WE FORGOT TO IRRIGATE THE TREES!
High Desert Trees…….a true story!
The Client: Special Needs-Care Facility located in the high desert.
Transcripts of Phone Call:
Frantic Project Manager: “Mark..you have to help us, we have a problem! We forgot to irrigate the trees!”
mark@AtomicIrrigation.com: “Say what?”
Frantic Project Manager: “The irrigation plan we had for some years now, and just implemented, did not show any tree irrigation. Now we are concerned that in a draught condition we will only be allowed to irrigate trees (and not the remaining landscape).”
mark@AtomicIrrigation.com: “So now you want to supplement the existing irrigation system with separate tree circuits (like it should have been done in the first place?”
Frantic Project Manager: “yes, but we cant run control wires to the controller because we don’t want to dig up the turf/landscape we just planted.”
mark@AtomicIrrigation.com: “Ill get back to you with a solution.”
Problem
- Extend existing irrigation system to newly planted trees.
- Must not exceed water demand of existing system while operating tree irrigation. Provide ability to water five trees at once.
- No ability to bury control wires to existing irrigation controller.
Solution
Atomic Irrigation extended the existing irrigation system with the following:
- Designed tree irrigation circuits around a solar powered irrigation controller. (No control wires!)
- Utilized the sister product; a wireless handheld device that can operate up to 99 solar powered valves.
- Designed new tree irrigation circuits to not exceed available water.
Atomic Irrigation designed and delivered this (modified) irrigation system that achieved these requirements on time and on budget!
