Underground Mains

Prime Irrigation will design an irrigation underground mains system to meet your individual requirements or supply all the materials required pipe for your own installation.   ​

Installation of mains includes the excavation of trenches ensuring top soil is separated from subsoil. Installation of the pipe is then carried out incorporating bends, tees and valves as required. Hydrants are fabricated to suit specific site conditions, these are installed before the backfilling process is carried out keeping topsoil at the surface to minimise disturbance of the growing media.​
