Check and test existing irrigation system facilities that will remain in place or will be relocated before performing clearing and grubbing, earthwork, or other construction activity that will affect the existing irrigation system. When available, use existing irrigation control software program and flow sensors to conduct the test. Clear obstructions in strainers and filters before conducting tests. The Engineer determines the test watering cycle lengths and controller information to be utilized during the tests. Check for deficiencies in the existing irrigation systems including: 1. Missing, damaged or malfunctioning irrigation components 2. Leaks on supply line and irrigation components 3. Electrical continuity between irrigation controller and irrigation components 4. Electrical power at the irrigation controller 5. Communication between irrigation controller and remote access devices
