Autoflow Irrigation
has completed many projects including
school sports fields and
playgrounds across
Sydney,
acreage properties, and
residential properties in the
Hills District of Sydney.
The installation of an irrigation system at your school provides a much safer learning environment courtesy of a healthier thick turf that will soften any falls or graze injuries from diving and sliding. Most systems are run off rainwater tanks collecting water off a nearby roof, and are also topped up with a mains water supply when the tank is running low. We always install
smart watering systems that adjust the watering schedules based on recent and forecast weather, reducing run times during cooler weather, and increasing run times during warmer weather. It also prevents watering when rain is forecast, not just after it has rained.
We have installed irrigation systems at
Baulkham Hills High School -Rugby League/Soccer Field,
Blacktown Boys High School -Two Sports fields,
Parramatta Marist -Rugby League field,
Fairfield Patrician Brothers -Multi use sports fields,
Knox Grammar Preparatory School Wahroonga -Two Soccer/Rugby/Cricket fields,
Girraween Public School -Playground areas,
South Coogee Public School -Playground area,
Hilltop Road Public School Merrylands- Four playground areas.
Parramatta Marist High School.
This field is trained on by the Parramatta Juniors so a quick turnaround was required. The field had to be usable within a short time frame. Our turf cutter was used to remove the turf from each row of sprinklers and mainline prior to installation. We were then able to trench, install our pipes and sprinklers and carefully back fill the soil so so the turf would match up to the existing turf again. Once the turf was re-instated we would roll it and give it a good soak. It didn't miss a beat and our clients were very happy with the results. We used the existing tank and pump to re-install a new system to replace the very outdated hydraulic system that was there. Coverage issues were also overcome by installing 35 Rainbird 6504 sprinklers spaced around 15-16m apart. We also upgraded the existing controller for their second field linking them both to the one controller, and then allowing the fields to have the benefits of a flow sensor, weather station, and Smartlink aircard for online control and monitoring.
Patrician Brothers Fairfield.
It started as a Quick Coupler Valve (QCV) system for manual watering of the turf and turned into a major project with over 100 Rainbird 6504 sprinklers being installed on their multi purpose sports field where cricket, rugby league and soccer are played. Over 400m of 63mm mainline was installed, fed by a 58,000L rainwater tank and a pumped sized to deliver the quantity of water required in a short time frame. This was a decoder system with a flow sensor, weather station, and Smartlink aircard for online control and monitoring.
Knox Preparatory School, Wahroonga
Two separate systems were installed at Knox Prep school on their fields. A cricket pitch is in the middle of both fields, and they are used for soccer and rugby during Winter. Both have their own Rainbird ESP-me controllers with LNK module to use the school's wifi for internet control. Rainbird 6504 Stainless Steel sprinklers were used throughout. The school's full time greenkeepers are now able to spend their time on other tasks whilst having a beautiful lush field for the students.
