Jin Ling doing his best imitation of Albert Einstein and Martin (Thumbs up).
Jin Ling, Mr. Happy, and Martin are starting irrigation on the 16th fairway.
The general procedure is to:
1.Cut the trenches using our 5-ton mini excavator.
2.Lay the pipe and cable.
3.Cut the pipe and make the connections for the sprinkler heads.
4.Wrap the cable around the swing joint where the sprinkler will be attached in the future.
5.Tape the swing joint to the marking stake.
6.Compact the trench using a compactor. First compacting the subgrade material, and then the topsoil layer. This compacting is done to ensure we don’t have the trenches settle, making ugly ruts through the finished fairway.
Then there are pressure tests to do once the pump station is in operation… flushing out the lines and then attaching sprinkler heads.
It’s why these guys are called The Irritation Team. You have a golf course all shaped, drainage in, and these guys come and rip everything up, sometimes flood your fairways during “flushing out” have to go back, dig up fairways to repair leaks…
...OH! The irritation :) ... Team.
