Among the biggest projects any turf manager may undertake will be a new irrigation system. While many shy away from playing an active role in the system’s design, Ashley Wilkinson explains why and how you should help in planning for such a large construction project. This 90-minute webinar in our ASCS Prep series simplifies the components that all managers should evaluate. Key areas discussed include basic hydraulics, various design styles, and system control options. Wilkinson also reviews choices in piping systems and pump station options. You gain both tips and confidence to make informed decisions for the long-term protection of your facility.
