Question: | "We are interested in the most economical ways of improving drainage on three of our football fields in the near future, using the Trenchex system of slitting or other similar method. We would like your advice on this matter as regards cost per acre and method of machine operation." |
Answer/Response: | "I am afraid we cannot help you very much by correspondence on the most economical ways of improving drainage on three of your football fields. There are various forms of sand slitting which might be used in different circumstances and usually this kind of operation demands a good drainage system into which the slits are linked. We do not have any information on any drainage systems which you have. It is some years since we introduced the slitting technique into this country and in these years a number of people have gained experience with different approaches in different situations. I think the best way to get our help would be to have one of our specialist advisers across to discuss the situation with you on the site. It would obviously be most desirable for you to have available at the time of the visit any information you have in your files about existing drainage. Incidentally, costs of slit drainage can vary from about £450 to over £1,000 per acre." |
