Permavoid

A tile, cellular crate, raft system acting as a drainage layer, as well as for water storage, which allows for passive irrigation to take place. Rootzone material is installed on top of the raft; a 200mm depth instead of a 300mm depth on high profile sand pitch constructions can significantly reduce quantities required, yet still provide for suitable playing conditions. Liverpool FC new pitch construction in 2017 was the first in the UK to utilise the Permavoid raft system. In 2021 the major clubs of Leeds Utd FC and Leicester City FC also had their pitches fully reconstructed and a new Permavoid system installed.
