Water capacity
600000 litres

Hercles Almelo installed the Permavoid 85Sport system in three compartiments under the field. The system captures rainwater as it falls and makes it capillarily available to the natural grass with a total capacity of 600m3 water.

Heracles Almelo did not only make the transition to natural grass but also to do so in the most optimal and sustainable matter. For this reason they chose to install the Permavoid system in combination with Rainup Pro sensors. To provide complete control over water and air under the field, ensuring optimal growth conditions for the natural grass pitch.

By using Rainup Pro sensor technology wich measures both the soil moisture percentage and the amount of water present in the Peramvoid 85Sport system, combined with the necessary control technology, it is possible to manage water where needed. This proactive management guarantees the continuation of matches and optimal conditions for natural grass.
