FITTINGS:

AWD offers a complete line of fittings that transition collected water to standard PVC pipes.
The Problem

Natural turf athletic fields need drainage systems to evacuate water quickly, allowing more time on the playing field and eliminating soft soil conditions that can cause injuries and damage the turf.
 
Pipe and stone drains require large quantities of aggregate. Transportation of materials,  equipment requirements and the labor required to unload and spread materials are costly. Additional costs are incurred removing high volumes of excavated soils from the site.

The Solution

Better Drainage - Half the Cost
 
- Reduced excavation space -  Limited site disturbance
- No heavy equipment required - Easy to handle & install
- Lightweight materials - Reduced Transportation Cost
- High percentage open area for water collection 
       EXCLEDRAIN 70% vs. Perforated Pipe 3%
- No select backfill required for vertical installations
 

EXCELDRAIN Strip Drain is a cost effective, sustainable and highly effiecient alternative to costly pipe and stone drainage systems.  The three-dimensional molded core is fully wrapped with a geotextile filter fabric.  The fabric retains soil particles while allowing water to freely enter the drainage core.  The high percentage of recycled content provides a green and sustainable solution for long term drainage performance. 
INSTALLATION METHODS:
 
 
EXISTING FIELDS - VERTICAL Installation:  EXCELDRAIN Strip Drain is installed in narrow trenches at spaced intervals to maximize the surface area contact with the soil below and limit site disturbance to the existing field.  Designed to collect and transport water quickly & efficiently to designated exits. 
 
 
NEW FIELDS - HORIZONTAL Installation:  Strip drains can be installed horizontally under aggregate to prevent sub-base disturbance and enhance flow and drainage performance under synthetic or natural turf.
