The old drain had become clogged with dirt and clay and was no longer
picking up water. The new drain will be covered with a mesh
fabric that will prevent dirt from clogging the intake holes. |
Alex finds something humorous as he and Kevin (Kelly?) prepare the
new drain tile for installation. |
Preparing the new drain. |

Alex working on the junction "T" for the replacement drain. |
With the intake drains in place, it is a matter of setting them to the
proper depth and covering them up. Notice that the ends are
capped off to prevent material from getting into the drains |
Using a shovel to hold the drain in place, Alex heads to the tractor
to bring in a load of pea gravel. |
The drain is first covered with several inches of pea gravel.
This will prevent sand and dirt from infiltrating the drain and
closing off the intakes. |
Kevin and Kelly cover the drain with pea gravel. |
After being covered with several inches of pea gravel, new sand will
be brought in to bring the bunker back to its proper depth. |
