Overview
EN 12484-4:2002 - "Irrigation techniques - Automatic turf irrigation systems - Part 4: Installation and Acceptance" (CEN) specifies installation methods and the handover (acceptance) procedures for automatic turf irrigation systems. It sets practical on‑site requirements for storage, trenching, pipe and cable installation, equipment fitting and the formal handover process. Annex A provides an informative check list for system handover (excluding pump stations).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Installation planning
- Establish an installation schedule and coordinate with other trades (Annex B gives task sequencing guidance).
- Contractor storage and handling
- Storage rules for pipes (PVC, polyethylene) and electrical equipment: keep dry, shaded, follow manufacturer stacking limits and avoid contact with petroleum or heat.
- Staking and layout
- Stakes must follow the approved layout; use colour coding and verify any on‑site modifications with the project manager.
- Trench specification and backfilling
- Trench width adapted to pipe diameter (generally not exceeding twice the pipe OD).
- Minimum cover: 0.60 m for main pipes, 0.50 m for lateral pipes unless site conditions require different depths.
- Bedding: use 5 mm sand bedding if bottom isn’t smooth; backfill material should be free of stones >10 mm or provide 5–7 cm sand cover above pipe.
- Compact backfill in successive 20 cm layers; install colour‑coded warning mesh 20 cm above the work.
- Trenches under roads must follow national statutory specifications.
- Pipe installation
- Focuses on thermoplastic pipes (PVC and polyethylene). PVC handling notes: reduced impact strength below 0 °C, limit stacking height per manufacturer, cut square and chamfer pipe ends for joints.
- Push‑fit (mechanical) joints require correct chamfering, lubrication and use of manufacturer’s sealing rings.
- Buried cables and electrical
- Guidance for buried cable installation and specific tests (including tests after decoder connections and after all decoders).
- Electrical equipment must be stored dry; controllers and lightning protection installation are covered.
- Equipment installation
- Pop‑up sprinklers, remote valves, valve boxes and drain valves installation and setting.
- Handover and acceptance
- Hydraulic and electrical acceptance criteria: material approval, on‑site commissioning, test reports, as‑laid plans and system operation notes. Annex A check list is recommended for formal acceptance.
- Safety
- Requirements for trench/excavation safety, user information and electrical protection.
