Irritech Limited

Irritech Limited is an independent irrigation consultancy serving golf courses, sports turf and landscape projects across the UK, Europe and the Middle East. Its work centres on making irrigation systems more effective, efficient and sustainable, from reviewing an existing installation to planning and managing a completely new scheme.

The consultancy evaluates current irrigation performance, water sources and abstraction licences, and undertakes feasibility studies before design work begins. New or upgraded systems can include pipework layouts, sprinkler coverage, water-use and run-time calculations, product specifications and bills of materials prepared for tendering. Irritech also provides project management, including tender documentation, tender evaluation, site marking-out, progress monitoring, snagging and handover.

Borehole prognosis and water sourcing are a notable part of the service. The company provides indications of water availability, supports abstraction licence applications and renewals, and has worked on borehole drilling installations for golf courses, sports parks, landscape projects and football-related schemes. Its published examples include borehole depths from 40 to 140 metres and projects involving water storage, pumping and irrigation upgrades.

The consultancy also designs reservoirs and water-storage lakes, and supports agricultural and horticultural irrigation, including subsurface dripline systems for crops such as potatoes, soft fruit and salad crops. Its approach is focused on practical water management, with options including soil-moisture monitoring, weather stations, computer-based controls and efficient pumping arrangements. Clients are likely to include golf clubs, sports venues, landscape operators, estates and agricultural or horticultural businesses seeking informed, independent advice on irrigation and water resources.
