Heart Transplant!!

Today we received and installed our new irrigation pump station!  The pump station is the heart of the irrigation system. It draws water from our retention pond and displaces it throughout the golf courses  irrigation lines like veins.  Our old pump station was replaced because it was near its life expectancy of 30 years. Preventative maintenance is key, the irrigation system is arguably the most important part of golf course management during the season.



Raising the roof!



This project called for some heavy equipment. A crane helped with the process.  Preparations were made in previous days to free up the entire roof from our pumphouse building. After some final disconnections this morning we raise the roof! The roof was removed so that we could then take out the old pump station. As they say, out with the old in with the new! It took a few hours to precisely lineup and install new pump station in the old building. We completed the days work by lifting and placing the roof back into place!
