Fairway Irrigation Design is pleased to offer a complete line of irrigation design services. All the services are completed “in-house”; assuring every project receives personal attention.


Whether you have a new or existing project, our firm can design an irrigation system to fit your needs.  We pride ourselves on developing practical systems designs which are both easy to operate and easy to maintain.  We can assess your watering requirements and develop a system with the proper pumping capacity, pressure, and watering window you need to accomplish your irrigation goals.

An initial design on paper only creates the general concept and framework of how the irrigation system will work.  The field staking and layout on the actual project site are critical to the success of a project. 

Qualified persons are needed to make the system design framework operate in the field.  No amount of planning on paper can anticipate every contour or obstacle on a golf course.  This is why we personally lay out our projects.  We will locate your system equipment in the field. By doing this we can react, adjust and account for any particular situation that may be presented. GPS technology allows us the ability to produce very accurate drawings of the layout for construction.

Throughout the construction minor changes may occur during the installation process.  We require the contractor to note any changes from the as-staked plans and submit them to us.  At the end of a project we will compile the as-constructed notes and create a record drawing.  This drawing shall be in the form of a CD-ROM with reproducible files that show irrigation components: mechanical, electrical, and station sequencing.  This is one of the most valuable services offered by our firm because the persons maintaining the system in the future will need to refer to a record of what has been installed.

We take much care in the process of selecting the right irrigation equipment, placing it effectively in the field and recording its location.  This attention to detail will create an effective irrigation system. However, the tool that makes an effective system into a conserving, cost saving system is the computer program.  Often overlooked, this is one of the most critical components to your investment. 

The irrigation control programs now offered are very powerful turf management tools that can save the operator water, power, and much wear-and-tear on equipment.  These systems must be programmed carefully to insure the irrigation is not overtaxed or under utilized.  We can configure your system to run at its optimum.  We have had training in many of the industry's computer irrigation programs.  Our firm has programmers with level 4C certification from the Rain Bird Company to program their Maxi V central control system.  It is the highest level and there are less than two dozens individuals in the United States with this certification. Our firm was on the forefront of Rain Bird’s development of graphical based mapped irrigation systems. We programmed an installed the first Rain Bird Cirrus program configured outside of their factory and installed on a project site. We also work closely with the Toro Company on their programs and have offered advice to their software development teams.

If you have an existing system and are exploring the possibility of a system renovation this service could help you.  We can develop a complete and detailed analysis regarding the effectiveness of your system including: sprinklers, controllers, piping, computer and water resources.  Then we will submit a written report with recommendations and corrective measures for your specific situation.

Much of the advancement in the irrigation industry in the past ten years comes in the arena of pumping technology.  Many improvements have been made with the assimilation of computers into pump stations.  Stations are now pumping more efficiently and accurately than ever before.  This can translate into reduced electrical charges and can save on your equipment wear.  We can make an evaluation of your existing pump station, water sources, power and water usage.  Then we will submit a written report with recommendations and corrective measures for your specific situation.
