AirDrain What drains better than Air Playground Drainage for Synthetic Turf Not all drainage is created equal AirDrain offers 100 vertical drainage and has 92 air void This combination effectively collects and redirects water easily Additionally AirDrain raises the entire profile a full 1 letting gravity drain the entire playground quickly and efficiently The combined effect of AirDrain is a more stable surface area reduced expenses for repairs and more play time A drainage system should allow for water to quickly drain away from the surface and be directed to exit drains thus allowing a shorter turnaround time for the continuation of play AirDrain provides drainage which is unmatched in the industry up to 40gpm sf allowing the surface to be free of water AirDrain is only limited by the drainage capacity of the profile above and the capacity of the exit drains For playgrounds constructed with AirDrain the grid is installed on top of a 1 125 or 2 125 poly green foam pad which is placed directly onto the properly prepared subbase of concrete asphalt or compacted aggregate This creates a 1 air void and allows for maximum drainage Benefits of an AirDrain playground drainage system include AirDrain raises the entire profile 1 off the subbase and brings gravity into play AirDrain s 92 air void space allows for fast and easy water removal Consistent HIC and Gmax for the life of the AirDrain provides a safe play area AirDrain is a 100 recycled copolymer which has the impact modifier metallocene added to it for qualification as a No Break plastic making it able to withstand extreme heat and cold and still maintain performance AirDrain s quick snap connectors allows for effortless installation Minimal site disturbance excavation and disposal Compact shipping reduces transportation costs This drawing specifications and the information contained herein is for general presentation purposes only All final drawings and layouts should be determined by a licensed engineer s HIC Gmax testing are measured in a lab setting and are not site specific

AirDrain Drainage ASTM D4716 Synthetic Grass and Natural Grass Testing What drains better than air If your field floats has ponding or infill migration which is an extreme player safety and owner liability issue and you can t figure out why maybe because they said it would drain XX amount per hour and in reality it doesn t and never will Those issues don t get better they get worse Countless hours in maintenance and grooming adding materials etc etc what s the cost of that every month In a Cost Value Performance scenario no product comes close to AirDrain Over the years many architects and engineers have asked us just how fast will the AirDrain grid drain Our reply has always been that the AirDrain is only limited by what is above it and the exit drains Due to the fact that the area of an AirDrain part is 1 inch high and has a 92 air void Recently our AirDrain grid was tested using the ASTM D 4716 Hydraulic Transmissivity Standard Test Method The testing was done using plates on top and bottom of the AirDrain part setting them to the required slope and adding water from one end down the slope AirDrain was draining so fast they had to modify their testing equipment to accommodate the volume of water AirDrain could move As it turns out there is practically no resistance to drainage using the AirDrain grid The most important factor to consider is the percentage of slope that the AirDrain is sitting on To put this in perspective of rainfall AirDrain can handle anything that Mother Nature throws at it On a nearly completely flat surface 1 2 of 1 slope AirDrain will drain 2 85 inches of rainfall in one minute For example it could rain over 171 inches in an hour and AirDrain could drain it AirDrain can hold 576 gallons of water per sqft if needed until it can evacuate to the perimeter exit drains AirDrain has been used in specs and projects where the city or county has limited the water that can be introduced into the sewer system or has limited the size or volume of the exit drains on a roof top AirDrain s capability to hold water 576 gallons of water per sqft in the grid until the exit drains can evacuate it is another plus for the AirDrain System No other product on the market comes close to AirDrain s ability to drain a project it s not even close So when you see the claims of manufacturers rainfall per hour drainage ask them if they have the test that really shows a products drainage capability Now you know AirDrain Nothing drains better than air
