Just another sinkhole repair.

A very small sinkhole is always a tell tale sign of a failing culvert.  We have fixed many of these in the past all over the golf course.  We use double walled pvc pipe that will last much longer, long enough we will never have to worry about replacing them again.

First step is to dig in the location of the sinkhole and find the pipe.

A bad section has been removed and we will connect to this steel culvert here.

Most of the bottom half of this culvert has deteriorated and is gone.

We always replace with double wall pvc drain. In this instance the pipe is 18 inch.

Connected the plastic to the steel with a poly seal coupler.

We are replacing the old steel culvert all the way to the catch basin.

We were able to slip the new pipe underneath the existing irrigation line.

Old culvert is taken to scrap yard and recycled.

Plywood sheets help us keep the fairway safe from damage during the project.

A view of the finished work.

We fixed another small sinkhole on the outlet side as well.
