It was very important for the club to understand the practicalities of having a contractor on site in terms of access, health and safety
designated tip areas. The dumpers are fitted with low ground pressure tyres to minimise the impact on fine turf sward.
As the trench was formed, perforated land drainage pipe was introduced and placed on the graded bed. Having checked that no spoil had fallen on to the drainpipe, 6- 10mm aggregate was metered in to the trench utilising a bespoke backfilling hopper. This self propelled machine runs on low ground pressure tyres that help to minimise compaction and wear on the fine turf grass areas. The aggregate was then covered in a grit-blinding layer and topped to the surface with a 70:30 sand soil rootzone. Care was taken to ensure that materials used for the construction of the drains met industry standards as laid down by the LDCA and published recommendations for backfill materials.
Lateral drains were connected to
larger diameter main drains constructed to the same specification as above. The mains system removes drainage water to a positive discharge, such as existing ditches or streams or, if not possible, to soakaways. Head Greenkeeper, Marcus Oakley,
said, “As one of the premier golf courses in the north of England, Moor Allerton is making a substantial investment into improving its already revered 27 hole course. As part of the overall development we decided to improve the drainage of the course. The first phase of works was completed in September 2007 and has been a complete success. We are particularly impressed with the professional approach which White Horse adopted with regard to keeping members informed and by paying exceptional attention to leaving our course clean and tidy with minimal disturbance. We look forward to working with them on the next phases of this project.”
