Golf Course Drainage from
Shelton
Traditional golf course drainage techniques
have tended to be quite cost prohibitive, especially for the
greens. The price tag for reconstructing a single golf green
to USGA specification can be in the region of £25,000.
In order to address this concern, Shelton has developed two
machines capable of draining a golf green with minimal disturbance,
at a fraction of the rebuilding cost.
This particular range has been developed
to cause the least possible damage to the green itself, enabling
play to resume almost immediately afterwards. Shelton specialises
in manufacturing machinery for golf green drainage, which
is available for world wide distribution.
The first of these is the single leg Shelton
Gravel Band Drainer. The machine installs narrow bands of
gravel, or Lytag®, at depths from 100mm to 350mm. Ground conditions
must be moist for the machine to work effectively, so this
work is usually carried out during the winter months.

The second machine we offer is the Shelton
System 25™, which installs bands of gravel, or Lytag®,
from 200mm to 450mm deep using a wheeled trencher coupled
to a vibrating backfilling hopper. 25mm land drainage pipe can also be installed in a one-pass operation. Ground conditions must
be dry or only slightly moist for this machine to operate
efficiently.

Under the Shelton system, golf greens can
now be drained at a fraction of the cost of a complete reconstruction.
