problem: surface ponding. solution: surface or subsurface drainage
TRANSCRIPT
Concrete tile subsurface drainage system being install. Gaps between adjacent segments allows water entry.
Clay tiles being installed as subsurface drainage system. Gaps between adjacent segments allows water entry. This is where the term “tile drainage” originated.
Modern tile drainage systems use perforated plastic drainage pipe of various diameters. Continuous rolls speed installation.
Mechanical trenches move rapidly through most all mineral soils. Safety requires proper identification, location, and flagging of utilities.
End pipes of surface drains entering into outlet ditch. Steel used to prevent mechanical and burn damage associated with ditch maintenance.
End pipes of tile drain system entering into outlet ditch. PVC pipes are used in cleanout of tile lines.
Water control structure can be used to regulate water table depth for oxidation control, denitrification, sub-irrigation, etc.
