replaced
  • Can help qualify for LEED™ and other green building credits
  • A smaller carbon and development footprint with reduced site disturbance
  • Water harvesting reclamation and reuse is easy
  • AirDrain is a 100% recycled copolymer with the impact modifier “metallocene” qualifying it as a “No Break” plastic. Making it able to withstand extreme heat and cold and still maintain performance.
  • Resins can be made to the following specification “Flammability UL 94, Flame Retardant, High Impact Polypropylene Copolymer Resins”
