Draincore2 drainage layer

Super Bowl Played on Draincore2

February 3rd, 2008 saw the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots at the University of Phoenix Stadium. The turf system at the stadium has Draincore2 as the drainage layer.

The cross-section of the turf consists of 12 inches of a sand/ fiber mixture, geotextile fabric, and Draincore2. The special section is also placed on a removable tray system that can be wheeled in and out of the stadium.

Subsurface Conveyance & Greenroof Drainage Layer

Description:

 

Draincore2 conveyance layer is used for advanced subsurface and greenroof applications. A replacement for antiquated French drains.

Draincore2 is a high volume drainage layer capable of withstanding heavy loads in direct contact. This drainage core is wrapped in a geotextile fabric, which allows water to enter from any direction, with the rings placed vertically or horizontally. Water can flow between rings in either vertical or lateral directions simultaneously. Flow volumes can be matched with multiple layer configurations Draincore2 can distribute water at 42 gallons per minute per foot width, twice the conveyance rate of a pipe and gravel system.
