Commercial Irrigation
Commercial Irrigation Systems Built for Performance, Precision, and Peace of Mind
For commercial and large-scale irrigation systems, careful planning and design are critical factors. At Future Green Irrigation, we take all the necessary steps in developing a high-quality irrigation system that will operate hassle-free for many years to come.
Our Installations Are Carefully Planned
We make sure the system's performance is never affected.
Keeping Commercial Spaces Green
Our sprinklers allow water to gently soak into the soil and achieves an even distribution.
Commercial irrigation Design
Custom CAD Design For Your Unique Commercial Property Requirements
Every irrigation project is different, which is why we treat each design with its own unique assessment and development.
Both commercial & large-scale projects require careful planning that will make sure the system’s performance is never affected. One of the most common factors that can cause issues is pressure loss due to friction or elevation changes. Our custom-designed systems deliver consistent results.
Our Commercial Design Process
Determining The Type Of Water Source
The first thing we do is determine what kind of water source you will be using. For example, this will either be a pump or a city water meter.
If the system is to run off a water pump, it is important to size the pump correctly. Pumps that operate at pressures and flow rates too low for which they have been designed will run inefficiently. This will cause the pump to wear out faster over time. The correct pump size will be determined by our desired total system flow.
In most cases, the system flow will be a maximum of 50 Gallons Per Minute at 60 PSI.
Finding The Maximum Total System Flow Rate
Next, we determine your maximum total system flow rate. If you are using a pump as a water source, this information will already be known when sizing the pump. If you are using city-supplied water for your source, the flow rate is determined by three factors:
- Maximum allowable flow through the water meter
- Maximum allowable flow through the service line
- Total length of service line
The most limiting factor will determine your total system flow.
Professional Design and Installation
Our experienced staff have the knowledge and expertise to design and install a commercial irrigation system.
Our Sprinklers Use Less Water, Keeping Costs Low
Our systems use up to 30% less water when compared to traditional sprays.
Drafting Your Irrigation System
After Determining The Water Source And Maximum Total System Flow, We Start Drafting Your Irrigation System
Our design software allows us to accurately place sprinkler heads in what is called “head-to-head” spacing. This is standard practice in the industry and ensures the most uniform coverage.
We determine all the locations of the sprinkler heads for the whole project before any further steps are taken.
FAQ
These questions address common planning and decision points for businesses considering a new irrigation system. The answers below are designed to clarify expectations, outline responsibilities, and support confident next steps.
How is pricing determined for a commercial irrigation project?
Project cost depends on property size, irrigation zones, soil type, water pressure, and system design requirements. A site visit allows an irrigation technician to assess layout needs, backflow prevention, and controller selection before preparing a written proposal. This approach helps avoid surprises and supports accurate budgeting from the start. For guidance on water infrastructure considerations, businesses can reference the City of Calgary water services resources.
Are permits or approvals required before installation begins?
Many commercial properties require permits or compliance with local plumbing and cross-connection standards, particularly when installing a backflow preventer. Future Green Irrigation coordinates installation details to align with municipal requirements and industry codes. Businesses can review provincial guidelines through the Government of Alberta for added clarity. This preparation helps prevent delays once work is scheduled.
How long does a typical commercial installation take?
Most projects are completed within several days, though timelines vary based on trenching scope, irrigation zones, and weather conditions. Before work begins, clients receive a clear schedule outlining each phase, from layout marking to controller programming. That structure allows property managers to plan around daily operations with minimal disruption.
What kind of warranty or follow-up support is included?
Installations include workmanship coverage and manufacturer warranties on major components such as sprinkler heads, valves, and smart irrigation controllers. Ongoing support is available for adjustments, seasonal startup, and system optimization as site conditions change. Businesses looking to protect their investment are encouraged to schedule a consultation to review long-term maintenance options and next steps.
