Instructor: Ted Moriarty A successful installation or renovation project depends on determining the best and most feasible course of action to take. This requires making decisions in the field regarding three key elements – sprinkler pressure, spacing, and flow based on the manufacturer’s specifications. This leads to good distribution uniformity and therefore conserving water while keeping the plants healthy. This class will address the fundamental hydraulic principles supporting these three important elements, with an emphasis on spacing and nozzling. Part 1 of the class will focus on choosing the proper nozzles and spacing given existing site conditions that may require “out of the box” solutions. Part 2 will address difficult areas which need to be irrigated with the goal mitigating water waste, such as overspray. New techniques using different approaches for mixing and matching different irrigation equipment will be covered.

The scientific principles of connecting PVC pipe and fittings using solvent cement to make a robust and long-lasting solvent welded joint is often over simplified. The results of ignoring the science can create significant problems for the property owner and the irrigation management company. The good news is that the science of making a proper solvent weld joint is very understandable. It is also easy for irrigation installers to apply the science to create good solvent welding habits. The course will shed light on the how and why solvent cement works, the scientific requirements to have it work the best, the effects of pipe and fitting dimensions and tolerances, the specific ways to use cements and primers correctly, and the results of a properly made PVC joint.

Instructor: Brian Vinchesi Learning Objectives:

• Develop a better understanding of “why” professional designed systems are different than design/build irrigation systems.
• Identify key areas that will impact the amount of time and materials required to successfully build these projects.

Who should attend?  Irrigation contractors, business owners, site managers or any irrigation installation staff that work on or bid professionally designed and managed irrigation system installations.

Leading an irrigation contracting business has never been more challenging. From HR complications to cost and availability of materials to changing codes and regulations, a business leader must constantly strike the balance of both managing the business and doing the business. This panel discussion will focus on the pulse of operating a landscape irrigation business today with an eye on strategy for managing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The panel will include Jim Huston (J.R. Huston Consulting), Ted Rightmire (CEO, Hindsite Software), Aaron Knepp (Conserva Irrigation of Columbus) and Chris Pine (IrriTech Training).
