INTEGRATED CONTROL SPRINKLER HEADS NOW BEING INSTALLED

The installation is rolling now with mainline done and 13 greens sprinklers and lateral pipe installed. ISI uses a machine called a vibratory plow to install the 2" HDPE pipe and Integrated Control System wire without the need for an open trench. This method is the least disruptive to the turf. The majority of the lateral piping in the fairways, tees and around the greens will be installed using this method.



After the sprinkler and pipe locations and are marked holes are dug. Notice the soil is placed on tarps. 




The IC wire is fed through a trough in the blade. As the pipe is      
pulled through the ground the wire is laid on top of it.
No stress is placed on the wire.




The vibratory plow travels on plywood to prevent turf damage around the
greens.




Pipe and wire being plowed. Corbin feeds the wire in the through the trough.




Turf disturbance is minimal.





The installed sprinklers have a temporary bar code on the surface. The bar code is then scanned and the
individual sprinkler head information can be uploaded at the central computer.
