Sports drainage for stadiums and sporting facilities

Large-scale stadiums, track and field facilities, local sports centres and recreational grounds require sports ground drainage to effectively remove surface water from playing surfaces and pedestrian zones.

The sports drainage systems specified will be determined by the type of application area and the individual requirements of the sports facility. Occasionally, cable management systems and drainage channels for on-site  car parks  will also need to be considered within the overall design.

Cable management for sport grounds

An important aspect for sports infrastructure is the organisation of cables and wires. The increased use of modern technology for multi-media communications and TV broadcasts is creating demands for safe, secure and discrete use of power cable networks. 

The key to a cable management system is having the flexibility to cope with changing requirements for different events, such as an athletic competition to a festival or concert.  

SERVICE CHANNELS from HAURATON enable safe, secure and practical routing of power supplies, whilst maintaining constant and convenient access to key connections and sockets by distribution chambers.
