CHAMPION PANEL
Lower Price Panel With Same High Quality, Strength and Durability
Champion Panel
The industry spoke, we listened and created a new panel with all the engineering accomplishments of the Professional panel but at a lower price point. Designed at just ¾ of an inch high, the Champion panel delivers amazing strength underfoot while providing the safety and performance athletes and their moms demand.
Panel Dimensions:
Actual panel dimension: 30” x 30” x .75” / 762mm x 762mm x 19.05 mm | Square footage area once installed: 28” x 28”x .75”/ 711.2mm x 711.2mm x 19.05 mm = 5.44 ft² /.505 M²
Panel Weight:
Average panel weight:1.38 pounds sq ft/.63 kg per sq m – 6 lbs per panel /2.72 kg
Environmentally Responsible – Panels 100% Recyclable The vertical flow rate of an individual UBS panel without turf is equivalent to 1,582″ per hr (4018 cm/hr).
Horizontal Drainage:
The horizontal flow rate of rainwater exiting from under an individual UBS panel = 126″ per hr (320 cm/hr).
Storage Capacity:
Each UBS panel has the ability to store the equivalent of 1.85 gallons (7 L) of water in the underside cellular structure.
GMAX:
GMAX rating of 137 achieved with no turf layer. Values ranging from 85-120 depending upon turf systems and sub base.
Vertical Deformation:
The result for all of these tests performed met the requirements for a STC Stadium Field. The requirements for a STC Stadium field are the same as those specified in the FIFA 2-Star Standard.
Force Reduction:
The result for all of these tests performed met the requirements for a STC Stadium Field. The requirements for a STC Stadium field are the same as those specified in the FIFA 2-Star Standard.
Energy Restitution:
The UBS Standard panel is designed to be part of a system consisting of most combinations of 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) turf or longer. When combined with a properly filled turf system UBS Champion will pass the FIFA 2* requirements on shock absorption, energy restitution and vertical deformation.
Rotational Resistance:
The result for all of these tests performed met the requirements for a STC Stadium Field. The requirements for a STC Stadium field are the same as those specified in the FIFA 2-Star Standard.
Load Capacity:
Static load capacity for the weakest location of the panel is equivalent to 374 psi (26.3 kgf/cm2) at 70ºF (21ºC). Load values when placed over a full descending cellular rib 998 psi (70.17 kgf/cm2).
Shear Resistance:
UBS patented turf barbs provide 3 x the grip strength for turf stability as compared to a rock base.
Expansion:
IBT patented locking feature allows adequate expansion between panels to prevent panel distortion when properly installed. Expected expansion per panel at 140F degrees (60C) is 3/32” (.24 cm).

Cover All Your Bases
The structural superiority of the panel is designed to dramatically reduce the need for extensive site preparation both indoors and outdoors, creating a base structure capable of supporting enormous loads while providing greatly improved GMAX and HIC impact numbers resulting in SAFER and more predictable playing surfaces. Large water flow volumes both vertically and horizontally are achieved with UBS Champion creating a base system capable of rapidly directing rainwater away from the turf and the players. Perfect planarity and the UBS patented non slip turf barbs all help to create a base unlike anything the market has ever seen.
Engineered to Perform
Strength and Adaptability
We proudly manufacture all of our panels from high impact, post-industrial recycled polymers, and then mold them into a patented geometric design that can not only withstand heavy loads and high impact, but can also provide a superior drainage system for any installation. By altering material selections, UltraBaseSystems® can adapt to many markets from playgrounds to courts, athletic fields to pet runs by adjusting material specifications. From rigid to flexible, soft to hard, one system does it all. Now that’s simple!
Drain Slots
Our vertical flow rates of the Pro panel can range from 340 inches to 1500 inches per hour, and horizontal flow rates are at about 126 inches per hour. Each UBS panel can store 3.58 gallons underneath it! This is all due to our patented under side cell design that allows water to store then rapidly flow without clogging through super-sized multi-directional drain slots on the underside of the panel.
Cell Structure
Because we designed our base panel system as a replacement for compacted rock, asphalt, or concrete, that mean that we had to make something that would be able to withstand the same load capacity. Well, we did. Due to engineering our panels with a 4.25’’ hexagonal cell structure, we’ve created a static load capacity for the weakest location of the panel equivalent to 374 psi (26.3 kgf/cm2). Load values when placed over a full descending cellular rib are 998 psi (70.17 kgf/cm2). Our panels can take loads like forklifts, emergency vehicles and utility trucks, among others.
Turf Grip
Our panels contain 3,000 turf barbs each. These patented barbs create highly coefficient friction which removes the turf movement issues you may face with other base systems like stone. When paired with a felt or foam backed turf, our barbs will create a stationary turf system that won’t move while it is properly installed on UltraBaseSystems panels. That means we’ve created a system that requires less infill for your turf.
Panel Locking System
We have patented the over-under locking tooth design that you’ll find on every one of our base panels. This technology creates the perfect alignment from panel to panel to promote a smooth surface for any installation. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a flat or contoured surface. We’ve achieved true ball roll and bounce with the planarity created by our system. It’s visually appealing and functional.
Tooth Detail
The interlocking tooth system not only ensures a smooth playing surface for athletic footing, but it also ensures that UBS panels stay locked together once a quadrant of 9 panels is assembled. This technology prevents our panels from shifting or disengaging due to weather or athletic movement from above.
Artificial Grass Drainage System
Ultra Base panels function both as a foundation and a drainage system which make the panels an ideal choice as a base system for artificial turf solutions like fields, playgrounds, rooftops, lawns and more. Learn more about how Ultra Base panels work to efficiently drain water through artificial grass to avoid stagnant water build up.
Applications For The Champion Panel
Athletic Field Solution
UltraBaseSystems’ panel base technology is that product. The dream of constructing world class sports fields in days, or weeks not months, in virtually any location with unsurpassed safety, drainage and playability is finally a reality.
Artificial Grass Landscaping
Stop living in the Stone Age. The days of invasively excavating the front yard or commercial property in order to install synthetic turf and filling it with dusty stone are gone! By using Ultra Base Champion panels as the base for artificial turf, this makes installing turf in any commercial or residential location easier and faster than ever before. Owning a no maintenance synthetic turf lawn has never been more practical.
Playground Solution
The industry spoke, we listened and created a new panel with all the engineering accomplishments of the Professional panel but at a new, lower price point. Designed at just ¾ of an inch high…
Rooftop Solution
Once considered to be a space only occupied by air conditioning units and pigeons, rooftops have taken on a new identity for recreation and leisure. The lightweight UBS system delivers unprecedented vertical and horizontal drainage, structural superiority underfoot, and the flexibility to follow any rooftop irregularities making the UltraBaseSystems® rooftop panel a perfect choice for converting unused rooftops into highly functional recreation and sports environments.
Kennel Solution
Your dog may love playing in the mud, but do you? Solve the problem once and for all with an UltraBaseSystems synthetic turf kennel or dog park. Designed to drain, UBS allows pet waste to quickly wash through the panels and be absorbed in to the ground just like nature intended. If you want to cover that unsightly concrete pet slab and replace it with beautiful, soft turf then look no further. Dogs love UBS and so will you.
Paver and Driveway Solution
Once again, UltraBaseSystems is turning traditional construction techniques upside down. By simply flipping the UBS Professional or Champion panel cell-side-up, we have created 100% load dispersion over every panel resulting in unsurpassed structural and traffic load bearing capacity.
