SNAM plant green area

  • Hits: 36308



The project involved the irrigation system for green areas within the SNAM plant at the Tarsia town.

The total area is about 12 hectares and is composed of green lawn beds. The terrain is purely flat. Through a well the water is collected in an accumulation tank that hydraulically separates the constant flow coming from the well and the irrigation system that requires higher flow rates and shorter durations. The pump that feeds the irrigation system from the accumulation tank has been sized for the different shifts so as not to exceed the volume of compensation.

The plant is composed of more than 3000 m of DN90 main pipelines and problems of different crossings for existing works have been tackled. Several sectioning solenoid valves have been inserted so as to divide the main network and command which sections to engage and which to exclude.






In order to manage the 19 shifts, made up of groups of sectors chosen to balance the flow rate around a set average value in the various shifts, 56 solenoid valves and two control units have been provided to control the valves and the pump in two groups.

The control units can be managed remotely.
The timing of the shifts was drawn up as to:

      • have a similar flow for each turn
      • cover irrigation within a day
      • verify the equivalence between the incoming and the outgoing volume from the supply tank 
      • simulate further hydraulic conditions.
The turf of the green areas is irrigated with more than 500 pop-up sprinklers (dynamic and static), while the perimeter part with hedges and shrubs is irrigated with dripping (self-compensating) laterals. The pluviometric overlap of wet circles and the uniformity of distribution was verified.
More than 40 pressure reducers have been inserted to keep the pressure below certain limits in some areas of the system (especially for the drip part which requires less pressure to operate).

In the project, different scenarios were assessed (some discarded due to lack of uniformity, efficiency and balancing of flow rates per shift), and finally chosen the one that at the same time reaches the daily requirement to irrigate the entire surface, has an adequate intensity of rain, an acceptable uniformity and is compatible with the conditions of compensation, volume and flow of the source.

The solution for any need

IrriPro softwareIrriPro is available with FREEWARE license for small systems and with basic features, with fully featured for limited time or with never ending LIFETIME licenses.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE

IrriPro has a CAD-style user friendly interface, designed to be used by engineers, agronomists and other technicians. They have all the analisys tool needed to estimate the consequences of any design choice and to represent the trend of any physical parameter.

WIDE DATABASE

The DB is not a list of passive elements, but a way to make the most of the software using existing material on the market.

QUALITY OF THE PROJECT

The irrigation software IrriPro is the only tool that optimizes the use of water and improves the distribution uniformity, increasing the system efficiency and ensuring the correct distribution of water and fertilizers. Moreover IrriPro reduces the system realization costs, improving quantity and quality of agricultural production.
