New irrigation for club at centre of Scotland's golf coast
MJ Abbott secured the contract to install a new irrigation system at Gullane Golf Club following a tender and interview process. The irrigation design encompassing all 54 holes, and management of the tender process, was undertaken by Giles Wardle.
The scope of work included:
- 388m³ capacity underground sealwall precast concrete storage tank measuring 22 metres long x 6 metres wide. The storage tank was supplied via three boreholes.
- The pump station was designed and manufactured by MJ Abbott. Because of the height differences across the site, the pump station features 100m³/hr duty at standard pressure and 40m³/hr duty at a higher pressure.
- Installation of mainlines pipework and replacement irrigation to greens, greens approaches, fairways and tees within Course 1 and greens and tees within Courses 2 and 3.
- The system utilises Rain Bird irrigation equipment.
- The system includes Rain Bird Nimbus 2 control system and radio remote control.
MJ Abbott continues to service and maintain the system.
