#11 BOBCAT DRAINAGE CULVERT REPAIRED IN-HOUSE


On The Forest Country Club property, behind #11 Bobcat green is a large drainage vault that connects to the preserve off property.
 
Original galvanized drainage pipe rusted away from the concrete vault.
 
  
We were able to fix the failure in-house. We used a large 24" PVC pipe which is much stronger and more durable that the old original galvanized pipe. 


Hydraulic cement was applied to wrapped around the connections for a secure and tight fit to prevent leakage.
We're going to backfill and sod around the fault. Rip Rap on either side to prevent erosion.
 
Special thanks to Superintendent, Michael Chickrell and Assistant, Ed Matthews who completed the project.
