Golf Drainage by AirDrain for Agronomic Natural Grass and Putting Greens, Bunkers, Tee Boxes, and Fairways

What Golf Drainage works Better than Air? 100% Vertical Drainage, our agronomic natural grass drainage system works in any design with a sand based profile.

An Alternative to the Gravel Drainage Layer in USGA Spec Putting Greens

A research project conducted at Texas A&M concluded that you can greatly reduce your irrigation frequency and needs by up to 40% using AirField Systems Agronomic AirDrain Natural Grass Golf Drainage.

The five-year research project was jointly funded by the United States Golf Association and AirField Systems and was a collaborative effort between Texas A&M, AirField Systems and the United States Golf Association.

The data from the research showed that the AirField Systems golf drainage profile can provide up to three more days of plant-available water than a USGA recommended gravel and sand profile. AirDrain creates its own almost perfect perched water table. No special watering techniques are needed.

Here is the ASTM D4716 Flow Rate per Unit Width and Hydraulic Transmissivity Testing for actual drainage capacity, at an 1/2% slope. The AirDrain will actually drain 171 per hour.

No other product comes close!  http://bit.ly/2cQUREL

The ASTM D4716 was done with 2 metal plates top and bottom and the grid tilted at a 1/2% slope. This is the only way to be able to claim drainage per hour. Don’t letem kid ya ! If they don’t have this test ask them why?

In a cost value performance and ease of installation proposition no other product comes close! 

Proof of the airdrain putting green advantage.

AirDrain for putting greens and tee boxes



AIRDRAIN FOR PUTTING GREENS AND TEE BOXES

Imagine installing a putting green and only needing to worry about the sand profile no matter where in the world it’s built. A cookie cutter install with unbeatable performance cost and drainage. To good to be true you think ? Well it’s not, it’s really here and the bottom line this system works !

21st Century Golf Course Drainage with Superior Performance ! With AirDrain you can capture and reuse storm water and expensive irrigation. AirDrain delivers 100% vertical drainage under every inch of your project bringing an umatched vertical and horizontal drainage consistency across the entire project.

AirDrain allows water to drain more uniformly and is only limited by the profile above it and the exit drains.

Since 2002, AirField has never heard of a rain out or standing water on any of it’s installed projects. We keep your putting greens, tee boxes and bunkers playable, no other product even comes close to the cost value and performance. Period!

In addition, AirDrain by AirField Systems significantly saves on installation time because much less excavation is required compared to the traditional gravel drainage layers that have a much deeper profile.

AirDrain arrives on site in 53” trailers, palletized and ready for installation. Unlike gravel drainage, with AirDrain there is no need for heavy equipment that can harm your golf course.

AirDrain is the flexible solution for putting green, tee box, and bunker drainage.

A 5 year study conducted at Texas A&M University and jointly funded by AirField Systems and the United States Golf Association.

Showed that the AirDrain System provides up to 3 days of plant-available water beyond the USGA recommended gravel and sand profile.

AirDrain for bunkers


Before you build or renovate a bunker, READ BELOW! Don’t throw your hard earned money away. Choose the easiest and best draining bunker system install there is by far!

Click here to see the ASTM D4716 Flow Rate per Unit Width and Hydraulic Transmissivity Testing for actual drainage capacity, at a 1/2% slope. The AirDrain will actually drain 171 inches per hour. No other product comes close!

Cost value performance and ease of install it’s not even close!

AirDrain Bunkers and Sand Traps are:

  • Simple, Fast, and Easy to Install using existing employees to install at your own pace.
  • NO NEED TO REWORK YOUR CLOGGED HERRINGBONE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. Install over the top!
  • AirDrain replaces the traditional herringbone drainage system!
  • With AirDrain only the exit drain(s) are necessary.
  • The entire bunker floor acts as a drain using gravity to pull the water through the profile. THE FINES SHOULD NEVER CLOG THE SYSTEM! REMEMBER THE ENTIRE FLOOR IS A DRAIN USING GRAVITY!
  • Superior Bunker Drainage with our 1” high 92% air void, allowing water to move without obstruction to the exit drain(s).
  • Long lasting drainage solution. The AirDrain grid itself should retain its performance for 50+ years under a sand profile.
  • Minimal site disturbance with far less excavation and disposal for new bunker construction.

Airpave for grass paving and fire lanes


AirPave is a flexible porous paving and drainage system for grass pave fire lanes, reinforced turf paving, temporary parking and swales. With over 400+ installations across the country AirPave for grass pave has a strength of 233 psi unfilled, 6747 psi sand filled and is made of 100% recycled content which can contribute to LEED points.

AirPave always ships with enough fertilizer for 2 layers of the federal guaranteed analysis fertilizer needed. One for the sub base to be worked in before compaction and watered. And the other to be added on top of the sand filled grid and watered in before the turf grass is installed.

We believe if done properly it will set up the grass pave project for the best possible result.

AirPave grass pave can ship more than 91,000 sqft. per truck load and 798 sqft. per pallet with each part weighing only 3.1 lbs. AirPave can save the owner up to $0.80 per square foot or more over our competitors.
