Only 5 weeks after installation the turf on the AirField Systems 74,000 sqft. Chesapeake Energy Rooftop Sports Field is performing as expected with 6 inch root growth. Even in a record breaking Oklahoma summer of 50 plus days with over 100 degree heat, the turf is healthy and beautiful.

The Chesapeake Central Car Park natural turf field is already one of the premier rooftop installations in the country. Designed by Elliott + Associates Architects, constructed by Smith & Pickel, and installed by Total Environment, not only is it a playable sports surface but the sand profile also makes it a filtration system that captures all the water hitting the profile and allows the water to pass through and into the adjoining creek without any question of the quality of water exiting the field.

After a 5 year study at Texas A&M in conjunction with the USGA, the AirField System has proven to be more efficient in its ability to provide plant available water to the root zone of the turf above. AirField also reduces the frequency of irrigation needs by up to 67% greatly reducing the cost of operating an elite playing field.

With over 200 installations AirField Systems www.airfieldsystems.com, is rapidly becoming the go-to drainage system for top notch natural turf and synthetic sports fields.
