Case Study: Manchester United achieves remote, precise irrigation and significant time and cost savings with TeamViewer

Manchester United is managing the irrigation of Old Trafford – the ‘Theatre of Dreams’ – remotely

Manchester United’s grounds team faced a time‑consuming challenge at Old Trafford: keeping the pitch in top condition requires precise watering and frequent intervention, but staff previously had to travel on‑site to activate the sprinklers, wasting time and manpower and limiting responsiveness.

By deploying TeamViewer Tensor to remotely access the stadium’s Rain Bird irrigation system from laptops or iPads, the team can monitor and trigger sprinklers in real time, adjust water volumes with greater accuracy, and build useful historical data. The result is significant time and cost savings, improved process efficiency and responsiveness, and plans to extend the solution across the club’s training pitches.
