How do I compare irrigation proposals?
Normalise design flow, operating pressure, filtration level, zone count, pipe classes and control scope before looking at price. Two irrigation offers differing by a third in price usually differ in filtration stage, pipe pressure class, emitter grade or whether installation is included.
Where this sits in greenhouse irrigation system procurement
A greenhouse irrigation system is specified from crop water demand, growing system, water source quality and block layout — those four inputs decide pump duty, filtration, mainline sizing and emitter choice before any supplier is approached.
Typical procurement searches this answers: greenhouse irrigation system · greenhouse drip irrigation design · irrigation system for hydroponic greenhouse · greenhouse water requirement per hectare · commercial greenhouse cost per square meter · glass vs polycarbonate greenhouse
Inputs that change the answer
- Design flow and pressure assumed
- Filtration stages and ratings
- Pipe class and emitter grade
- Installation and commissioning inclusion
What this answer does not settle
Normalisation is a commercial exercise; hydraulic adequacy remains with the designing supplier.
