Rain Bird Irrigation System Helps Bring New Life to Turf Grass on the National Mall in Washington, DC
Over the past nine years, the highly visible grass along the National Mall in Washington, D.C. has been under renovation. Running from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial, this newly restored 18-plus-acre national park now includes a state-of-the-art Rain Bird irrigation system to help it remain pristine year round. Rain Bird is proud to be part of this important project to restore and beautify our nation.
Azusa, CA, October 30, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Over the past nine years, the highly visible grass along the National Mall in Washington, D.C. has been under renovation to reverse the impact caused by up to 3,000 events and 33 million visitors per year. Running from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial, this newly restored 18-plus-acre national park now includes a state-of-the-art Rain Bird irrigation system to help it remain pristine year round. Rain Bird is proud to be part of this important project to restore and beautify our nation’s capital lawn.
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.
