Reliable drainage for sports fields and athletic tracks
Efficient drainage is essential for safe and sustainable sports infrastructure. Surface water must be drained quickly and in a controlled manner to prevent water accumulation, slipperiness, and damage to the subsoil.
Deschacht offers a specialized range of Hauraton drainage channels for sports fields, athletics tracks, and multifunctional sports areas.
Sportfix drainage channels: discrete drainage along sports infrastructure
SPORTFIX drainage channels from Hauraton are specifically designed for the drainage of stadiums, sports fields, and athletic tracks.
They ensure fast and reliable surface drainage without disturbing the sports surface. Thanks to their discrete design, they are ideal for integration into both straight and curved sections of athletic tracks.
The channels are made of recycled polypropylene (PP), which guarantees high durability and resistance to intensive use and environmental influences.
Benefits of Sportfix drainage channels
- perfect connection to the track surface thanks to KTL coating
- simple opening with EPDM insert after placement of the top layer
- possibility of single or double-sided drainage
- low-maintenance due to integrated access points (dirt traps)
- compatible with aluminum rub rail or PVC walkway marking
- meets World Athletics guidelines
- resistant to frost, UV radiation, de-icing salts, and corrosion
Sportfix accessories for sports infrastructure:
Sportfix silt trap
The Sportfix sand trap ensures controlled sand collection at long jump and throwing areas. This prevents sand from spreading to the running track or surrounding pavement.
Key benefits:
- low-maintenance and easy to clean
- made from durable Recyfix material
- resistant to frost, UV radiation, de-icing salts, and corrosion
- available in single and double width
- meets World Athletics guidelines
Sportfix edging stones
Sportfix edging stones form a safe and clear separation between sports zones, such as between the long jump pit and the running track.
Thanks to the rubber top and internal cushioning, they reduce the risk of injuries for athletes.
Key benefits:
- shock-absorbing EPDM top layer
- made from sustainable FASERFIX (fiber-reinforced concrete)
- available in various heights and versions
- Available in black or white to match the design
Choose the right Hauraton drainage channel
Besides load, water discharge (flow rate) is also a determining factor, influenced by factors such as surface area and slope, rainfall intensity, and type of paving. Use our online calculation tool to quickly determine the correct drainage channel for your application.
Recyfix pro: drainage channels for artificial turf pitches and sports infrastructure
Recyfix pro drainage channels are specially developed for draining artificial turf fields and sports zones. The system ensures reliable rainwater drainage while simultaneously fixing the edges of the artificial turf. Thanks to the GUGI mesh grating, the turf is firmly clamped in place without the need for additional tensioning.
This solution is suitable for various applications such as sports fields, athletic tracks, recreational areas, and school sports facilities.
The channel is made of recycled polypropylene (PP), which provides a lightweight, robust, and durable system that is easy to transport and install.
The benefits of Recyfix Pro drainage channels
- specifically designed for artificial turf pitches, including turf fixation
- resistant to frost, UV radiation, de-icing salts, and corrosion
- smooth inner wall for optimal hydraulic performance
- compatible with FIBRETEC design grating or GUGI mesh grating
- easy installation, also in curved paths thanks to tongue and groove system
- integrated corner elements for extra stability and safety
- selection of the correct drainage channel
- sizing and design
- integration in total water management

Remediation of microplastics around sports fields
Sportfix Clean: Drainage and Microplastic Filtration on Artificial Turf Fields
Sportfix Clean is an advanced drainage system for synthetic turf fields that combines rainwater drainage and water purification. In addition to efficient drainage, it is essential to retain microplastics—derived from infill and wear of artificial turf. Without filtering, these particles end up in the soil, surface water, or sewage system.
Sportfix Clean offers an integrated solution for this, featuring an innovative filter substrate that effectively captures microplastics and fine particles.
Advanced filtering with CARBOTEC filter substrate
The system uses a CARBOTEC filter medium that can filter even very fine particles down to 0.45 µm.
This natural, inorganic filter material ensures reliable purification of stormwater runoff and contributes to the sustainable design of sports infrastructure.
Advanced filtering with CARBOTEC filter substrate
- combination of drainage and filtration in a single system
- effective capture of microplastics and infill material
- purification efficiency of more than 95% with correct sizing
- Proven filtration performance of over 97%
- large filter surface area for high absorption capacity
- long maintenance intervals (cleaning every 3 to 5 years)
- sustainable solution for eco-conscious sports projects
- also applicable in combination with hockey and synthetic turf fields
