Due to the heavy clay profile the oval became waterlogged during the Winter periods, we installed 2.5kms of Subsurface drainage removing the clay via conveyor belt on our 1012 Masten Broek and replacing with aggregate encased around the drainage pipe and clean topsoil to fill out the trench, we were able to run the subsurface drains into their existing Turkeys nest harvesting the water to be reused watering the oval. This was another Project we worked closely with intercompany businesses to achieve a great outcome for the Shire of Katanning. Sub surface Water management was also the primary project management team for this job, coordinating all facets of the job from the Earthworks to drainage and irrigation right the way through to goal post and cricket wicket installation followed by a full turf maintenance program executed by our team.
We were involved in a larger scale project of rebuilding the oval at Ray Owen, we were working closely with Sports Turf Construction making time frames and communication important, this project involved a lot of hard rock digging with specialty rock teeth on our 2620 Masten Broek machine, we installed 6.5kms of Subsurface Drainage linked up to 225mm – 375mm collector pipes into concrete pits including concrete headwalls as designed. This was another Project we worked closely with intercompany businesses to achieve a great outcome for the City of Kalamunda
We were engaged by Highway Construction to trench and install 1.2kms of 100mm Subsurface Drainage and Rip Raps along the batters on the side of the new highway to alleviate the subsurface water pushing up from the sub-base under the road.
This was a challenging job as we had a specific time frame to complete, and the use of a specialized Rock cutting machine as the soil profile was predominantly a hard rock.
We are continuing to install Subsurface Drainage throughout the Southwest Wine Country helping to reduce Waterlogging and increase fruit growth, using our smaller 1012 Masten Broek machine we can fit between the existing fruit rows causing minimal disruption and damage to the area.
With our one pass laser guided 2520 Plow machine we Installed 2kms of Slotted Socked Draincoil throughout waterlogged areas of the Grain Farm, this will increase crop yield within the first year of planting in these areas
Jean Garvey Oval was experiencing extensive flooding on the Oval during the Winter period, we installed over 3.5kms of 100mm & 160mm of Subsurface Drainage encased in Aggregate and finished with Topsoil as per specific design, this not only helped with the flooding but also increased the grass root structure strength and health. This was another Project we worked closely with intercompany businesses to achieve a great outcome for the City of Gosnells.
This land was experiencing Waterlogging and Salt Scouring, we installed 7 hectares of Subsurface Drainage encased with aggregate with our 2520 Masten Broek Plow, this improved crop yield by 2.5 tonnes per hectare of Canola in the first year, with a return on investment in 2 years.
