A typical primary drainage system consists of a network of lateral drains which carry water to a main drain and away from the pitch.

They can be installed on an existing pitch out of season, causing little disruption to the playing schedule and minimal damage to the playing field.  Once a pitch becomes waterlogged in winter it can take months before it is playable again.

We use trenchers to excavate 25 - 160 mm wide trenches.  The trencher collects the spoil, lays the pipeline and tops the trench up with gravel.  If required we can lay drains with specific falls, by using a laser which is attached to the trencher.
