More about drainage
Good drainage is essential for sports fields, athletics tracks and other sports facilities. After a rain shower, water needs to be drained as quickly and safely as possible, so the surface can be used again and athletes can use the facility safely.
W&H supplies various water management solutions for sports complexes, athletics tracks, playing grounds and recreational environments. Think of drainage channels, slot drains, silt traps and grates that have been specially developed for sports applications.
As an ACO Sport dealer, W&H supplies drainage channels suitable for sports facilities where safety, durability and performance are important. ACO Sport has extensive experience with drainage systems for athletics tracks and sports complexes and is used worldwide in high-quality sports environments.
The drainage channels ensure that rainwater is drained efficiently. This helps to limit waterlogging, puddles and slippery situations on or around the sports facility.
For athletics tracks, good drainage is extra important. Water on the track can affect safety, performance and usability of the facility. That is why drainage systems must not only work well, but also meet the sports technical requirements of the track.
We supply sports channels that can be used along athletics tracks and other sports facilities. Depending on the situation, these channels can be combined with suitable covers and additional drainage components.
Sports channels can be fitted with a cover. This cover ensures a neat and safe finish to the channel and makes the solution better suited for sports environments. The covers can be easily installed and removed when maintenance is needed.
The side entry openings ensure efficient water drainage, while the cover contributes to a safe transition around the sports facility. Depending on the design, the covers can also be suitable for loads from maintenance equipment.
In addition to sports channels, we also supply slot drains and silt traps. Slot drains are suitable for situations where water needs to be drained in a narrow and efficient way. Silt traps help to catch dirt, sand and other material before it ends up further in the drainage system.
By using the right combination of channels, covers and silt traps, the drainage system continues to function better and maintenance is made easier.
Drainage is not only important for athletics tracks, but also for playing fields, sports parks and recreational areas. In places where sports are played or played intensively, a good water management system is important for safety, ease of use and maintaining the ground.
We are happy to think along with you about the right drainage solution for your facility. In doing so, we look at the sports application, ground conditions, loads, water drainage and the desired finish.
Every sports facility requires a different drainage solution. The right choice depends on the location, the type of sports facility, the amount of water that needs to be drained, the ground conditions and how the facility is used.
We can advise on the correct application of ACO Sport drainage systems. This results in a solution that matches the sports technical use and the practical requirements of the facility.
