AirDrain for Green Roofing

THE ADVANCED GEOCELL FOR ROOFTOP SPORTS FIELD CONSTRUCTIONRAPID DRAINAGE, COLLECTION, RETENTION AND REUSE FOR NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL TURFAirDrainby AirField SystemsSUSTAINABLEDESIGNwithAirDrain – What drains better than Air? Green Roofing - Synthetic or Natural Turf With limited space on campus, high schools and colleges are turning to rooftop sports surfaces to create multi-use green areas. Building a rooftop sports ?eld with an AirField System provides drainage under 100% of the playing surface, prevents ponding, and moves water ef?ciently for reuse elsewhere on campus. Over 1,000,000 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 shock absorption properties reducing strain on joints and ligaments ? 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 creates a one inch air barrier on the rooftop increasing the insulating properties. ? 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” Synthetic Turf 1” AirDrain System provides .576 gallons per sqft. of water storage or open space capacity for rapid drainage preventing surface ponding Geotextile Fabric Waterproof Sealed Roof per Architect/Engineer Geotextile Fabric ASTM Testing Proves the AirDrain Synthetic Turf Drainage Doubles as a Drainage Layer and Shock Pad Whether installed on an aggregate base, concrete or asphalt the AirDrain drainage grid helps provide you with a consistent GMAX (as seen below) across the entire field. Some factors that might influence a change in GMAX would be an inconsistency of the infill or wear of the synthetic turf fibers. Unlike traditional shock pads / e-layer the AirDrain is 1" high, has a 92% air void. This unmatched vertical and lateral drainage all but eliminates standing water. Some of the Benefits of an AirField Synthetic Turf Drainage System include: • AirDrain creates and helps maintain a constant Gmax for artificial turf (See below) • Shock absorption reduces the strain on joints and ligaments • AirDrain is only limited by the drainage capacity of the profile above it and the exit drain • 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 possible • AirDrain is a 100% recycled copolymer with the impact modifier metallocene qualifying it as a “No Break” plastic *** AirDrain can be made to the following specification “Flammability UL 94, 30% Fiberglass Reinforced, High Impact, Flame Retardant Polypropylene Copolymer Resins” for Rooftop applications. FLAMMABILITY @ 0.100 in V-0/5VA* UL94* GMAX Results for: Turf - 2 1/2” Slit Film, in filled with 50% Green Rubber Infill and 50% Silica Sand. The drainage/shock pad and turf underlying substrate consists of a concrete deck/rooftop, coated with a waterproof membrane and 2 separate layers of 5 ounce 100% recycled polyester geo-textile filter fabric.

AirField Systems Illustrated Manual for Green Roof System Sub-Surface Drainage 1. The roofing membrane underlying the proposed green roof area is to be verified as in compliance with all project specifications before work commencement on the AirField Sub-Surface Drainage System. Any discrepancies noted upon preliminary roofing inspection are to be satisfactorily repaired according to related specification sections and repairs verified before proceeding with work. 2. Once the roofing membrane system has been inspected and accepted, begin installation of the AirDrain™ GeoCell material over the approved roofing membrane system. The AirDrain™ GeoCell panels are to be installed with the larger diameter clover openings facing upwards. Place the first GeoCell panel to the roof area’s upper left hand corner. It is of primary importance to orient the GeoCell materials with the integral indicator tab to the panels bottom left hand corner (refer to Figures 17). Proper sequencing and orientation of panels will result in a rapid installation. The GeoCell panels are to be installed across the roofing membrane system in a rowed pattern. Staggering of rows will allow for multiple row completion by a multi-manned crew. Secure the first panel (1-1) and commence with panels 1-2, 1-3 and so on with one directional pull to secure (see Figures 16, 18 and 19). Once the first row has progressed across the field, start with the second row. By maintaining proper GeoCell panel orientation, the top edge panel connectors will drop into the previously installed panel receptors after the one directional pull secures the panel (see Figures 18). The GeoCell panels can be shaped to individual field areas as needed with an appropriate cutting device. 3. Install geo-textile filter fabric layer over the AirDrain™ GeoCell material. Firmly attach one end of the geo-textile filter fabric roll to the GeoCell panel edge with approved adhesive. Roll the geo-textile filter fabric across the entire width of the roof area until it reaches the GeoCell panel on the opposite side of the roof. Firmly attach the geo-textile filter fabric to the GeoCell panel edge on this side of the roof. Apply 2 to 4 inches of approved adhesive with a paint roller on top surface of fabric edge. Firmly attach the next geo-textile filter fabric roll to the GeoCell panel edge. Overlap the first piece of filter fabric by approximately 6 inches to cover the 2 to 4 inches of approved adhesive and roll out the next filter fabric section across the roof. When the opposite side of the roof is reached, firmly attach the filter fabric to the GeoCell panel outside edge. Repeat this process until all the AirDrain™ AirField Systems 1 Illustrated Manual for Green Roof System GeoCell is completely covered with geo-textile filter fabric. Once the geo-textile filter fabric installation is complete there should be no visible gaps, puckering, folds, wrinkles or excessive loose material overhangs. Installed geo-textile filter fabric is to be smoothly laid across all the AirDrain™ GeoCell material. 4. Once the geo-textile fabric has been installed atop the AirDrain™ GeoCell material, the Sub-Surface Drainage System is complete and ready for inspection and acceptance by the Green Roof System Contractor. Satisfactorily repair all deficiencies noted and obtain approval and acceptance before proceeding with green roof system installation. Minimize any required vehicular traffic on completed sub-surface drainage system. Where vehicular traffic is required, limit equipment to flotation tire type and minimize vehicle speed and turning on drainage system to the greatest extent possible. Any sub-surface drainage system damaged by green roof system installation is to be satisfactorily repaired and accepted before the green roof system is installed. Refer to AirDrain™ Rooftop Drainage for Synthetic Turf or Natural Turf drawings for typical completed green roof system cross section.

Orientate the AirDrain GeoCell materials with the integral indicator tab to the panel's bottom left corner (painted yellow). Install the AirDrain units by placing units with the connectors and platforms up creating a flat surface for the profile above. 2. Install the AirDrain panels across the field in a rowed pattern. Staggering of rows will allow for multiple row completion by a multi-manned crew. 3. Once the first row has progressed across the project, start with a second row. Have a person staging the panels in three's snapped together along the row. The crew can then install the left side of the panel while elevating slightly the top portion ( so the male and female connectors don't sync ) once the left side has been snapped with a pull along the row direction, the top portion should fall into place and with a bottom vertical pull snap all three parts in place. 4. AirDrain panels can be shaped to individual field areas as needed with appropriate cutting device. A. If only a few parts need to be trimmed, use tin snips. B. If many parts require trimming, set up a table and use a circular saw with a no melt, plastic cutting saw blade.
