This winter it became apparent that the large underground culvert that runs beneath 10 fairway had deteriorated to the point where it was no longer functioning. The flow of water had been diverted out of the pipe and had created its own underground tunnel outside of the bounds of the original culvert. Upon excavation it was found that the entire length of the bottom of the culvert was missing and had rusted away over the decades. It was time for action to be taken.
The project went very well, and took only a week to complete. The following pictures illustrate some of the work we did.
