    Turf Moor was one of the first grounds to have under-soil heating, and only until recently they still had a problem with part of ground getting waterlogged that was more to do with the drains outside the ground, but since we've been in the Premiership the quality of the pitch is fantastic 🤗💞😘

    So please tell me more about teh Permavoid System.

    • @acivilconversation18
      @acivilconversation18  2 года назад +1

      Sure thing, it's quite a nifty system which increases the available volume to store water underneath the pitch (compared to normal pitches as the void ratio is a lot higher). This not only allows water to drain from the pitch quicker but allows the water to be used for other purposes e.g. rainwater harvesting.
