BRT Agronomy and Aqua Turf International Announce Associate Partnership to Elevate Golf Irrigation and Agronomic Standards Across Asia

[Singapore – April 2025] – BRT Agronomy is pleased to announce an official associate partnership with Aqua Turf International (ATI), a globally recognised leader in irrigation design and water management services for golf courses and large-scale landscapes.

This new alliance brings together ATI’s award-winning irrigation planning and design expertise with BRT Agronomy’s hands-on agronomic consulting and project advisory. Together, the two firms will offer a fully integrated approach to golf course development, renovation, and sustainability throughout Southeast Asia and India.

“We’re excited to partner with Aqua Turf International to deliver complete, regionally tailored solutions for golf courses,” said Brad Revill, Managing Director of BRT Agronomy. “This partnership allows us to offer clients seamless support across agronomy, irrigation design, and project execution — ensuring high performance on every level, from playability to water efficiency.”

A Regional Response to Growing Pressure

Across Asia, golf courses face mounting pressure from rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, water scarcity, and ageing irrigation systems. Courses are seeking smarter, more efficient systems that reduce water and electricity use while maintaining high-quality turf.

This partnership responds directly to that demand. By combining ATI’s cutting-edge irrigation planning tools with BRT Agronomy’s deep understanding of turf performance and agronomy, the partnership offers a solution-focused model designed for local conditions.

What Clients Can Expect

BRT Agronomy will now serve as a regional associate for ATI, providing clients with access to full-service irrigation design — including audits, master planning, water use studies, schematic and technical design, and on-site construction support. The combination of agronomy and irrigation consulting will provide clients with a one-stop shop approach, consolidating communication and reducing travel costs.

The collaboration will streamline communication between consultants, contractors, and club management, making the planning and execution process more efficient. With local project leadership provided by BRT Agronomy, project costs can be reduced through improved coordination and reduced travel. The partnership also enables faster implementation by offering regional representation and ensures that strategic planning aligns turf health with irrigation efficiency from the outset.

“Having worked alongside ATI on several high-profile projects, we’ve already seen the value of this partnership in action,” added Brad Revill. “Clients benefit from independent, data-driven solutions that prioritise sustainability and long-term return on investment.”

A Proven Track Record

ATI has delivered irrigation design solutions for projects across more than 30 countries over 25 years, including numerous courses in Thailand, India, Indonesia, and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

BRT Agronomy has consulted on some of the region’s most respected golf facilities, including Nikanti Golf Club, The Empire Brunei, Pineapple Valley, and Royal Canberra Golf Club. Past collaborations between the two companies have yielded measurable improvements in water use efficiency, playing conditions, and maintenance cost reductions.

“This associate partnership allows us to extend ATI’s world-class services through a trusted agronomic partner with local insight,” said Jim Schumacher, President of Aqua Turf International. “Brad’s reputation and field knowledge in Asia make this a natural fit, and we’re confident clients will see immediate value.”
