Primary Drainage
Drainage – Good drainage is essential for good sports turf. There are few sites where natural drainage suffices: supplementary drainage needs to be undertaken in those cases where the ground becomes waterlogged on occasions, or water may become perched on the surface, leading to postponed matches.
Primary drainage (for pitches which have never been adequately drained)
This is normally a drainage network using 80 to 150mm diameter drainage pipes in trenches. These drains can be placed through established surfaces with minimal disruption dramatically reducing the down time of the pitch.
This system can be installed in a number of ways
- Excavator installation. This uses an appropriate 360 machine to keep damage to a minimum on an established pitch.
- Whizz wheel installation. This uses a tractor mounted machine which even further reduces damage to an established pitch.
