All the water in the above photos was from the underground
spring seeping up. Clearly we needed to come up with a solution.
After consulting with our engineer it was decided that the 1
meter deep, 450mm wide aggie trench should be significant to divert the water.
 |
| Trench Dug. |
 |
| Filled with water very quickly. |
 |
| We first put in a small later of 20mm stone, then a 100mm flexible aggie pipe with a geo sock. The trench was then filled with about 100mm of 20mm stone |
 |
| Just to be sure, we also put in 100mm PVC aggie pipe. Jodie's Dad did a huge amount of work cleaning our the trench and laying both aggie pipes. |
 |
| All installed and glued. The risers will be used when the house is finished and the landscaping is complete, and will be used to collect ground water. |
 |
| Back filled with 20mm stone |
 |
| Weed mat installed |
 |
| Covered back with soil, and inspected by Lara. |
