Bear Course Irrigation Leaks






We have had several leaks in the past week on the Bear Course.  Four to be exact.  There were two 2" lines leaking.  One on #1 and one on the range tee.  Both were due to faulty welds.  The other two were at #5 tee.  Both were 8" main lines.  One leak was due to a faulty weld in the pipe.  The other was due to a failure in the pipe itself.  Fortunately, due to a fantastic staff, these issues are behind us now.  Jeff and Orlando made short work of them on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Here you can see Orlando cleaning the pipe before installing the fix on hole #1.


This is beside 5 tee at the cart path.  This was one of the 8" main line leaks.


This is the leak from above.  


This is the repair clamp for the leak above.


Above and below is the second 8" main line leak on #5.  Jeff and Orlando make up a large part of a small team.  There hard work and dedication is very much appreciated!!


Below is another look at just how big the hole had to be to repair the leak at 5 tee.  The second hole, which is behind the tee, is actually quite larger.
