Sportag®

Sportag® hydraulic conductivity is 10 times that of some natural aggregates (Sportag® = 1.6 x 10-1 m/s), thanks to a void ratio of 40% between pellets

Advantages: Drainage rates vastly improved with Sportag®

Benefits: Facility will be available more often

Sportag® has a 30% moisture retention. This allows moisture to be released at a constant rate, 15L per m2 @ 100mm depth

Advantages: Allows for a more even and controlled release of water

Benefit: Healthier facilities

Sportag® 40% void ratio improves aeration compared to standard aggregate, allowing roots to penetrate to greater depths

Advantages: Stronger root systems

Benefits: A healthier more robust surface

Sportag® innate strength of 6.5N, means there is very little degradation over time. Making it a perfect bedding for pipeline (UPVC, concrete, clay or any other thermoplastics) as there is no settling over time

Advantages: A constant volume is achieved with no subsidence

Benefits: Very little long-term maintenance needed

Sportag® is half the weight of normal aggregates, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries. Its round nature and strength allows easy placement in even the most demanding of locations

Advantages: Quick and easy to install; no specialist knowledge or skills necessary

Benefits: Reduces labour costs and time. Will not damage maintenance machinery

Sportag® regular spherical shape, 6.5N strength, 40% void ration and moisture retention makes it perfect for all elements of a SuDS System

Including:
