Northern Arizona University Skydome facility is guarded from microbial contamination with the TriBan Antimicrobial System by Triton Technology Group
Flagstaff, Arizona…The Lumberjacks are charging into the Northern Arizona University’s (NAU) J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome this season with an extra defense in their playbook- the advanced protection of the TriBan Antimicrobial System guarding their facility, equipment and field of play.
“In the news every season there are stories of strong, otherwise healthy athletes being negatively affected by microorganisms – from fungi that cause athletes foot and jock itch, to molds that can enflame asthma, to bacteria that can cause staph infections including the methacilin-resistant strand MRSA,“ said Ryan Pinson, Northern Arizona University head athletic trainer.
Over the summer, the NAU Athletic Department got serious protection from microorganisms by treating the locker rooms and training facilities of the Skydome with the continually active TriBan Antimicrobial system. The nano-technology powering the TriBan system will help to ensure that the surfaces that the Lumberjack’s come in contact with are protected from harboring these hidden opponents.
“Creating an environment that enables peak performance from our equipment and our athletes is our number one priority, which is why we didn’t hesitate to treat our athletic complex with the TriBan Antimicrobial System,” said Pinson.
“With the comprehensive TriBan Antimicrobial System on your side, coaches and athletic trainers can focus on the athlete and worry much less about the facility and equipment,” said Art McWood, president of the Triton Technology Group.
“The key to the TriBan system is the antimicrobial application,” McWood continued. “TriBan uses the most advanced antimicrobial available, designed to control and eliminate the growth of a wide array of bacteria, mold, fungi and mildew on treated surfaces. It creates a barrier on the surface that is physically inhospitable to future microbial growth. To the human eye and touch, the application is invisible, but for microbes, it is an end-game.”
Through Triton’s partnership with Hellas Construction, Northern Arizona had the varsity locker rooms for all sports, the training room and weight room and the field of the J. Lawrence Walkup Skydome building treated with the TriBan Antimicrobial System. Additionally, NAU is treating the turf fields at the new Recreational Fields Expansion project on the south campus with the TriBan System.
Unlike most other antimicrobials that leach chemicals or heavy metals into the air and the surrounding environment, this unique technology controls microbial growth without leaching making it an effective, “green” alternative for universities.
“Part of our decision to choose the TriBan Antimicrobial System was out of concern for the environment. Knowing that this was a non-invasive, green technology that would not have any adverse affects to the environment, the field or equipment made choosing TriBan easy,” said Pinson.
The TriBan Antimicrobial System is a comprehensive approach to microbial treatment and prevention, a customized treatment plan is created for each team that involves a deep cleaning with an EPA registered germ killer and fungicide and followed by an application of the continuously active antimicrobial to the surfaces. Finally, post-testing by an independent lab and a long-term service plan covers annual re-inspections, retesting and service calls complete the process.
