Residents of the Links in New Plymouth are surrounded by lush green parks, thanks to their pop-up sprinkler system.
The developers of the Links chose Weathermatic pop up sprinklers and an ADL system design based on cost and efficiency. They could draw out the spacing for lower capital investment and still get a uniform application. ADL designed the system and Adim Pumping & Engineering installed it. Gary Thomas who was the installer for the project says he chose to work with ADL because they offered a free design service for the project.
The system irrigates the gardens, playgrounds, grassed areas and other park environments. It needed good wind resistance, reliable filtration and efficient pumps that could cope with the elevation differences at the site.
Stage two of the links development is now on the drawing boards, and stage one is looking lively with well watered park areas.

World First in Dairy Farm Irrigation
Alan Cooper of Wanganui may well be the first dairy farmer in the world to use pop-up sprinklers for irrigation. Alan chose this system to overcome challenges of topography. Now his idea is really catching on. Being coastal means a lot of Alan’s property was once sand dunes. Like many...more
What goes up must come down
ADL chose a simple gravity fed stock-water system for the 1500 Acre Milbourne sheep & beef farm in the Hawkes’ Bay. The main challenge in the Milbourne project was to get the right amount of water to the right places, even though there were varying elevations on the farm. Water was...more
Irripod System overcomes obstacles
Like many New Zealand farms, Bob Scott's Wairarapa property is not laid out in uniform blocks like a city street. Interesting paddock shapes, power lines and trees made Irripod the logical choice for Bob's farm irrigation. Bob approached GV Electrical for help with his farm irrigation system....more
Hitting Jack Frost where he hits hardest
The stakes are high in frost prone properties and good frost protection relies on good design and installation. Mike Kirk of Opotiki hit back at Jack with an ADL-designed frost protection system that will cope with temperatures as low as -4o. Mike Kirk is in a particularly frost prone area....more
Three orchards, three different designs
Each of Chris Dunstan's orchard developments is different from the next. So are their ADL-designed irrigation and frost protection systems. ADL have designed water systems for three of Chris Dunstan’s kiwifruit orchard developments totalling approximately 35 hectares. All have had unique...more
