Brock PowerBase™ Designers & Builders

A complete base system for the designer and builder

Using Brock simplifies the base design and construction process significantly. With PowerBase you receive ground stabilization, thermal insulation and drainage properties that stone bases or other drainage & shock pads cannot offer without added material and labor costs. Building with Powerbase means less site excavation, drastically reduced stone usage and transportation, fewer materials to purchase, and faster construction time. This all equates to a win for the environment as there are less CO2 emissions, less site damage due to fewer trucks and heavy equipment being utilized, and less noise pollution.

No deformation in the base

When you put PowerBase under the turf, it distributes loads 100% over the material beneath it. This load spreading capacity helps to stabilize the aggregate layer (or subgrade) to protect it from deforming during installation, maintenance and athletic play. PowerBase is also robust enough to handle vehicle loads during turf installation, emergencies or maintenance on the field.

Stability under the turf

PowerBase provides superior dimensional stability through temperature variations, wet, dry and frozen conditions. Our unique BrockLock™ interlocking design ensures the panels will not move during or after installation. Unlike other “underlayments” PowerBase will not displace turf, deform, buckle from heat or moisture, or form gaps in cold or dry conditions which can be seen through the turf. No other manufactured system on the market is free from any of these issues.

Insulation from frost

PowerBase is a highly effective insulator that protects against surface deformation caused by sub base frost heave. The chart shows the insulation value of PowerBase compared to an equivalent stone or sand depth. This insulation value of PowerBase simplifies base construction in cold climates while still providing protection against frost heave.
