Irrigation Fixes and Projects

Throughout my time at Glendale, I have been fortunate to have the ability to do a lot of irrigation projects, specifically the 2018 bunker project, where I had to reroute irrigation around the new locations of bunkers. I had to do about 20 alterations, and I credit that project with pushing me to another level in my irrigation career. The most important thing that I learned in that project was patience. There were a lot of moving parts, and my irrigation was down stream of a lot of those moving parts.

  • New pump sled going into the skeleton of the new pump house

  • Repairing and simplifying the wash off area. Added a drain valve so the line can be winterized easily

  • Double barrel wash off station

  • Old pump sled minus the pumps

  • Old pumps

  • Pouring the concrete pad for the new pump house and pump station

  • Getting ready to demolish the concrete pad and remove the old wet well

  • Running new irrigation around the new bunkers on 12 green. Tough project because the new bunkers made sprinkler spacing difficult

  • Broken head, bunker washed out

  • Repaired head and fixed bunker

  • New wet well

  • Repairing the siphon pumps and getting the motor realigned

  • Main line repair

  • Fixing a wiring problem that was causing the tee to intermittently communicate

  • Another main line repair

  • putting the greens head next to the surround head during the 2018 bunker project

  • Powering a satellite with a generator because the power line was severed

  • Troubleshooting the series of pressure reducing valves that lead to the back 9

  • Main line repair before the ROMAC

  • Adding a drinking fountain and water bottle fill up station to the 4th tee box

  • Raising a greens head on the 18th green
