TS EN 12484-2

TS EN 12484-2 is a standard for the typical technical templates used when designing automatic turf irrigation systems. It focuses on the information a project manager should take into account and on the definition and quantification of the equipment and methods used as the basis for installation. In practical terms, it is about how an automatic turf irrigation system is technically described and structured, not simply about irrigation in general.

How design decisions are organised

Automatic turf irrigation systems are engineering assemblies in which the water source, distribution network, control elements, spray components and operating logic must work together. In general technical context, this standard helps frame which information and equipment are relevant during design and how the chosen solution can be justified. The key distinction is between the physical installation and the technical model that defines it: design provides the basis for correct sizing, layout and system definition.

What the scope clearly covers

The standard covers the description of the hardware and methods used as the basis for installing an automatic irrigation system, together with their quantification. In turf irrigation practice, compatibility between components, pipework and fittings selection, and control and distribution logic are all important for creating a coherent system. This document supports a common technical language and a consistent design approach so that automatic turf irrigation systems can be specified in a comparable way across projects.

• Design information and technical justification for automatic turf irrigation systems
• Description of the equipment and methods used for installation
• Quantification of the basis equipment and methods
• Organisation of typical technical templates into a usable design framework
