Objective Provide 1 inch of water to an area of 13,460ft 2 in the shortest time Least amount of water falling outside the property Minimize cost of materials Minimize electric utility costs
3
Layout
4
Large area used 30- foot radius sprinkler heads Smaller areas used combination of 18 and 17-foot radius sprinkler heads
5
Layout Sprinkler head locations Circles are 30-foot radius Outside corners are 270° rotors Corners and boundary edges are 90° and 180° rotors All others are 360° rotors

Cost Analysis
10
Largest cost in the project is the rotor sprinkler heads. Another major factor for cost is the diameter of pipe.
