Volleyball Court Drainage
The unique qualities of volleyball courts lend themselves to drainage challenges all their own.
Hydraway for Volleyball Courts
Generally, sports field drainage contractors are installing drainage systems underneath grass or turf fields. Hydraway is excellent for these applications but is also the perfect system to match the challenges of outdoor volleyball courts. Volleyball courts are, after all, often composed of sand, which presents a few unique drainage challenges like clogging.
One of the largest benefits of Hydraway drainage systems is that they are extremely resistant to clogging. Constructed with needle-punctured fabric that is thermally bonded to a molded polyethylene core, no other system blocks the intake of silt, dirt, and, of course, sand as well as Hydraway. Traditional perforated pipe systems will inevitably begin to fill with their surrounding material, facilitating standing water on the surface and erosion below. Hydraway, on the other hand, blocks soil and sand particles to keep your court intact.
Higher Inflow Rates
Clogging isn’t the only problem conventional perforated pipe systems suffer from. As a function of their design, they simply can’t take in as much water as is necessary to properly eliminate standing water or handle substantial weather events. While clogging stops water from moving through the system once it has already made its way inside, limited inflow rates mean there is always going to be water surrounding the pipe as it drains down from the surface.
Hydraway is different. Our system has industry-leading inflow rates while offering clog resistance other athletic field drainage systems could never match. When these two features are combined, you have a system that preserves sand volleyball courts and other surfaces from erosion and environmental factors that can degrade the ability of players to excel and play safely, damage the court itself, or both.
In the end, both of those factors come down to attendance and the money that comes with it. Ticket sales, concessions, and potentially even sponsorships could be at risk without the proper drainage system in place. Hydraway helps to protect the integrity of your volleyball court and the health of the players who compete on it. While Hydraway isn’t the only system that must be in place for you to have a functional facility, it can provide the peace of mind necessary to focus on running a successful facility.
