Sports Field Drainage Systems

Drainage systems can be installed on existing sports fields with very little disruption or damage to the playing surface. A waterlogged field can be out of action for weeks in a wet spring or summer. To solve this problem drainage systems can be installed out of season to prevent disruption to team schedules.

A typical drainage system consists of a lattice of lateral drains linked to a main drain. State of the art machines leave as little mess as possible and have low pressure tracks and tires making sure that minimum damage is done to the ground.

Sports Field Top Dressing

Sand top dressing simply applies up to 10mm of sand to an existing surface. This greatly improves the surface structure of the soil and increases the surface drainage. Sand dressings are commonly applied to ensure that pitches do not become capped with the drains sealed over. Each dressing uses between 60-100 tonnes of sand, depending on the size of pitch.
