The present invention relates to a novel infill material for use in artificial turf systems characterised in that it is composed of particles larger than 5 mm, free of volatiles, and designed such that it meets the technical FIFA homologation requirements; as well as the method of manufacturing from materials recovered from plastic waste at the end of the useful life thereof, obtaining an system which is ecological, sustainable, recycled and recyclable, and also free of toxic substances which does not pose any health or environmental risks

An artificial turf system provides an existing artificial turf including a plurality of existing artificial turf fibres and an existing artificial turf backing configured to carry the plurality of existing artificial turf fibres, a new artificial turf comprising a plurality of artificial turf fibres and an artificial turf backing layer, where the artificial turf backing layer comprises a carrier structure configured to carry the plurality of artificial turf fibres, and a geogrid positioned between the existing artificial turf and the backing layer of the new artificial turf.

A modular assembly and method of installing a modular assembly is provided. The modular assembly can include a plurality of base members made of a plastic material, each base member including a top surface and a bottom surface opposite of the top surface, the bottom surface defining channels. A plurality of support members can be provided, each of the plurality of support members may extend across the plurality of base members and disposed within the channels of the plurality of base members. A mounting bracket can be configured to mount each of the plurality of support members to a metal plate of a lower support structure, the metal plate being received by a clamp of the mounting bracket. Each of the plurality of base members can adjoin one another to form a horizontal platform for traffic.

Methods of fabricating and using at least one temporary transfer station to distribute debris from at least one damaged area to at least one landfill may include identifying and locating at least one transfer station site, fabricating the at least one temporary transfer station by preparing at least one transfer station slab on the at least one transfer station site, transporting the debris from the at least one damaged area to the at least one transfer station slab, placing the debris on the at least one transfer station slab, removing the debris from the at least one transfer station slab, transporting the debris to the at least one landfill and removing the at least one transfer station slab from the at least one transfer station site.

An interlocking tile includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and marginal faces disposed along a perimeter of the top surface. The tile also includes at least one male coupler disposed on a first marginal face and at least one female coupler extending from the bottom surface and disposed on a second marginal face. The at least one female coupler includes an arm, the arm comprising a first notch for engaging with a corresponding male coupler of an adjacent tile at a first position, and a second notch for engaging with the corresponding male coupler of the adjacent tile at a second position.

The invention relates to a gutter element for draining, for example, road surfaces, which can be joined together to form a line of guttering. In order to seal off the connection, an elastic seal (30) is provided in the abutment region. In order to improve the hydraulic properties of the gutter, the cross-sectional profile of the invert (16) of the gutter (10) is substantially V-shaped. To improve sealing, the profile following the seal (30) in cross-section should be formed differently to that of the invert (16) in such a way that it has a constant maximum radius of curvature in the region of the gutter invert.

A golf course bunker drainage system has been developed that is a modular structure taking the form of a plurality of porous bunker paver blocks formed of material exhibiting vertical and horizontal infiltration rates at least the same as bunker sand. The plurality of porous bunker paver blocks is disposed as a boundary layer between a bunker subsoil bottom surface and overlying bunker sand, allowing rainwater to drain into the subsoil, with excess rainwater directed away from the bunker sand. The use of bunker paver blocks also maintains the integrity of the bunker shape and prevents movement of sand and other materials along steeply sloping bunker sidewalls.

The present invention is directed to a perforated tactile warning device comprising a tactile panel and a porous concrete slab. The tactile panel includes perforations to allow water to pass through the tactile panel and the tactile panel is secured to the porous concrete slab such that a space exists between the tactile panel and the porous concrete slab. Further, the porous concrete slab may include channels to collect water and direct water within the porous concrete slab. Further still, where the concrete slab includes channels, the concrete slab may be nonporous and may utilize drainage holes to permit water to pass through an otherwise nonporous concrete substrate.

A sheet for use in ground works, the sheet having an upper face with an plurality of openings therein, a lower face configured so as to permit liquid to drain through the sheet and a spacing arrangement to separate the upper face from the lower face and define a volume therebetween, where the volume is capable of receiving an infill material via the openings in the upper face. The lower face of the sheet is configured to be interengageably secured to an upper face of a similar further sheet.

An integrated ground surface system is provided for collecting and recycling de-icing fluid. The system includes: a permeable ground surface layer; a containment area located below the permeable ground surface layer, and comprising an impermeable liner to collect the de-icing fluid; a reservoir in fluidic communication with the containment area for storing the de-icing fluid; and an applicator device in fluidic communication with the reservoir to dispense the de-icing fluid.
