WINTER PREPARATION PART 3

Drainage Tile Repair

Here at #18 green we began mapping our tile network at this site.  We had no knowledge of the exact location of the drainage exits other than the fact we had 2 catch basins in the general area.  Using the drainage camera we exposed a section of the drain tile at the front of the green approach and discovered damaged pipe along the exit line.  During construction the irrigation contractor had dug through the drain tile while installing the main line and never repaired the damage upon backfilling.  This helped explain why this area of the rough was always wet during rain or drainage events.  Note the orange "plug" in the drain tile that leads away from the covered green.  This was put in place to stop the water draining from the green from filling the excated hole.  (We had recieved 3/4" rain the day before)

After repairing the drain line we also added a vent access port to the drainage network at the back left of the green in the collar
