Profile Solutions Software (PS3)

Profile Products has created the industry’s first and only web-based design and selection tool that integrates erosion control engineering with agronomic excellence, called Profile Soil Solutions Software (PS3). This site enables design professionals, agencies, and contractors to access engineering and agronomic assistance for erosion and sediment control quickly and easily.

Since erosion control projects should never materialize without a comprehensive evaluation of soil, PS3 assists in the interpretation of sample soil. The analysis offers prescriptive application rates of various agronomic formulations based on key soil properties such as texture, classification, pH, nutrient levels, organic matter content, electro-conductivity, sodium absorption ratio, and potentially elevated levels of harmful salts and metals. In addition, it provides complete design documentation including product specifications, installation guidelines, CAD drawings and other pertinent technical information.

“The new PS³ software provides professionals with a holistic and sustainable approach toward cost-effective erosion control, vegetative establishment and subsequent reductions in sediment and other associated pollutants from leaving disturbed sites and entering water bodies,” said Michael Robeson, M.S., P.E., CPESC, technical services manager for PROFILE Products LLC.

You can access this software at www.profileps3.com. Please know the information you enter into the PS3 software will be kept in strict confidence and will not be released to any parties outside of Profile Products.

The Real Winner of the All-American Classic Regional Tournament: Turface® Professional Mound Clay®

A coach of the oldest Youth Baseball Organization league in the country, Tommy Williams, just finished hosting the 32-team, All-American Classic Regional Tournament in Memphis, TN, for 14 and 18 year olds. Spanning across 4 major fields, there was a total of 94 games played over a one-week period with teams from California, Georgia, Kentucky, and even Canada.

With all the activity and exposure, Williams is thankful to be Profile’s Turface® Professional Mound Clay® and Turface QuickDry® customer. Using these products on all 11 of his fields, Tommy relies heavily upon Turface’s efficacy in his 23rd year of hosting the All-American Classic.

Mound Clay allows pitching mounds, batter’s, and catcher’s boxes to withstand intense activity, providing the best footing and wear resistance possible. Turface Professional Mound Clay is virgin clay, devoid of additives that diminish preexisting clay quality. Because the pitching mound, batter’s, and catcher’s boxes are involved in every play of the game, daily maintenance is imperative.

Although daily maintenance might sound like a chore, Mound Clay responds exceptionally well to the heavy traffic imposed upon it. Thrilled with the quality of his fields, Williams said, “You would not believe how little repair work we do on our mounds just by using this product. The only signs I put up at the tournaments were my Turface and Profile Products signs because they have made our fields what they are today.”With the right application and maintenance, Turface products produce satisfied customers like Tommy all over the country. It’s not just a field—it’s a quality standard.
