The Hydrowick team was tasked with addressing surface moisture and standing water issues on a fairway and approach where a large portion of the landing area and hole is regularly saturated.  Our team at Hydrowick designed a layout using a header tile across the fairway to accommodate the Hydrowick capillary action where water is pulled from both directions surrounding the tile. By implementing this system, Hydrowick can be utilized going in all directions and the infrastructure is in place for future projects.  Pictured, is over 28,000 Sq. Ft of fairway that is now effectively drained by Hydrowick. Spacing between lines was 6.5 feet and installation took 12 hours.  

The Nest highlights the versatility the Hydrowick element offers as it has been used very effectively to follow low lying contours and “snake” around bends addressing all areas surrounding the Hydrowick element.  Pictured, you will see how Hydrowick has been applied throughout their course on several fairways to address all excess water. Installation time was 8 hours without any disruption to regular golf play. Photos taken spring 2022.

With this particular project, the Hydrowick team has been able to work with existing catch basins and tie into drainage infrastructure to further distribute the unwanted water. Our team was able to branch out Hydrowick from the catch basins to the surrounding areas to pull the water from high spots, low spots, and everything in-between into the basin. Pictured is the initial layout, installation, and cleanup after installing drainage into 3 catch basins on 2 different fairways. Total installation time was 6 hours. Photos taken spring 2022.

" At Beaconsfield GC we pride ourselves on the condition of the greens. As we strived for 12-month playability we required a drainage system that could manage the ever-changing climate. We wanted a product that could cope with the wettest of days but on the other hand not affect moisture levels during the hotter months. A method which wouldn’t over dry surfaces, up irrigation requirements and increase the demand on precious man hours. 6 years on and 18 greens completed, HYDROWICK drainage was 100% the best decision we made."
