J-Drain SWD

Composite Turf Drainage System

J-DRain SWD is a composite turf drainage system consisting of a 3-dimensional, high flow, drainage core and a non-woven, needle-punched filter fabric. The filter fabric is wrapped and bonded to the drainage core, preventing intrusion of the filter fabric into the flow channels during the backfilling process. Soil particles are held back by the filter fabric and water passes through to the drainage core allowing water to be collected and conveyed to the discharge point. Available in 6 inch. Roll lengths are 165 feet.

Golf Courses

Primary Benefits:

• The volume of water and the length of the time standing water is on the field is reduced.
• The turf has more favorable growing conditions because the roots do not remain saturated for an extended period of time.
• The turf becomes healthier and more resistant to damage from athletic activities, disease and weather.
• Athletic activities may be resumed after a shorter period of time without fear of damaging the turf.

• The volume of water and the length of the time standing water is on the field is reduced.
• Reduces amount of top soil being washed away.
• Activities may be resumed after a shorter period of time.

Synthetic Turf Fields

J-DRain SWD-12 provides a cost effective alternative to pipe and gravel under-drains when constructing synthetic turf playing fields. By replacing these under-drains, trench excavation costs are eliminated and the amount of gravel fill is greatly reduced. J-DRain SWD-12 is laid horizontally across the field at specified intervals (normally 10 to 15 ft.) and provides rapid drainage from the playing field (see figure 1).
