The AirDrain geocell can add valuable LEED points to any green roofing project with a unique design and 100% post-manufactured recycled content. Lightweight at only 3.1 pounds per 7 square feet, and rated at 33,552 psf, AirDrain is the ideal drainage medium for rooftop applications whether decorative or in constant use. Move water rapidly or capture it for retention, and know that no other product stacks and ships more compactly, reducing the number of trucks and the amount of fuel required to transport to the green roof job site.

Product Overview
Build a better green roof with AirDrain.
An AirField Systems AirDrain grid creates a GMAX that is consistent across the entire field. Some factors that might influence a change in GMAX would be an inconsistency of the infill or wear of the synthetic turf fibers. Unlike traditional shock pads or e-layers the AirField Systems AirDrain grid is 1″ high, extremely light weight at 3.1 lbs per 7 sqft., 233 psi (unfilled) and has a 92% air void. This unmatched vertical and lateral drainage all but eliminates standing water and moisture trapped on the rooftop.

Thru a research project conducted at Texas A&M, it was concluded that you can reduce your irrigation needs using AirField Systems AirDrain. The five year research project was jointly funded by the United States Golf Association and AirField Systems and was a collaborative effort between Texas A&M, AirField Systems and the United States Golf Association. The data from the research showed that the AirField Systems drainage profile provided between one to three more days of plant available water than a United States Golf Association recommended gravel and sand profile.
