Wee Burn Goes Rain Bird!

The prestigious Wee Burn Country Club in Darien, CT has chosen to use Rain Bird products and work with Atlantic on their proposed irrigation system.  This project will commence in late Summer of 2012 and will be installed by Leibold Irrigation.  The proposed system was designed by James Barrett Associates and features multiple rows of sprinklers resulting in what will be wall to wall coverage.  The system will be controlled by a Cirrus Central and 48 Par+Es Controllers, and will utilize both 900/950 and 700/751 sprinkers, as well as over 100 bunker zones of Rain Bird Spray Heads and Hunter MP Rotator Nozzles.  Also of note, Wee Burn will be installing Rain Bird's new Integrator Sensor System on three greens.  This is a huge project and  a monumental win for both Atlantic and Rain Bird.  Doug Drugo, the superintendent, hails from the famous Oakmont Country Club, near Pittsburgh, PA.  The new system will help Doug provide the members of Wee Burn with same notorious conditioning that Oakmont is famous for.  We are thrilled to be involved in this one!
