I need to replace the trickle tube running through the dam of my pond. The old one had rusted out and eroded out a big hole in the dam so the previous owner had about 1/3 of it dug up and just refilled the hold. I have found some heavy duty plastic pipe to use but need as I am told to come up with a seep collar. Most trickle tubes I am familiar with were metal and had the seep collar welded on. That obviously wont work here. Anybody have an idea on material to use and how to seal the seam between the collarn and the tube. I will be using 18 inch pipe. I do have access to mini excavator to dig out trench. Thanks in advance.

I put a 6" pvc one in about 20 years back on a small farm pond. I made the seep collars out of concrete. It seemed to work. It seems like I got how to build it in-fo from SCS.

Hi Doug
I usually pour a concrete collar. It will also help to cut slots or key the trench to help seal the pipe behind the collar.

I = collar
H = slot / key
- = trench

Why not form the collar in two halves, out of steel? Put the bottom part in first; set the culvert pipe in place; bolt the top half to the bottom half. Fabricate it reasonably well so that everything fits up within 1/4 inch or so. Seal the joints around the pipe and between the two halves with mastic or silicone caulk or any number of similar materials. Consider using concrete downstream of the collar to help avoid putting stress on the plastic pipe.

Take a look at what these guys did and do something similar. (There's was a steel culvert, but the same idea should work.)

Dats BIG!
In Maine we usually use 8-10" pipe. For a seep collar in the dam we'll take a piece of tarp or sheet rubber with a hole for the pipe and duct tape it to the pipe. After a couple years of compaction it doesn't matter any more. Figure the seep collar is only for while the ground is settling.

Of course the crowd on that page is building ponds for a whole different purpose.

Dad and I have built alot of ponds in Maine and I find it interesting how in other places they do it different ways. Particularly I find the use of a spillway interesting because nobody in Maine has them for very long. Ponds with spillways are ponds that wash out... In Maine, people in the mid-west seem to have no problems. I wonder why.
