Project summary

Drainage improvement to wet fairways

MJ Abbott secured the contract to install primary drainage within Holes 1, 3, 4, 5, 15, 16 and 17.

The scope of work comprised:

Installation of 800 linear metres of 160mm diameter perforated main drains outfalling into existing ponds.
Installation of 3,100 linear metres of 80mm diameter perforated lateral drains within fairway areas. The lateral drains were spaced between 5 metres and 8 metres centres depending on the ground conditions.

Both the standard of the work and the care taken by MJ Abbott throughout the entire drainage operation were exceptional.
