Country Club Drainage Before and After
Preventing Water Damage: Our Drainage Solution for A Local Country Club
When heavy rains began infiltrating the gym at a local country club in Rancho Santa Fe, causing damage to the wood floor, we were asked to implement a long-term solution. Here’s how we tackled the problem and protected the club’s facilities:
Scope of Work
1. Comprehensive Drainage Around the Building
• Precision Concrete Removal: We began by saw cutting 72 feet of concrete (6 inches wide) along the building, including sidewalks. This included the removal of a section of concrete near 2 large doors to accommodate waterproofing and drainage installation.• Foundation Waterproofing: Once the concrete was removed, we applied Mulasticoat, a latex acrylic water-based coating that forms an elastomeric waterproof membrane, to the building's foundation to create a waterproof barrier.
• Advanced Drainage Installation: We installed an NDS 5-inch Pro Series Channel Drain (Model 864), and carefully caulked on both sides of the channel drain for optimal sealing.
• Concrete Restoration: Post installation, we poured new concrete in San Diego Buff color with a TopCast finish to seamlessly match the existing concrete.
• Strategic Drainpipe Placement: A 20-foot long 3-inch SDR-35 drainpipe was connected to the channel drain to direct water into the landscaping on the south side. This drainpipe terminated in a riprap outlet for erosion control. An additional 30-foot long 3-inch SDR-35 drainpipe with a stub-out was left for future expansion and efficient water discharge.
All trenches were backfilled, and disturbed grass was carefully reinstalled for a polished look. Root-Ban Drain Pipe Adhesive was used to prevent root infiltration, ensuring long-term reliability.
