Odessa Country Club: Irrigation As-Built

The problem

An irrigation as-built is only worth anything if it matches the ground. After enough seasons of repairs and additions, the paper drifts: heads move, new ones get added, old ones quietly die, and the plan stops telling the truth. So when the crew needs to find one to fix coverage or scope a renovation, they’re digging on a hunch.

How we find them

Heads sit flush with the turf and hide easily from above, so we let them give themselves away. With the system running, every active head shows up in the imagery as it fires, and we tie those photographs back to a high-fidelity 3D model of the course. That fixes each head in its true position, in real-world coordinates. The ones that matter, we walk and confirm on foot.

The record

The result is one sheet, every active head placed on the real course, field-verified instead of traced off an old plan. Greens, tees, fairways, surrounds: the whole system in a single layout the crew can dig against.

What it gives them

A head map that matches the ground: where to dig for a repair, where the coverage falls, and a true base to plan a renovation from. The system as it is, not as the last paper plan remembered it.
