Landscape Irrigation System Design – Coffee Manufacturing Facility
Project: Coffee Processing & Packaging Facility – Landscape Irrigation
Location: Bangalore, India
Standards: IS Codes, Manufacturer Specifications, Local Authority Guidelines
Description:
Provided complete design-stage engineering for the landscape irrigation system serving an 82-acre coffee manufacturing facility. The goal was to ensure efficient water distribution for lawns and green belt areas while optimizing pump performance and minimizing operational costs.
Scope of Work:
-
System Layout: Prepared a detailed irrigation schematic showing mainline, submain, and lateral routing, covering a total of 33 irrigation zones.
-
Sprinkler Design: Specified HT-05P sprinklers with a 10.8 m radius and discharge rate of 0.246 LPS, arranged in a square grid to ensure uniform coverage and eliminate dry patches.
-
Hydraulic Calculations: Performed detailed hydraulic analysis using the Hazen–Williams formula (C=120) and EPANET software, modeling head losses, operating pressures, and zone performance.
-
Run-Time Analysis: Developed an optimized watering schedule in EPANET to balance demand with available pump capacity, confirming a maximum operational capacity of 91 sprinklers per cycle, but limiting active sprinklers to 14–20 per zone for stable pressure and flexibility.
-
Pump Selection: Designed for a Lubi LHS-40 openwell submersible pump (22.5 LPS @ 68 m head), with mainlines (80 mm dia) sized to maintain required flow and keep velocities within IS standards.
-
Controls & Valves: Incorporated isolation valves, air release valves, and flushing points, with manual operation and future automation provisions.
-
Design Compliance: All components selected per manufacturer specifications and local authority guidelines, ensuring long-term durability and ease of maintenance.
Outcome:
The design provides uniform water application, minimizes friction losses, and offers an efficient, zone-based run-time schedule—ensuring sustainable irrigation for the entire facility landscape.
