Tasman Park Race Course – Tasmania

Project: Tasman Park Race Course – Tasmania

Product: Lowara SV - Triplex Hydrovar System complete with control panel and interface card

Irrigation Tasmania P/L was asked to quote on the supply and installation of the irrigation system for Tasman Park Race Track at Launceston in Tasmania. The specification called for competitors’ product but being a long term supplier of the Lowara brand and having full confidence with the product we offered Lowara SV multistage pumps, Hydrovar controllers and a Brown Brothers Engineers custom built control panel for the triplex system.

Part of our submission was the offering that we could interface this system with the Toro Sitepro irrigation controller allowing for full functionality within the system. Technical data showing comparisons of Lowara against other brands was also submitted along with the ability of Irrigation Tasmania P/L and Brown Brothers Engineers P/L to support the product.

The project was won and duly installed, Brown Brothers Engineers delivered the triplex set pre built, tested and ready to go. The pump set went in without a hitch and was jointly set up onsite and commissioned with Brown Brothers Engineers and Irrigation Tasmania staff. The interface caused some minor problems but after delaying flights home and staying to finish the commissioning the interface was up and running.

The system has been in and running for four years to date with minimal issues – and none product related.

We still use, sell and recommend the Lowara SV and Hydrovar range of pumps and drives for projects where our clients demand quality, excellence and full product support – a package you get from an Irrigation Tasmania /Brown Brothers Engineers combination.
