CORRODED WATER LEVEL CONTROL STRUCTURE, AT 17 POND, REPLACED WITH CORROSIVE RESISTANT STRUCTURE, LAST NOVEMBER

Last March we sleeved our galvanized metal irrigation wet well and intake pipe with a plastic composite material because our sodium chloride rich pond water (result of Hwy salt runoff from I-94) had corroded the metal away. Late last November, we replaced the corroded metal intake pipe, pond level control structure and exit pipe with a corrosive resistant plastic PVC Water Level Control Structure we purchased from Agri Drain Corp, out of Adair, Iowa  www.agridrain.com  You can see from the photos above how corroded the metal intake pipe was and what the new PVC Water Level Control Structure looks like, along with some of the methods we used to install it. Other than the backhoe, and its operator, Chuck Christoph of Christoph Excavting, this replacement operation was done all in-house. Great Job by Mark, John, Jim, Zac, Nick and Bryan!!
