What is Sports Field Drainage & Why is it Important
While sports turf irrigation is meticulously designed to apply water to your field, drainage is the complementary and equally vital system that efficiently removes any excess water from the playing surface. This crucial balance ensures optimal playing conditions by:
- Minimising damage caused by waterlogging: Preventing prolonged saturation that suffocates grassroots, promotes disease, and turns the field into an unplayable quagmire.
- Preventing soil saturation: Ensuring the root zone maintains healthy oxygen levels, which is essential for strong turf growth and resilience against compaction.
- Controlling surface runoff: Reducing erosion, nutrient loss, and the creation of slippery, hazardous areas on the field by effectively channeling excess water away.
Effective drainage systems are essential for maintaining safe and playable sports fields, particularly in regions with heavy rainfall. Efficient sports field drainage systems allow return to play quicker and allows more useable hours for your field. The best time to install a sports field drainage system is before you have an issue with your field. For a standard football field, the installation of drainage itself typically takes a week with planning occurring months prior.
