Technical intelligence
Practical guidance for people responsible for irrigation infrastructure at golf courses, sports sites and complex landscapes. These pages help a site ask better questions before it commits to repairs, upgrades or a new project.

Irrigation Reference Library
Clear metric reference tables built from checked manufacturer information. The library starts with the Rain Bird 752 nozzle chart and will expand across Rain Bird, Hunter and Toro without turning the site into a product catalogue.

Working across established irrigation systems
JK Irrigation works with the system that best suits the site, its existing infrastructure and the required outcome. The practical work is in the design, pipework, control strategy, commissioning and long-term support, not in promoting one manufacturer over another.
Rain Bird
JK Irrigation completed the Richmond Golf Club IC conversion, which is documented by Rain Bird and covered by Golf Business News. The project demonstrates control-system conversion, testing and handover within an operating golf course.
Hunter
At Bedford School, JK Irrigation designed and installed an automated Hunter system serving the cricket facilities. The project incorporated water storage, pumping, pipework and future expansion provision. Read the project coverage.
Toro
JK Irrigation's checked records also include Toro-based work at Bedford Golf Club and Swinley Forest. The public descriptions remain limited to the verified scope and approved imagery.

A useful starting point, not a remote diagnosis
Every system and site has its own history. These guides are intended to make early conversations more productive, not to replace site-specific assessment, design or professional advice.
