Revolutionary base system for synthetic turf field is a big hit with MLB

 

UltraBaseSystems selected by AstroTurf and the Tampa Bay Rays as the base system for new field at spring training facility.  

(Port Charlotte Florida, March 14, 2011)  Innovative Base Technologies, the manufacturers of the patented UltraBaseSystems base structure for synthetic turf installations has recently completed the new synthetic turf half field at the Tampa Bay Rays spring training facility in Port Charlotte Florida.  (click here to view installation)
Selected as the official synthetic turf of MLB, AstroTurf of Dalton Georgia called on UltraBaseSystems to enhance their new state of the art turf. Speed of installation, dramatically reduced ground prep and unprecedented solid feel underfoot made UltraBase the logical choice for this high profile installation. With a starting date only a few days before spring training, the UBS team showed up with a plan and panels in hand making easy work of this installation. Total time for sod removal, earth preparation and panel and turf installation was a little over 2 days for this 6,700 sq. ft. infield.  If speed was the only gauge of a great project, this one would receive an A+, but the rave reviews of the coaches, players and grounds crew secured this installation as the beginning of a new era in synthetic turf installation. In the words of Rays coach Joe Madden who hit grounders to the infielders, and was also pleased with the surface, "I like it," he said. "The infield turf played at a good speed, a real good speed."

After years in development Innovative Base Technologies, LLC is proud to launch UltraBaseSystems. Already called an industry game changer by many experts, the new interlocking panel structure dramatically reduces the need for extensive ground preparation and labor while creating a solid structure underfoot capable of delivering superior vertical and horizontal drainage while maintaining athlete performance and improving safety. Unlike other underlayment systems on the market, UltraBaseSystems is a solid, interlocking base structure which will not move and allows for the installation of synthetic turf in virtually any location or climate. Rooftops to natural grass retrofits, athletic fields to courts, putting greens and playgrounds, there are no longer any limits due to lack of accessibility or zoning restrictions.
