North Staffs Irrigation has recently completed a challenging irrigation installation at one of the countries most luxurious leisure retreats.
£2million has been spent restoring the 18-hole championship golf course at Bovey Castle in Dartmoor National Park since it was purchased by entrepreneur developer Peter de Savary.
Under the direction of irrigation consultants IrriPlan, North Staffs began work on site in late February. A Logic Aquarius 2400 controller, Tonick decoders and Hunter sprinklers were installed to provide water to the greens, tees and two fairways at the wooded parkland course.
The system also extends to the course’s practice greens and tees as well as the castle’s lawn, putting green, croquet lawn and tennis court.
Director Martin Hinchliffe said: “This has certainly been one of the most challenging contracts we’ve worked on. The course is built on granite so we had to use a 13-tonne excavator to install the pipework. We’re thrilled to have played our part in the course’s restoration.”
