irrigation installation

Did you know:

v  Up to one-half of all potable water produced in our region goes to outdoor irrigation.

v  More than 50 percent of the water applied to lawns may be lost to evaporation or run-off because of over-watering.

v  Improved irrigation efficiency enhances landscape quality; helps to stretch local water supplies; and helps protect and sustain local water resources for area residents and the environment.

These little known facts are some of the most important things to consider when thinking about a new irrigation system. (Facts courtesy of South Florida Water Management District)

Design

We take the design of our lawn sprinkler systems very seriously. Our irrigation systems are designed in-house by a qualified Irrigation Designer.  We don’t rely on our suppliers to do this.  Our designers know that a good irrigation design starts with the customer's needs, factors in site conditions such as plant species, sun exposure, slopes, soil type, water supply, and drainage situations.
 
B & R Industries, Inc. irrigation systems achieve water efficiency by designing the system with these methods:

v  Balanced precipitation

v  Proper head spacing

v  Managing pressure losses

v  Zoning system based on needs of microclimates

v  Using check valves in heads where needed

v  Using drip irrigation when applicable for planting beds and trees

v  Using a rain sensor that will shut the system off in the event of rain

v  Backflow prevention devices to protect your drinking water from irrigation system contaminants

Installation

We do it right the first time!  A quality installation is just as important as a good design.  B & R Industries, Inc. goes above and beyond to make sure your lawn sprinkler system is installed right.  There are no short cuts at B & R.

v  We call the utility companies (gas, water, phone, power and cable) to have these underground items located for protection.

v  Our in-house irrigation license holder pulls the permits required to make sure the water supply is connected properly.

v  Our staff of Certified Irrigation Contractors take the responsibility of mentoring new employees that you'll have knowledgeable people installing your system.

v  This ensures all sprinkler heads and valves are installed flush with grade so that they're out of your way when you mow.

v  Piping is installed at least 12” deep into a clean trench

v  Installation is done using trenching method as it provides a more stable environment for the irrigation pipe which provides a longer lasting, lower maintenance lawn sprinkler system. 

v  Single strand wire is used for all direct bury applications

v  Heads are set away from walkways or drives so edger operators are able to stay clear

v  Exposed wire at controller is installed in an electrical conduit for protection

v  UL approved wire splices are used at any in ground splice locations (always in a valve box)

v  Proper gluing techniques are used that include the use of pipe cleaner and primer

v  Reducing water pressure delivered to the irrigation system in the event that the pressure exceeds what is needed to operate the system effectively

v  Each site is left clean at the end of the job

v  All required inspections are completed

User Orientation

The job is not complete until the owner receives a complete orientation to their new system. Our staff goes the extra mile by providing additional materials.

v  An owner’s manual for the controller

v  A system review is conducted for the owner

v  A watering schedule is created based on historical water needs information and information provided by your local governing municipality.

v  The controller (if digital) is labeled with zone location information and other information that a user may need when programming.
