Spring ATART-UPS: A lO-point program ensures this service runs smoothly

摘要

"I rrigation systems are lifetime investments if they're installed and maintained properly," says Lynn Francis, sprinkler service manager, for Olympic Land-scape & Irrigation Co., Fife, Wash. "Just like cars - you have to maintain them." It's with that mind-set that the crews at Olympic start up irrigation systems in March. Five to six fully stocked sprinkler vans with two-men per truck perform 600-plus irrigation start-ups over the course of eight to 10 weeks. To ensure accuracy and customer satisfaction, the crews use a 10-point process and also look at the big picture, making recommendations for system upgrades. "First of all, our purpose is to have each client's system operating at its best potential," Francis explains. "So we begin by employing our standards of observation — we always use a scanning eye."
