| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses research being conducted at Loughborough University "to understand in detail the drainage behaviour [behavior] of pitches and to produce some design guidance to allow the true drainage behavior and properties of the pitch to be accounted for in planning and design assessment." Details the materials and methods used in the study, stating that "field monitoring is carried out by installing a rain gauge and a flow meter (designed by Loughborough University) at the pitch." Reports that "as the project is currently moving into the main experimental phase, preliminary results from the Loughborough University test pitch have shown that drainage discharge has been consistently less than anticipated." Concludes that "as the project enters its second year the project team are looking to collect as much information and experience as possible from industry." |
