Unlike a typical field drainage pipe, Hydraway protects your investment in athletic fields with a drainage solution that is highly effective, whether it has natural or synthetic turf, and helps ensure the field doesn’t negatively impact the quality of play you expect.
Hydraway Drainage systems are a superior solution that allows water to flow away from your facilities, landscaping, retaining walls, or anything else you want to maintain, regardless of the underlying soil type.
A Hydraway Waterproofing System keeps basements or crawl spaces dry. It’s as simple as that. Our system has a higher inflow rate than pipe systems, allowing trapped water to escape, reducing hydrostatic pressure, and keeping water away from your foundation.
Hydraway Drainage System has been manufactured for over 30 years. It was originally invented for highway edge drains, and has since been installed in a variety of applications including athletic fields, golf courses, venting applications, lagoons, and tens of thousands of homes each year. Hydraway is American made near St. Louis and is shipped and installed worldwide.
As one of the longest running and most prevalent synthetic turf designers in the Chicago area, we are familiar will all brands of flat drains. In addition, we also utilize flatdrains for natural grass drainage. We are very impressed with the Hydraway product line for both synthetic turf and natural grass drainage applications. We have found it to possess much better drainage parameters AND to be much more economical than other flatdrain products.
The reason we use Hydraway can be summed up in two words, strength and permeability. When we use Hydraway under our fields, we know that we are using a material that has superior compression strength combined with higher permeability and water flow rates than other products we have used in the past.
For several years, we have specified Hydraway products as part of the subsurface drainage design under natural and synthetic athletic fields, utilizing both horizontal and vertical applications. We could not be more pleased with the high quality and performance of the products.
The high in-flow and high compressive strengths make Hydraway the ideal drainage solution. This quality product backed by superior customer service makes it easy to give Hydraway Drainage Systems our repeat business.
The existing 4″ perforated pipe drainage system had previously failed. The contractor had to remove 17,000 feet of failed system before construction. It was decided that Hydraway 12” be install horizontally to maximize the best drainage given the location within the country as it gets micro burst rain events. The design was completed in-house by Hydraway. It was decided that we would put the drainage system on 13’ spacing and 7’ spacing in the tarp drop area.
