HC Athena Amsterdam

Hockey pitch with full water management system

For cooling and wetting the pitch we only use (storm)water that is stored in the Permavoid system caught during rain showers. There are no longer any puddles on the field, because stormwater drains directly into the BlueLay and Permavoid system. Stormwater is stored beneath the entire playing surface. The capillary system makes irrigation via the conventional method obsolete, resulting in savings on (drinking) water and a pitch that fits the cities' climate resiliency agenda.
