Bounty Club Irrigation Pond Installation

M2 Group provided civil engineering design, surveying, and development management, ensuring the pond integrated seamlessly into the King-Collins golf course layout while meeting rigorous irrigation and environmental standards. Jen-Hill’s role was critical in confirming the subgrade was firm, smooth, and correctly aligned, providing a stable foundation for the pond lining and overall structural integrity, even when the project encountered a live water line that required continuous pumping to maintain dry conditions.

The site presented multiple engineering challenges that tested the project team’s coordination and technical precision. The pond footprint included uneven terrain and naturally occurring creeks that bisected the property, demanding careful grading and alignment to prevent future structural issues. Maintaining precise subgrade compaction while controlling water intrusion was essential to achieving long-term reliability, and the team needed to balance speed with accuracy to keep the project on schedule. Jen-Hill applied targeted geotechnical guidance, performing detailed subgrade inspections and confirming proper base preparation before pond lining installation, ensuring the structure could withstand both immediate construction stresses and decades of operational use.

Stormwater and water management were central to the project’s success. The irrigation pond was designed to hold 20 million gallons of water while supporting the course’s extensive irrigation system, requiring continuous monitoring of water levels during installation. Jen-Hill coordinated closely with Brasfield & Gorrie to implement active water control measures, including continuous pumping over the live water line to maintain dry subgrade conditions. This approach prevented delays, mitigated risk of soil instability, and ensured that the liner was installed on a secure, uniform base, reinforcing operational efficiency and long-term performance.

Construction sequencing and timing were also critical to success. Despite the pond’s size and technical complexity, the installation was completed in just four days. This rapid timeline required tight coordination between the civil engineering team, general contractor, and on-site technical experts from Jen-Hill. Each step, from grading and subgrade compaction to liner placement and water management, was meticulously planned to avoid rework, maintain site safety, and prevent operational setbacks. The result was a fully functional irrigation pond delivered on schedule without compromising quality or structural integrity.

The pond not only provides critical water storage for the course but also integrates seamlessly into the landscape, supporting sustainable irrigation practices while minimizing maintenance requirements. By combining advanced civil engineering principles with hands-on contractor oversight and proactive stormwater management, the project demonstrates how complex site challenges can be transformed into high-performing, resilient infrastructure. This approach safeguards buildable land, streamlines operational efficiency, and ensures the system will function reliably under a range of conditions, from routine irrigation to peak water demand periods.

By combining hands-on expertise, careful planning, and coordinated teamwork, the irrigation pond at Bounty Club demonstrates how even the most challenging site conditions can be transformed into reliable, high-performance infrastructure. By combining precise subgrade work, active water management, and close coordination on site, Jen-Hill and the project team delivered a system that meets the golf course’s irrigation needs, minimizes maintenance, and stands up to real-world conditions. With precise planning, hands-on expertise, and unmatched local knowledge, Jen-Hill turns challenging site conditions into reliable, high-performance water infrastructure built to last and deliver consistent results for any project.
