AirDrain Synthetic Grass Drainage at Northern Arizona University Synthetic Turf Recreational Field

AirField Systems teamed with Ayers Saint Gross Architects, CMX Sports Engineering and Valley Rain Construction to bring a 280,000 square foot synthetic turf playing field project to Northern Arizona University.  No need to excavate and displace 22 inches of earth only to replace it with costly shipped in gravel with AirField’s AirDrain geocell.

NAU enjoys 100% vertical drainage with air above and below the profile and year round playability and a consistent GMAX from the AirDrain without the cost, hassle and environmental impact of traditional construction, plus AirField and Valley Rain removed and recycled 800 pallets from the job site.
