Information on the location's seasonal weather and rainfall, the composition of the soils (both of which may vary throughout the site), and any other environmental considerations involved are vital. Engineering information available provides grading, water sources, and other related information. All this information must be considered before the actual design process begins.   back to top   Master Planning   As with any new project, the correct master planning of the irrigation system is as important as the master planning of the proposed lots, roadway and utilities within the project in order to minimize long-range costs.

All information regarding the selection of irrigation equipment is listed, and detailed installation instructions thoroughly covered. This is especially important during the bidding process, when the contractor is estimating the cost of his services.   back to top   Cost Studies / Estimates   Very few projects have the luxury of unlimited funding. A cost study will provide information regarding all areas and expenses involved in the construction of the irrigation system. The estimates are prepared for contractors when the project goes out for bidding. This assures uniformity, since all contractors will be given the same list and specifications. The cost study and estimates will determine how much of the project's budget will need to be devoted to irrigation.   back to top   Instructional Support and Follow-Up   We specialize in a wide variety of activities in this area. Irrigation Hawaii has contributed a number of articles on various irrigation topics to both local and national magazines. Through conferences, speaking to groups, and instructing classes in irrigation design and installation locally, nationally, and throughout Asia, we try to promote industry awareness. Site inspections and auditing of existing irrigation systems can help upgrade your system, while improving its performance. Site visits during construction are another tool used to guarantee the quality of the installation. It allows, at various stages of construction, for inspection of both the equipment used and installation methods. Since these have been called out in the specification, it is your insurance that all areas of installation are done properly.   back to top   Summary   Irrigation Hawaii, Ltd., being based in Hawaii, is the only logical choice for irrigation design services within the Hawaii and the Pacific Rim.
