Site Water Drainage Composites. Available in roll lengths of 150'.

J-DRain SWD provides a simple solution to the many complex drainage problems that occur on golf courses. The narrow cross-section allows for J-Drain SWD to be installed without significantly disrupting the natural turf (see figure 1). In many cases the playing area can be returned to play the same day. This provides an excellent method for installing drainage in greens, fairways, tees and bunkers. Trenches should be dug perpendicular to slope so that they intercept surface run-off as well as drain water from the turf and root zone.

Design Schemes:



There are many design variables when preparing a layout for the various problem areas on golf courses. There variables include: slope of surface, length and width of area, type of soils, proper backfill, collector locations, discharge points, rainfall intensity and many others. Several design schemes are shown below.

Use J-DRain SWD for:
> Highway edge drain
> Natural turf athletic fields
> Synthetic turf athletic fields
> Golf course greens, tees, fairways and bunkers;
> Landscape around buildings and home sites
> Sidewalk edge drains

The primary benefits of J-DRain SWD for golf course drainage:
> The volume of water and the length of the time standing water is on the field is reduced.
> The turf has more favorable growing conditions because the roots do not remain saturated for an extended period of time.
> The turf becomes healthier and more resistant to damage from athletic activities, disease and weather.
> Athletic activities may be resumed after a shorter period of time without fear of damaging the turf.



J-DRain SWD is a composite turf drainage system consisting of a 3-dimensional, high flow, drainage core and a non-woven, needle-punched filter fabric. The filter fabric is wrapped and bonded to the drainage core, preventing intrusion of the filter fabric into the flow channels during the backfilling process. Soil particles are held back by the filter fabric and water passes through to the drainage core allowing water to be collected and conveyed to the discharge point.
