Effective surface water management is crucial for ensuring that sports facilities like Cozenton Sports Centre remain accessible and safe, especially in areas prone to heavy rainfall. To address these challenges, Cozenton Sports Centre has used BG-Graspointner, a leader in surface water management solutions. Known for its innovative drainage systems, BG-Graspointner designs and implements sustainable water management infrastructure that prevents flooding, minimizes waterlogging, and supports the longevity of outdoor sports surfaces.

Their involvement at Cozenton has helped create a well-drained environment that can withstand the elements, ensuring that athletes and community members can enjoy the sports centre year-round without disruptions caused by surface water accumulation.
