Principles of Subsoil Drainage MigrationFilter materialInstallation techniques70Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Choosing the right filter materialFilter material should bemade on the basis of type or sand that will surround itIf the drain is in a fine soil, filter should be a coarse river sand-NOT GRAVEL!71Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Migration of particlesSignificant amount of fines enter the surrounding soilTHIS moves fines into the pipeQuickly collapses the drain, often during first few waterings72Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Particle migration into coarser gravelsCommon mistakes:Surround pipe with coarse gravel or crushPea gravel ¼ - 3/8” often specifiedOverall, these gravels are too large!!73Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Filter material entering pipe	We are too worried about filter material entering the drain pipeIf gravel is used, smaller particles will migrate into the large pores74Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
When to use gravel filter material75Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Clean filter materialMake sure no fines in the filter materialUse HC of the filter material >100”/hr (sand withought fines)Misconception: Sand will not enter drain pipe except from above. Surface area of slots is less that 1% of pipe surface area.76Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Bridging factorIf gravel is too coarse, bridging factor will be too highUsing finer filter material prevents migration of particles from surrounding soil.77Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Diameter ratingWhen installing subsoil drains, in any situation other than USGA sand, use clean washed sand. NOT pea gravel, or any gravel with a D15 less than 1mm.  D15 means 15% of the filler is larger than the specified size, 85% spec.78Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Installing subsoil drainsCut into the area below the soil to be drainedMake sure sides are verticalAvoid subsoil contaminationProvide uniform slope79Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Installing subsoil drainsClean vertical trenches2” of sand at bottom of trenchEven slopeCorrect high/low points Lay slits on BOTTOM of trench*water enters pipe from the bottom80Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Installing subsoil drainsCover the pipe with filter sand 2” surrounding Firm down/light rollingUse commercial joints81Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Geofabrics: Never wrap pipes82Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Types of pipesFlexible slotted (agricultural)2-8” diameterCommonly used is 4” outer diameterSlot size varyThese pipes self-clean, depositing fines though the ridgesThis process will not block pipes83Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
Types of drain pipes84Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture.  Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000

  • 71. Choosing the right filter materialFilter material should bemade on the basis of type or sand that will surround itIf the drain is in a fine soil, filter should be a coarse river sand-NOT GRAVEL!71Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 72. Migration of particlesSignificant amount of fines enter the surrounding soilTHIS moves fines into the pipeQuickly collapses the drain, often during first few waterings72Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 73. Particle migration into coarser gravelsCommon mistakes:Surround pipe with coarse gravel or crushPea gravel ¼ - 3/8” often specifiedOverall, these gravels are too large!!73Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 74. Filter material entering pipe We are too worried about filter material entering the drain pipeIf gravel is used, smaller particles will migrate into the large pores74Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 75. When to use gravel filter material75Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 76. Clean filter materialMake sure no fines in the filter materialUse HC of the filter material >100”/hr (sand withought fines)Misconception: Sand will not enter drain pipe except from above. Surface area of slots is less that 1% of pipe surface area.76Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 77. Bridging factorIf gravel is too coarse, bridging factor will be too highUsing finer filter material prevents migration of particles from surrounding soil.77Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 78. Diameter ratingWhen installing subsoil drains, in any situation other than USGA sand, use clean washed sand. NOT pea gravel, or any gravel with a D15 less than 1mm. D15 means 15% of the filler is larger than the specified size, 85% spec.78Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
  • 79. Installing subsoil drainsCut into the area below the soil to be drainedMake sure sides are verticalAvoid subsoil contaminationProvide uniform slope79Practical Drainage for Sportsturf, Golf, and Horticulture. Keith McIntyre, Brent Jakobsen, Ann Arbor Press, 2000
