Not sure what kind of system you need? No problem – we help sporting fields, parks, streetscapes and a whole range of commercial businesses find the irrigation system that suits them best.
At CADSULT IDS we strive for the highest integrity of project management services and planning.
Before commencing design, we like to get to know the site comprehensively which includes a site inspection to investigate the different conditions and requirements of the site.
We also undertake the following:
Site and survey assessments.
Securing and assessing water resources.
Scoping and feasibility studies.
Master planning and budget estimates.
Approvals.
Risk control and management.
Cross-referencing of survey plan information provided with the actual site and proposed landscape works.
Organise testing of bore, pump and/or scheme water supply, review test data (not including costs of physical testing).
Irrigation water balance analysis.
Prepare and submit site investigation report.
At CADSULT IDS we use the latest computer-aided design and drafting software and hardware to enhance productivity, presentation and compatibility with systems used by building and landscape architects, surveyors, municipal engineering officers, town planners and other industry professionals.
As part of preliminary and detailed design, we:
Prepare concept plans of major irrigation requirements and area to be irrigated.
Undertake consultation with client representatives concerning concept and proposed control system and equipment requirements and options.
Review budget costs and prepare preliminary design report.
Prepare detailed design of irrigation system, including mainline routing, sprinkler locations, lateral pipe sizing, and control system etc.
Prepare and issue drawings revised to “issued for comment”, liaise with the client prior to finalising the design.
Optimise layouts.
Assist in component selection.
Complete hydraulic modelling and analysis.
Complete system, associated civil, and electrical designs.
Provide detailed design drawings.
We also provide detailed documentation, ready for you to go to tender and offer experienced advice on the irrigation contract throughout the tendering process and following the appointment of an irrigator.
We also provide detailed documentation, including:
Drawings revised to “issue for tender”, for inclusion in the documentation package.
Documentation identified through consultation with client representatives.
Detailed technical specification documents, including special clauses and requirements.
Pre-tender estimates.
Capital vs Operation costs.
Performance optimisation.
Automatic control systems.
We offer contract administration advice and assistance including:
Review, reporting and recommendations on tenders received.
