Pipe Installation

This weekend TDI started work on installing the pipe that runs across the Driving Range.  This pipe is in place to carry the water the flows over the spillway from the pond on #9, and dumps it out into the woods on the opposite side of the range.  This water eventually winds its way down the left side of #8, into the lake in front of #3 green.  The old pipe is a metal, 30 inch corrugated pipe that was installed when the course was first built in 1989.  The original pipe has reached its useful life of approximately 20-30 years and is in need of repair.  When planning the Dredging project it was determined that one of the fundamental flaws of the driving range for the long term was this metal 30 inch pipe, so it was included to be replaced.  At the end of the work day Sunday, 200 of the 575 feet of new 30 inch plastic pipe had been installed.  If no rain is to fall in the next week they should be near completion of this part of the driving range project by next weekend.  Notice in the photos how deep the pipe is in the ground, this pipe is half as deep as the original pipe that will be removed!
