Irrigation Controls, Decoders and System Upgrades

Control-system work within the wider irrigation network

A controller upgrade can improve operation only if the field wiring, decoders, valves, communications, pumping and retained equipment are understood. JK Irrigation approaches the controls as part of the complete hydraulic and electrical system.

Work can range from a central-control PC or wall-mounted controller replacement to field-cable investigation, decoder changes, platform conversion and a phased upgrade across an existing course.

Recorded control work

JK Irrigation's records include central-control PC upgrades at Sherfield Oaks Golf Club and The Richmond Golf Club, plus wall-mounted controller upgrades and decoder replacement across a wider group of golf sites.

The portfolio also includes conversions to Hunter control systems. Exact controller and decoder platforms will be named only when the corresponding project record has been checked.

Independent evidence at Richmond

Rain Bird's published Richmond Golf Club case study identifies JK Irrigation as contractor for the club's whole-course Integrated Control conversion. The work retained the existing field wiring, converted the sprinkler control and included testing and handover on an operating golf course.

Upgrade routes

  • Central-control PC and software-platform changes
  • Wall-mounted controller replacement
  • Decoder and two-wire fault investigation
  • Field-cable renewal and reconfiguration
  • Controller or decoder platform conversion
  • Pump, transfer and level-control integration
  • Testing, station records and operating-team handover

Existing equipment is assessed before a route is chosen. A complete replacement is not assumed where retained infrastructure can remain useful and reliable.
