OmniDeck® Panels: A Practical Guide to Fast, Safe Stadium & Event Turf Protection
OmniDeck is Signature Systems’ next-generation, modular turf protection system for stadium conversions, concerts, commencements, and high-traffic events. This guide explains what OmniDeck is, when to choose HD vs. LD, how to plan coverage and install efficiently, and includes a short case study.
Quick specs snapshot: Module size (HD/LD): 6' L × 3' W × 1.5" H (18 ft²). Approx. weight: HD ~58.5 lb, LD ~36 lb. Typical load guidance: HD up to ~600 psi, LD up to ~200 psi (subsurface-dependent). ADA-compatible ramps connect on any side.
What OmniDeck Is (and Why It’s Different)
- Engineered composite panels: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) with UV-resistance and an internal structure focused on strength and durability.
- Built-in locks—no loose parts: Interlocking flanges with integrated cam locks speed installation and help create smooth, trip-resistant seams.
- Omnidirectional build-out: Every exposed edge is a start point—crews can build around posts, outlets, and walls without bottlenecks.
HD vs. LD—How to Choose
OmniDeck HD is the heavy-duty, closed-bottom panel for drivable lanes, lifts, and staging zones. OmniDeck LD is the light-duty, open-bottom panel that promotes airflow and drainage—ideal for pedestrian and chair-set areas. Most stadiums mix both: HD where vehicles/equipment operate, LD where crowds move.
Planning, Coverage & Crew Flow
- Coverage math: Each module covers 18 ft²; allow a small reduction for overlaps and edge conditions.
- Staging: Place pallets at multiple access points so crews can install in parallel (omnidirectional assembly).
- Surface prep: Aim for level, compact, debris-free surfaces. Sweep before install for best traction and finish.
- Ramps & perimeters: Add ADA ramps anywhere for accessible transitions and a clean edge detail.
Step-by-Step Install (Field-Proven)
- Snap a straight reference line for your first course.
- Seat flanges fully and engage the cam locks; confirm seams are flush.
- Build outward in multiple directions; omit a panel where subsurface access is needed.
- Mix HD lanes with LD walkways to balance strength, cost, and speed.
Where OmniDeck Excels
- Stadium conversions: Concerts, ceremonies, esports; protect turf while supporting staging and crowd loads.
- Access lanes & work pads: Drivable routes for forklifts/carts and platform areas for lifts and gear.
- Temporary pedestrian surfaces: Chair grids, VIP zones, and ADA-compliant walkways.
Case Study: Weekend Stadium Concert Conversion
A 65,000-seat venue needed to host a Saturday concert between home games. The crew staged pallets at three field tunnels and split into teams. Team A laid OmniDeck HD lanes for equipment access and stage build-out; Team B filled the remaining field with LD panels for pedestrian areas.
Outcome: Same-day field coverage, smooth trip-resistant seams, and efficient gear movement. Post-event, removal finished overnight; turf checks showed no remediation beyond routine grooming, allowing a normal training session the next morning.
