Advanced Drainage Solutions

Water management is critical to padel court performance and longevity. Poor drainage leads to surface ponding, accelerated turf wear, infill contamination, and structural damage that can require costly repairs. Our drainage systems are engineered to handle the intense rainfall events common to the Dallas-Fort Worth area while maintaining rapid drying characteristics.

Surface drainage represents the first line of defense against water accumulation. Court surfaces are carefully graded with subtle slopes directing water toward collection points. These slopes are calibrated to provide drainage without affecting playability or creating noticeable grade changes during games.

Subsurface drainage systems remove water that penetrates the surface layer. Perforated pipe networks, aggregate drainage layers, and geotextile fabrics work together to capture and channel water away from the court structure. Proper subsurface drainage prevents waterlogging that compromises base stability and accelerates surface deterioration.

Perimeter drainage protects courts from runoff originating beyond court boundaries. Collection trenches, swales, and redirect drainage prevent surrounding landscape water from entering the court area. This boundary protection is especially important in Dallas clay soils that retain moisture.

Collection and discharge systems move captured water to appropriate outfall locations. Catch basins, drainage pipes, and discharge points are sized for peak flow events while preventing erosion or downstream flooding. Connection to municipal storm systems or on-site retention follows local regulations.

Maintenance access and cleanout provisions ensure drainage systems remain functional over time. Inspection ports, removable grates, and accessible connections allow periodic cleaning and service without major disruption.
