PAT®
Prescription Athletic Turf®
Natural Field Turf Moisture Management Stats

1. Natural turf playing surface
The perfectly flat, laser-leveled playing surface, planted with appropriate turf, is ideal for sporting and non-athletic events.

2. Precision graded root surface
Root strength, canopy density and rapid recuperation -- vital signs of rugged durability -- are maximized with pure, precisely graded rootzone sand.

3. Moisture control geomembrane
The heat-welded polyethylene barrier allows precise control of the rootzone moisture level.

4. Gravity and/or vacuum enhanced drainage and subirrigation
Gravity or vacuum-enhanced drainage removes water from the rootzone. It can be returned through sub-irrigation and/or water recycling.
The PAT system's patented low-profile drain matrix minimizes installation time and construction difficulties while achieving highly efficient water movement.

5. Precisely graded rootzone sand
The barrier water level, calculated to produce the targeted air/water ratio in the rootzone, is continually monitored by sophisticated gauges. The system's computer analyzes data and automatically initiates moisture management functions to maintain ideal turf growing conditions. The system can also be operated manually by the field manager. Specialized software permits operation of an overhead irrigation system directly through the PAT control panel. Remote monitoring and troubleshooting are possible with a modem connection and software customized to your facility's design.
