Ensuring a smooth drive at Belton Park Golf Club

摘要

The 27-hole, 250 acre course at Belton Park Golf Club in Lincolnshire is irrigated from a 12 million gallon reservoir, with three pumps feeding up to 500 sprinklers on the fairway, greens and tees. When the control panel failed, however, the system had to be operated manually. The system maintains a constant pressure of nine bar as the water exits the pump house, ensuring there is sufficient pressure to feed however many sections of the course are being watered at a time. But, maintaining this pressure by hand was so difficult that staff had to fit a safety valve to release water into one of the course ponds in case the pressure rose too far.
