Satellite Upgrades

Clock_Install2_edited.jpg

Golf Irrigation Consultants (GIC) has installed over 1000 irrigation satellites on 18 golf courses in California, Florida, Hawaii and Mexico. We have poured new cement pads and replaced satellites onto existing pads. This is one part of our "Turn-Key" services.

 

As a licensed C-27 Landscape Contractor, we can handle the entire control system upgrade. When a client uses GIC, they always get the owners on site and in the trenches to perform the work. We are conscientious about or clients property, staff and clientele.

GIC is the only irrigation consulting and contracting company that can perform all of the work associated with a control system replacement or upgrade. GIC has installed new satellites in the middle of summer. There is never more than 24 hours of downtime and when needed, we have a process that entails installing new satellites on new cement pads the same day. The client is able to irrigate on the same day. Once on site GIC takes the time to assist staff with troubleshooting irrigation wiring or other problems at no additional charge. In 20 years GIC has never issued a change order.
