Subsurface infrastructure
Provide a neat, safe, and future-proof sports facility with subsurface infrastructure from W&H. This subcategory includes, among other things, cable distribution manholes and sand trap elements for long jump pits.
Subsurface infrastructure is often less visible than sports equipment or field layout, but it plays an important role in the day-to-day use, maintenance, and safety of a sports location. It helps keep cables neatly concealed, supports technical installations, and ensures sports facilities function properly.

More about subsurface infrastructure
A well-equipped sports venue consists of more than just fields, goals, benches, and fencing. The underlying and supporting facilities also need to be properly arranged. Think of cable management, drainage, sand containment, edge finishing, and technical facilities that contribute to a safe and practical layout.
We supply subsurface infrastructure for sports clubs, municipalities, contractors, schools, athletics clubs, and managers of sports venues. These facilities are often used for new build, renovation, expansion, or maintenance of sports parks and sports fields.
Cable distribution manholes are used to distribute cables and connections in a neat and accessible way. This is especially important at sports venues where lighting, scoreboards, installations, irrigation, or other technical facilities are present.
With a cable distribution manhole, the infrastructure remains better organized and accessible for management, maintenance, and any future expansions. This helps prevent cables from being concealed in an untidy or unsafe manner.
At sports parks, more and more technical facilities come together. Think of field lighting, electrical systems, data connections, irrigation systems, and other systems that contribute to the use of the venue. A good technical infrastructure helps manage these facilities safely and clearly.
Subsurface infrastructure ensures technical components are not left loose or messy in the space, but are processed in a fixed and practical way. This contributes to safety, ease of maintenance, and a well-kept appearance.
Sand trap elements are used at long jump pits to better capture sand and limit its spread around the long jump facility. This is especially relevant for athletics tracks and sports venues where long jump pits are used intensively.
By using sand trap elements, the area around the long jump pit remains cleaner and easier to manage. This can contribute to ease of maintenance, safety, and a neat finish of the sports facility.
Subsurface infrastructure is often included when building new or renovating sports venues. By taking it into account early in the project, cables, connections, and supporting components can be logically incorporated into the design.
Even at existing sports parks, subsurface infrastructure can be applied to better organize the venue, make it safer, or make it suitable for future expansions.
Good subsurface infrastructure makes managing a sports venue easier. Cables remain accessible, technical components are better organized, and sand or dirt can be captured more effectively. This prevents unnecessary disruption and makes maintenance more efficient.
For managers, contractors, and clubs, this is important because sports venues are often used intensively and the facilities must continue to function reliably.
The right subsurface infrastructure depends on the situation on site. With cable distribution manholes, cable routes, connection points, and future expansions play a role. With sand trap elements, it’s mainly about the position, finishing, and use of the long jump pit.
We’re happy to think along about the right application and installation. This way, the subsurface infrastructure fits well with the design, use, and maintenance of the sports venue.

Frequently asked questions
Below is an overview of some questions we are often asked. If you can’t find the answer, feel free to contact us.
Subsurface infrastructure includes supporting facilities that contribute to the technical, safe, and practical layout of sports venues. Think of cable distribution manholes and sand trap elements for long jump pits.
Cable distribution manholes are used to distribute cables and connections in a clear, safe, and accessible way. They are suitable for sports venues where, for example, electrical systems, lighting, installations, or other technical facilities are present.
Cable distribution manholes ensure that cables are neatly organized and remain accessible for maintenance or expansion. This contributes to safety, clarity, and a professional technical setup of the sports park.
Sand catch elements help to better capture sand around spring pits and limit its spread. As a result, the area around the spring facility stays cleaner, safer, and easier to maintain.
No, infrared provisions can be applied for both new builds and renovations. Existing sports facilities can also be improved with suitable solutions for cable management, sand capture, or technical support.
Infrared provisions are suitable for sports parks, athletics tracks, sports fields, schools, multi-purpose sports facilities, and other locations where technical provisions or sports-specific finishes are needed.
