Land Drainage Contractors Association

The LDCA publishes technical specifications for field drainage schemes and pipeline reinstatement drainage, and guidelines for sportsturf drainage installation, which set out the quality of workmanship and materials to be used in drainage and water management schemes.

These standards are recognised by industry bodies and the LDCA sportsturf guidelines have been adopted by Sport England and the Football Foundation as the standard to which funded sportsturf drainage schemes must be carried out.
