Hydraway® Subsurface Drainage Systems

Field performance starts below the surface. Hydraway® subsurface drainage systems by Sportsfield Specialties are engineered to rapidly collect and remove excess water from athletic fields, helping maintain safe, playable conditions even after heavy rain. By allowing water to enter from all sides and move efficiently through the system, Hydraway® helps eliminate standing water and reduces downtime for games and practices.

Built with a high-strength HDPE core bonded to a clog-resistant geotextile fabric, the system is designed to handle high flow rates while preventing soil intrusion. This allows for consistent drainage performance over time, protecting both natural grass and synthetic turf surfaces from saturation, compaction, and long-term damage.

Hydraway® is widely used across football fields, baseball fields, soccer pitches, and other athletic venues where fast drainage is critical to field safety and usability. By efficiently channeling water away from the root zone or base layers, the system helps preserve surface integrity and reduces the risk of cancellations due to poor field conditions.

For a complete drainage solution, subsurface systems like Hydraway® can be paired with ACO Sport® surface drainage systems to manage water both above and below the field. While Hydraway® handles water beneath the surface, surface drainage systems capture runoff at the field level, creating a coordinated approach that improves overall water management across the entire facility.

By combining subsurface and surface drainage strategies, facilities can maintain better field conditions, extend the life of their playing surfaces, and ensure a safer, more consistent experience for athletes.
