Turfdrain drainage geocomposite consists a dimpled plastic core which is completely wrapped in a highly permeable geotextile filter fabric. It is specifically designed to replace traditional methods used for creating drainage channels which utilise perforated pipe and filter stone. The outer textile wrap ensure that fines cannot enter the core preventing the system from clogging.

Turfdrain provides high performance drainage capacity with an outer surface that is totally permeable allowing water to freely enter the Turfdrain.

ABG Turfdrain drainage geocomposite is slim but provides effective sports pitch drainage

Turfdrain is just 25mm wide and can easily be installed in trench just 35mm wide. This results in less disturbance of the playing surface than encountered with laying pipes and gravel and also less materials to remove from the facility. The slit trenches are backfi lled with sharp sand and provide long-term drainage performance. This narrow trench installation technique also means that the playing surface can be put back into use immediately after installation.
