  1. Problem: surface ponding.Solution: surface or subsurface drainage

  2. Surface ditch w/side cast spoil. Can be used to remove surface ponding and/or lower water table.

  3. Surface ditch in organic soil for water table control.

  4. Proper drainage helps produce healthy uniform plant growth for maximum production.

  5. Concrete tile subsurface drainage system being install. Gaps between adjacent segments allows water entry.

  6. Clay tiles being installed as subsurface drainage system. Gaps between adjacent segments allows water entry. This is where the term “tile drainage” originated.

  7. Modern tile drainage systems use perforated plastic drainage pipe of various diameters. Continuous rolls speed installation.

  8. Mechanical trenches move rapidly through most all mineral soils. Safety requires proper identification, location, and flagging of utilities.

  9. Tiling machines excavate trench and install tile in one pass operation.

  10. Installed tile line, with filter sock, ready for trench backfill.

  11. End pipes of surface drains entering into outlet ditch. Steel used to prevent mechanical and burn damage associated with ditch maintenance.

  12. End pipes of tile drain system entering into outlet ditch. PVC pipes are used in cleanout of tile lines.

  13. Drainage system plans can assist in locating subsurface features.

  14. Water control structure can be used to regulate water table depth for oxidation control, denitrification, sub-irrigation, etc.

  15. Tile lines can be plugged by sediment, bacteria, etc. This is Iron Ochre.

  16. High pressure cleanout of tile line.

  17. Site before drainage put in.

  18. Site after drainage put in, main and one lateral visible.

  19. Aerial view of parallel tile system with outlet main.
