Drainage - 4th Green

Today we started a relatively small drainage project on Murrayfield's 4th green.

I am sure you have seen and had to play around the water that collects on the rear section of this green after heavy rain.

To combat this flooding we have installed a 50 mm diameter perforated pipe and a surface drainage grate, which will channel the water away from the putting surface.

Checking the levels before installing pipe-work

Pipe-work installed and drainage gravel being added

Re-turfing almost completed

 The project should be completed tomorrow morning, ahead of the forecasted rain…
