ATHLETICS DRAINAGE TECHNICAL DETAILS
Technical product logic for straight channels, radius channels, covers, inspection chambers, sand trap channels and soft-head kerbs used around athletics tracks.
Radius Continuity
Curved channel sections follow the bend of the athletics track and reduce improvised cutting on site.
Straight Line Control
Straight channel bodies define the main drainage line along track straights and perimeter edges.
Flush Cover Options
Middle and top covers help keep the drainage line serviceable without disturbing the track edge detail.
Outlet and Sand Details
Inspection chambers and sand trap channels complete the line at outlet points and jump pit zones.
Applicable Standards
World Athletics
World Athletics (formerly IAAF) Track and Field Facility standards define the design and performance requirements for athletics track drainage installations. SFS Drain products are designed to meet these standard requirements.
DIN 18035
DIN 18035 (Sports Grounds — Outdoor Athletics Facilities) German standard includes specific requirements for sub-surface drainage and channel details in athletics facilities. SFS Drain channel geometry can be evaluated against this standard.
