Athletic Field Drainage

The design of Hydraway 2000 allows for hydrostatic pressure relief by acting as a shallow underdrain and the ultimate solution for Synthetic Turf Drainage. Hydraway has been installed in many synthetic turf fields worldwide, including: soccer parks, football fields, baseball diamonds, and more.

Engineers choose Hydraway because of its High inflow ratings and cost savings during install. Many installers have been using Hydraway for over 25 years with no known failures.

The Hydraway Drain 2000 is made of a heavy-duty, clog resistant geotextile fabric, which is permanently bonded to a rugged polyethylene lattice core for strength and support. It resists the effects of hydrocarbons and offers outstanding low temperature flexibility.

Specially-engineered design permits high flow rates for rapid dewatering of the soil, while effectively preventing passage of soil particles.

The design of Hydraway allows it to relieve hydrostatic pressure by acting as a shallow underdrain. Hydraway 2000 is a superior performing and cost effective replacement for the “French” drain, or other conventional “drain-tile” systems.

The new head coach of the St. Louis Rams wanted a synthetic field installed outside of their newly built practice facility to get the players used to playing in all kinds of conditions. The coach also wanted the base to be of sand instead of rock incase the team wanted to go back to natural Bermuda grass in the future.

Hydraway 2000 12″ was installed horizontally on the subgrade and sand was placed on the entire field. Then a product called “Fiber Soils” was integrated into the top four inches of sand to basically tighten up the sand so it won’t create impressions when walked or driven on. Then the turf was placed.

As a result, the field drains well and the Rams were pleased.
