Objective
Provide 1 inch of water to an area of

13,460ft2 in the shortest time

Least amount of water falling outside
the property
Minimize cost of materials
Minimize electric utility costs

Layout
Large area used

30-foot radius
sprinkler heads
Smaller areas used
combination of 18
and 17-foot radius
sprinkler heads

Outside corners are
270 rotors
Corners and
boundary edges are
90 and 180 rotors
All others are 360

Cost Analysis

Cost Analysis
Largest cost in the

project is the rotor

sprinkler heads.
Another major
factor for cost is
the diameter of
pipe.

Summary
Project Outcomes:
56 Sprinkler Heads
Total Material Cost: $1154
192 Minutes to Water
