Highlands Reserve Irrigation Installation
Municipal irrigation installation at Highlands Reserve, including recycled-water infrastructure, sports field sprinklers, playspace drip irrigation, valves, flow monitoring and commissioning.

Overview
LD Irrigation Services completed the irrigation installation for the newly constructed playspace, landscaped areas and adjoining sports field at Highlands Reserve.
The works included recycled-water irrigation infrastructure, sports field sprinklers, garden-bed drip irrigation, irrigation valves, flow monitoring, control cabling and associated underground pipework.
The system was constructed alongside the broader reserve development and coordinated with the civil, landscaping and playground works occurring across the site.
Scope of works
- Installation of recycled-water irrigation mainline and distribution pipework
- Automatic irrigation for the newly constructed sports field
- Drip irrigation throughout landscaped and playground areas
- Installation of irrigation valves and isolation points
- Flow-monitoring equipment
- Irrigation control cabling and conduits
- Construction of accessible valve-box installations
- System flushing, testing, commissioning and sprinkler coverage adjustment
Challenge and Approach
The irrigation system needed to service two distinct environments: a large sports field requiring broad and consistent sprinkler coverage, and detailed landscape areas surrounding the new playspace.
The installation also required close coordination with other contractors so that irrigation pipework, conduits, valve boxes and dripline could be completed at the correct stages of the wider reserve construction programme.
LD Irrigation Services installed the recycled-water irrigation network throughout the reserve, including the main distribution pipework, field irrigation, landscape dripline and associated control infrastructure.
Valve assemblies and flow-monitoring components were installed within accessible underground enclosures to support future servicing and system management.
Dripline was installed across the landscaped areas before planting and mulching, while the sports field irrigation was progressively tested and adjusted to verify sprinkler operation and water coverage before completion of the field surface.
Outcome
The completed system provides dedicated automatic irrigation for both the sports field and the landscaped playspace areas.
The installation supports reliable turf establishment, efficient watering of planting areas and straightforward access to the system's valves and control components for future maintenance.
