F. Perimeter Ledge/Nailer: The synthetic turf concrete perimeter fastening structure shall be per the detail drawings and installed before the drainage aggregate. Nailer board shall be 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch below grade when adjacent to hard walking surface (i.e. concrete or tile). Perimeter nailer board shall be flush to grade (or as specified in site detail drawings) when adjacent to soft surface (i.e. natural grass, mulch).

G. Base and Drainage Construction:

1. The Contractor shall strictly adhere to the installation procedures outlined under this section and per the detailed drawings.

a. Base and Drainage aggregate: The installation of the free draining base course aggregate of 3 inches of a 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch washed and angular stone capped with

1 inch of 3/8 inch washed and angular stone is the preferred installation method. Each layer of stone must be compacted with a vibratory plate compactor multiple times. If a two-layer stone base is not achievable, a full 4 inches of a 3/8 inch clean angular stone could be used as a secondary option. If the subgrade does not permit liquids to freely percolate, auxiliary drainage is required. Base material must be installed to a depth of 4 inches to a minimum of 90% compaction rate. The drainage network and its existing elevations shall not be disrupted through ground pressures from trucks, dozers, or by other means.

b. The stone must be left firm and compacted while allowing the porosity and drainage capabilities of the aggregate profile.

c. After a final inspection of the stone base by the Contractor and CDCR’s representative, the synthetic turf installation shall begin.

H. Synthetic Turf Edge Seaming:

1. The synthetic grass rolls must be laid out and installed as specified in the site layout and equipment placement drawings.

Synthetic grass rolls must begin with the longest perpendicular cross-field distance and should follow the following procedures. Grass rolls shall be installed with pile leaning the same direction.

a. Synthetic grass should be rolled out for a period recommended by manufacturer prior to starting seaming procedures and allowed to relax/expand. All visible wrinkles shall be stretched out before seaming.

b. Synthetic grass rolls shall be joined at seams via single layer fiber tape reinforced with specialty turf seam adhesive.

c. Seams shall be flat, tight and permanent with no separation or fraying.

d. Seams shall be rolled with weighted roller to ensure adhesion. Synthetic turf yarn fabric that is trapped or glued between seams must be freed from the seams by hand or other approved method to an upright position prior to the commencement of brushing and top-dressing synthetic grass rolls wherever possible.

I. Synthetic Turf Perimeter Attachment:

a. After final layout and seaming of the synthetic grass product, synthetic turf material must be secured to the perimeter ledge/nailer utilizing stainless steel Allen head or

Torx drive screws with center pin reject, button head, and stainless-steel washers at

3 inches on center.

J. Soil or surfacing material outside of the defined synthetic turf area shall be backfilled against turf wrapped perimeter edge and have zero transition edge to synthetic turf unless otherwise specified.
