Installation of new irrigation system to The Valley Gardens

The Crown Estate, Windsor

Project summary

New irrigation system for Grade I listed historic gardens on the edge of Windsor Great Park

MJ Abbott secured the contract to install a new irrigation system at the Valley Gardens in Windsor Great Park following a tender and interview process. The irrigation design and tender process was undertaken by irrigation consultants H3O.

The scope of work included the installation of mainlines pipework and manual watering hydrants within the Heather and Valley Gardens. The gardens remained open so appropriate procedures were put in place to manage the risk of working alongside the general public.

Due to the sensitive nature of the surroundings, the quality of reinstatement was key to the success of this challenging project.

The entire project was installed over two separate phases.
