Extend existing clients irrigation system in Canterbury including adding a Hunter weather sensor
TCR were called in by an existing client to extend their irrigation system, which TCR installed some years ago.
The remit was to add pop up sprinklers to an additional lawn area and overhaul and update the control system.
Hunter 4” Pro sprays were installed in the lawn. The existing controller was upgraded to 2 x Hunter ICC 2 controllers, to facilitate the additional stations, along with a Hunter Solar Sync Sensor. The sensor is an advanced weather sensor that calculates and adjusts Hunter controllers daily, based upon onsite weather conditions. It measures the sunlight and temperature and uses this to determine the correct seasonal adjustment percentage value to send to the controller.
Part of a large landscaping project, TCR are in the process of installing an intricate sprinkler solution to a complex sloped lawn. The sprinklers of choice for the lawn on this project are Hunter Pro sprays and Rain Bird 5004’s.
The trees and specimens are irrigated separately, with tree necklaces, which consist of mdpe pipe on the surface with emitters, which deliver the water to root zone.
TCR Watering have recently completed the installation of a small drip and microspray system in Richmond, Surrey, all ready for the Spring. The needs of the client was to water flower borders, hedges and specimen trees.
Microsprays have been used in the borders and on a separate station, dripline for the hedges and specimen trees. Using drip line for tree irrigation can provide the required amount of water over a much longer time period than hand watering, reducing run-off and ensuring that the water penetrates more deeply into the soil structure to minimise surface level rooting. Dripline watering for hedges, dripline with close spacing ensures even watering down the entire length of the hedge.
TCR have recently installed irrigation to a Woodland Garden, due to open to the public in the spring.
The irrigation consists of micro sprinklers to numerous beds and dripline in the beds adjacent to the house walls. We have also installed a pump set that can accommodate additional manual watering points in other areas of the garden.
TCR are pleased to start a new installation in Virginia Waters. Where water comes from a borehole into a storage tank and uses popup sprinklers on the lawns and inside the mature rhododendron bushes.
The system will be fully automated and controlled via a remote weather station and also giving notification if there is a burst or stations not coming on.
TCR Watering are proud to be called back to add additional irrigation to a large prestigious residential site in North London.
The original installation was over 4 separate lawn areas on one site. This is a large site and a tank and submersible pump were installed along with a Hunter Control system to manage each area.
Our client has moved into a new property and is looking to transform his garden, with the help of an automated irrigation system.
The system will incorporate a buried tank with automatic top up (complying to water regulations), with pop up sprinklers to the lawn areas. The controller will be linked via Wi Fi to a remote weather station. This enables the water application to be altered according to the changes in weather, which encourages correct plant growth and saves water.
TCR have been asked by a client if it was possible to add some sprinklers onto their existing garden irrigation system.
The 40M x 2.5M strip of lawn is a long narrow turf area which will use the 4” Rain Bird 1800’s pop up sprinklers which will have Hunter MP Rotator nozzles installed. One extra valve box has to be installed and connected onto the existing system. This enables the new installation to be controlled using the existing controller.
• Qualified staff install your system
• No sub-contracting
• The right machines for the right results
By only using our own staff, and using the correct equipment, we endeavor to install a garden watering system for you, so when we are finished you won’t be able to see we have been there.
TCR recently quoted for a small residential garden that required irrigation to the lawn and flower beds.
This had to be on a budget that suited the pockets of the client. After a site visit and some negotiations, we decided to use the perimeter fencing to secure the sprinklers above ground. This allowed for the pipework to run at the very rear of the beds, surface mounted and out of sight. The pipework will be clipped and secured to stop any movement.
This design of the sprinkler positions was helped by the uniform shape of the garden. This helped to ensure an even distribution of water over the flower beds and the lawn area.
The client was so happy with the price and design, that they requested extra Micro Spays to irrigate some more individual areas around the rear of their dwelling. This extra request was added to the quote without any trouble. The extra Micro Sprays adds an extra station/zone and a change in Valve Box so everything would still distribute from the chosen location.
Here we have a picture of a typical valve box/valve pit, pre-installation. The mains water pipework comes in and is distributed via the manifold to the three stations. Each station is controlled by the irrigation controller, which gives each station independent and full control to the user. In this instance the valve box/valve pit has been set up to control beds and sprinklers. The pipework in the beds also has pressure regulators fitted inline, to ensure the pressure to the beds is not too high and has the correct controlled amount.
