AWS Irrigation Management & Directional Drilling
AWS Irrigation Management Inc. is a full service irrigation and drilling company combining quality design/build installation, service, and the highest level of water conservation possible. This is accomplished by keeping on top of technology, old and new.
New to the 2012 season the AWS team has added another directional drilling machine that allows AWS to bore horizontally with pinpoint accuracy for a distance of 300-400 feet at a time. When the target is located beneath an obstacle, whether rock, swampland or an enviromentally sensistive area directional drilling, has allowed us to now install underground pipes, conduits and cables in a shallow arc along a prescribed bore path by using a surface launched drilling rig. Some the benifits of using a directional drilling machine or horizontal bore is that it allows us greater access, increased productivity, accelerated production and minimized surface disturbance.
Trade memberships, certifications, ongoing education and attendance at trade shows and events keep us abreast of these technologies; and more importantly, allow us to make decisions on the their feasibility. Some ideas are great in theory, but are impractical or not financially feasible. Sometimes products are specified with little field testing and may not be easy to service down the road. It is a tricky road to walk down, balancing efficiency, cost, and serviceability. AWS brings product history and hands-on experience to the table.

Alan Driedger is President of AWS and a University of Waterloo Science graduate. In his 19 years of experience he has installed everything from golf courses and sports field complexes to commercial plazas and residential systems large and small. In these years, he has embraced technology that most contractors shy away from. Pump systems running out of ponds, wells, or cisterns are no problem. Rainwater harvesting and green roof systems have also found their way into our portfolio. Central control and weather based irrigation is where we have made significant progress since beginning with it in 2002. Certified with the Irrigation Association, Alan is a Contractor, Designer, Auditor, and Water Conservation Manager, grouping him with less than 6 such certified individuals in Canada. Alan is also a Level 3 Maxicom Specialist Hardware and Software with Rain Bird Corporation, as well as a Cross Connection (Backflow) Specialist and Tester with the Ontario Waterworks Association.
