Installation below the surface
Much of an irrigation system is below ground or housed away from the playing surface. JK Irrigation installs pipework, water-transfer equipment, pump buildings, bases and footings together with the hydraulic, electrical and control connections required by the agreed scope.
Mole-plough installation
Mole ploughing is one method available for underground routes. Suitability depends on route, soil, ground conditions, known services, drainage, pipe or cable requirements and the connections needed at each end.
Mobilisation, plant access, material preparation, routes, exposed connection points, testing and reinstatement responsibilities are agreed before work starts.
Checked records include work at Shirley Park, The Addington, Redlibbets, Warley Park, Bedford School, Bedford Golf Club, Billingbear Park, Mid Kent, Westerham, Woldingham and Edenbridge Cricket Club. The work varies by site and is not presented as a claim that each location used the same method or specification.
Buildings, bases and footings
Pumps, tanks and controls need suitable foundations, protection, access and service space. JK Irrigation's scope can include equipment buildings, bases and structural footings where they form part of the water-system work.
Checked records include relevant work at Brampton Park, Ansty Golf Centre, St Dunstan's College, Sherfield Oaks, Westerham, Woldingham, Warley Park, Bicester and Dartford. Project-specific dimensions and arrangements remain held until the relevant records and approved imagery are ready.
Course development and grow-in
Routes, connection points and testing need to follow the wider construction sequence so completed areas can enter grow-in without leaving avoidable conflicts for later phases.
Recorded examples include new-hole irrigation at The Addington and Cruden Bay, course-wide greens irrigation at Mid Kent, tee-construction involvement at Westerham, Woldingham and West Herts, and grow-in work at Warley Park.

Connected pumping, controls and distribution
Pump duty, manifolds, power, control panels, level controls, transfer arrangements, pipe routes, ventilation, drainage and maintenance access all influence the final installation. JK Irrigation combines construction, hydraulic installation and in-house electrical capability, supported by company-owned specialist plant, utility vehicles and a service fleet.

Plan the work
The proposed route and method are reviewed against known services, access, operations, ground conditions and other contractors. Useful starting information includes a site plan, proposed route, known services, existing water system and access constraints.
