Golf course modular bunker paver blocks

摘要

A golf course bunker drainage system has been developed that is a modular structure taking the form of a plurality of porous bunker paver blocks formed of material exhibiting vertical and horizontal infiltration rates at least the same as bunker sand. The plurality of porous bunker paver blocks is disposed as a boundary layer between a bunker subsoil bottom surface and overlying bunker sand, allowing rainwater to drain into the subsoil, with excess rainwater directed away from the bunker sand. The use of bunker paver blocks also maintains the integrity of the bunker shape and prevents movement of sand and other materials along steeply sloping bunker sidewalls.

1. A golf course sand bunker drainage system comprising
a plurality of porous bunker paver blocks, each block formed of material exhibiting vertical and horizontal infiltration rates equivalent to bunker sand, the plurality of porous bunker paver blocks disposed as a boundary layer between a bunker subsoil bottom surface and overlying bunker sand, wherein selected porous bunker paver blocks are formed to exhibit a textured top surface of serrated configuration for supporting and stabilizing an accumulated amount of bunker sand; and a plurality of microchannels formed at edges where paver blocks abut one another and providing additional paths for drainage of rain from the golf course sand bunker.
