tight. Robust micro-irrigation is the solution, coupled to rigorous
construction inspection and performance evaluation for establish
solid, bench performance characteristics, and degree of deviation of
the construction contract documents.
Industrial Irrigation System Renovation and Upgrade
Twenty-year-old landscapes are often due for complete
reconstruction. Then, there are also 3 year old landscapes which, if
analyzed using advanced site water planning tools and criteria, would
be found to be unfit for service. But, the short-sighted developers
are now absent, and it is your burden to bear. Best to cut your
losses and start over. Sometimes the mainline pipes can be
utilized. Water Balance is not a provider of band-aides to systems
which have been bastardized, neglected, or flawed at origination in an
irreconcilable fashion.
Training
Certification in design and site water auditing and planning are
transferable. Lesson plans have already been developed for a wide
array of client needs. Water Balance holds demonstrations and
training on-site and at venues near your offices for expediency and
client convenience.
A complex irrigation design project involving 3 roadway design
firms, conversion from metric to Imperial coordinates, and 3 different
municipalities, all making unique demands upon ADOT. Combined
with adjacent project, landscape and irrigation construction amounted
to over $7MM.
As a registered Technical Service Provider for USDA, Water Balance
worked in large agribusiness concern's behalf, performing design,
construction document preparation, submittals to local service center,
budget analysis, water management planning, and served as agent for
producer in regards to requirements by the agency for cost-sharing
agreements within a formal conservation planning process.
Large residential community found infrastructure, common area
landscape irrigation system was built on the cheap, and now needed to
be renovated. Water Balance served as sub-consultant, performing
mainline analysis using EPANet, and powerful, hydraulics program.
Returns on investment for reconstruction, for salvaging that which was
salvageable, for adding valves, and for improving over-all water
distribution uniformity were expected to be less than three years.
