Drainage Plate System Using G-CORE
A clean, fast and sustainable foundation for high-performance drainage systems
A modular, free-draining drainage layer for sports fields, artificial turf systems, landscaping and engineered surface applications.
G-CORE creates a stable, load-spreading, high-performance drainage layer that helps manage water efficiently, reduce reliance on traditional drainage aggregates and support long-term surface performance
Designed for modern landscaping and construction projects across the UK and worldwide.
Typical Drainage Plate System Build Up
A visual concept showing how G-CORE works as a drainage layer beneath the finished surface.
Improves water movement below the surface while reducing the need for deep aggregate drainage layers.
Suitable for sports field drainage, landscaping schemes and design-led terrace or podium applications.
Why Choose G-CORE?
A single modular drainage plate system delivering performance, speed, and sustainability across sports, landscaping, and civil groundwork applications.
Advanced Drainage Performance
Allows water to move freely through the system and away from the finished surface.
Load-Spreading Structure
Helps maintain stability while supporting surface loads in active-use areas.
Reduced Aggregate Requirement
Minimises the need for deep stone drainage layers and heavy imported materials.
Cleaner Installation
Less spoil, less mess, and fewer heavy materials moving around site.
Modular Drainage Plate System
Click-together panels form a continuous, engineered drainage layer.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for sports fields, artificial turf, landscaping, terraces and podium concepts.
Why the Drainage Layer Matters
Surface performance depends on what happens below. If water cannot move away efficiently, the result can be waterlogging, saturated ground, reduced usability, and long-term instability beneath the surface.
Traditional drainage methods often rely on deep stone layers and heavy bulk fill. G-CORE offers a more controlled modular alternative by forming a precision-engineered drainage plate system with built-in void space for water movement.
Surface Water Build-Up
Poor drainage can reduce usability and affect the long-term condition of the finished surface.
Ground Saturation
Excess moisture below the surface can weaken performance and create soft or unstable areas.
Heavy Traditional Drainage Builds
Deep drainage stone layers increase excavation, deliveries, labour, and site disruption.
How G-CORE Works?
The G-CORE system forms a rigid, free-draining layer that sits between the prepared ground and the finished surface. The result is a stable, high-performance drainage solution that manages water efficiently while reducing the need for traditional aggregate systems.
1
Prepare the ground
Level and prepare the formation to suit the project falls and drainage design.
2
Click panels together
Lay G-CORE panels in rows, locking them together to create a continuous drainage layer.
3
Connect drainage pathways
Incorporate drainage pathways, outlets, or service routes where needed to support effective water movement through the system.
4
Add your finished surface
Apply the final surface such as artificial turf, sports field systems or landscaping finishes directly over the drainage layer.
Where G-CORE Drainage Plates Can Be Used
Designed for applications where reliable drainage, structural support, and cleaner installation matter.
Sports Fields & Pitches
Supports sports field drainage by helping keep surfaces drier, more usable and more consistent.
Commercial Landscaping
Suitable for public realm and commercial schemes where surface water management is a priority.
Artificial Turf Installations
Ideal below synthetic turf systems where efficient drainage and stable support are essential.
School & Leisure Areas
Helps manage drainage beneath high-use external surfaces.
Technical Benefits
High-performance drainage
Creates a continuous free-draining layer that allows water to move efficiently beneath the surface.
Stable load support
Forms a rigid, load-spreading structure that maintains surface stability under foot traffic and light loads.
Adaptable system design
Compatible with membranes, sports turf systems and project-specific surface finishes.
Reduced aggregate requirement
Minimises the need for traditional stone drainage layers, reducing material usage and site disruption.
