Nowhere to take the water – Drainage Siphons may be your answer


Drainage Siphons can be indispensable on difficult properties. Park Meadows C.C. in Park City, UT hired TDA to design a drainage system to help them handle the spring snow melt that plagued their golf course. The Turf Drain Siphon System that was installed throughout the golf course was ideal for the flat property. John Haynes, CGCS, superintendent at Park Meadows, says, “The system really was amazing. The amount of water we removed was much greater and faster than I had expected.”

The Turf Drain Siphon System is typically used in flat coastal properties, like Seminole Golf Club, where the elevation across the property is minimal, but it can also be used in mountain properties where rocky soils present difficulties grading pipe. The system can be installed on the flattest of properties and solves that problem of “nowhere to take the water.”

…as long as the relief point is as deep as the depth that the seepage water needs to be collected, you can install a system that will work.
