Follow on Google News | Rain Bird Irrigation Helps Bring New Life To Turf Grass On The National Mall in Washington DCBy: Rain Bird After evaluating the needs of the site and new turf, a water-efficient Rain Bird IC System with Stratus II software was installed. The IC system is ideal for large projects since it requires less wire and components to run the EAGLE 900 series rotors. The Eagle rotors were chosen due to their closed-case construction, self-flushing features, as well as the ability to water long distances. The system uses no above-ground equipment that could be susceptible to damage or vandalism while making installation and long-term maintenance easier and more cost effective. Utilizing exclusive Rain Bird technology, the Stratus II central control operates the IC system at the mall over a secure internet connection from a main office several miles away from the mall. For remote operation and diagnostics, the grounds crew uses the Rain Bird MI Series mobile controller for precision watering while on site. Other advanced Rain Bird technologies being employed at the mall to conserve water and resources include Smart Pump, Rain Watch and Smart Weather™ with a sophisticated weather station. All of these technologies are capable of making decisions that conserve water while providing the control needed to maintain healthy turf. Ultimately, the entire system is designed to increase water efficiency and decrease electricity usage and maintenance.
