CONCEPT • PDS tile installed on concrete base • FieldTurf installed over the tile • Water flows: • Through Turf and PDS 2x2 Tile • Onto base • Into drains
THE COMPLETE SYSTEM FieldTurf PDS Tile Crushed Stone Concrete
THE COMPLETE SYSTEM – In Action FieldTurf PDS Tile Crushed Stone Concrete
Roof Top Anchoring – Special Case Wall FieldTurf Adhesive Angle Iron PDS Tile Crushed Stone Concrete
MAJOR BENEFITS • Precision Performance • Maximized Drainage • Installation Friendly • Reduced Installation Time • Minimized Base Cost
PRECISION PERFORMANCE • Surface Consistency • Uniform surface…anywhere • 64 squares conform to surface • No “bridging”
PRECISION PERFORMANCE • Exceptional Load Bearing Capacity • Max load at yield is 164 psi • 4.3 times greater than competition • Design safety factor of 2.7 • Competitor is 0.62…not much safety • 1,088 legs and roman arches • Support and distribute stresses • Delivers long term performance
PRECISION PERFORMANCE • Thermal Expansion and Contraction • PDS Tile will install flat in “heat” • 224 thermal “u” joints per 2x2 tile • Bi-directional 0°-90° • “Slack” in “Smart Clip” • Bi-directional • Ensures easy assembly
PRECISION PERFORMANCE • Tri-Axial Design • 0°/ 90°/±45° resists bending and twisting • Grid holes less than 9/16” wide • Eliminates “dip” causing gaps by 77% • Turf Grip • 18 Small “bumps” per small square • Edges of Tri-axial design • Infill acts as ballast • Turf stays in place. Sure footed.
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE • Maximized Volume Voids • Unequalled Vertical Permeability • Unparalleled Horizontal Transmissitivity • Outstanding Support
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE • Maximized Volume Voids • PDS tile has 84% volume voids • It’s more about what’s not there • Typical competitive product has 35% • PDS tile guarantees drainage
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE • Unequalled Vertical Permeability • PDS tile has 71% surface voids • Ensures water flow through turf/tile • PDS tile never holds back water
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE • Unparalleled Horizontal Transmissitivity • Optimized number of legs • Ensures horizontal flow • Optimized leg ht • Maximizes below tile volume • Lab tested (ASTM) • PDS tile drains 153 times better than competitive product • All this…in a low profile ½” design 0.172 0.328
MAXIMIZED DRAINAGE • Outstanding Support • 1,088 legs • 1.93 legs/si • 19% leg area/si • No load concentration • Better than a bed of nails! • Leg Beveling • Smooth “edges” Added radii to bottom of legs
INSTALLATION FRIENDLY • Lightweight design • 1.468 lbs for 3.92 sf of tile • Easy to handle, speeds up install • Easy to cut • 8 “Smart Clips” • Provide firm positive lock • Beveled “teeth” in clip • Allows for easy tile removal • Small rotation in Smart Clips • Installer can roll up the tile • Temporarily place it aside if required 8 Smart Clips

REDUCED INSTALLATION TIME • Installed in 50% less time • Increased installation capacity • Use PDS…make $$ Liner Crushed Stone Natural Soil or Fill
MINIMIZED BASE COST • Save significantly on base cost • Depending on location • Use PDS…save $$ !!! Liner Crushed Stone Natural Soil or Fill
PDS TILE MANUFACTURING • Currently • Less than 4 days • = 80,000 sf • By Nov 2007 • Less than 2 days • High Capacity
PDS Installations: 2” Stone, Liner • Approx. 500,000 sf installed • 5 fields in total • PDS is validated • Over 1 MM sf by 2008 Q1 • Varied climates • Hot, Cold, Wet
