Gravel banding at Otaraua

We've been gravel banding at Otaraua Park for Kapiti Coast District Council recently, following on from the installation of primary drains last summer.

Gravel banding is a secondary drainage system that allows water to percolate down into the primary drains, vastly improving the field's drainage and performance.

Over winter we upgraded our gravel bander, fitting a new axle and turf tyres, meaning less ground pressure and compaction on the field, especially when the hopper is full of backfilling material.
