A great artificial turf pitch should mimic a great natural one
Brock PowerBase/EU
We consider the playing field not just as a backdrop for sports but as a critical piece of equipment pivotal to an athlete’s safety and performance. Our philosophy is grounded in the conviction that a safer sports system transcends mere player protection—it encompasses rapid water drainage, exceptional durability, and a commitment to environmental sustainability.
PowerBase/EU is crafted from expanded polypropylene, one of the most durable polymers on earth. Each panel is meticulously molded to ensure unparalleled quality control, delivering a playing surface that is consistently flat and reliable underfoot. Not only does PowerBase/EU excel in performance but also in durability. Brock shock pads are designed to be used for multiple turf life cycles without losing performance, with over 125 Brock fields on their second or third turf cycle. Designed with the needs of schools, recreational facilities, and organic infill preferences in mind, PowerBase/EU is the embodiment of our dedication to enhancing athlete safety, field longevity, and ecological responsibility.
The right balance of stiffness and softness
An athlete’s brain and body are of paramount importance for their health and career. Every detail of Brock PowerBase/EU is engineered to maximize safety without slowing down the game.

The Surface for Athletes
Achieving the proper performance levels for Impacts, Heat and Traction in a quality artificial grass system defines the modern sports surface design.
By using the various standardized tests, we can now create an artificial surface as close to natural as ever before. The green areas designate the desired performance ranges of quality natural grass. The spokes indicate the performance results of the artificial grass field systems described in the center. Keep in mind, the turf pile height ranged from 38mm-51mm and consisted of products from every brand of turf, yet all of the systems performed well.
