A modern and efficient irrigation system is an important investment for any sports club to ensure long-term, well-maintained grass playing fields. However, the purchase, installation, and operation of irrigation systems also involve costs that must be planned accordingly. Furthermore, aspects of sustainability and funding opportunities play an important role today. This article provides an overview.
Calculate costs realistically with professional advice
The costs of an irrigation system cannot be quantified in general terms, as many factors such as the size of the system, the components used, the degree of automation, etc. play a role. Rough guidelines:
-
Stationary systems: From approximately 15,000 to over 100,000 euros for professional facilities for larger sports fields.
-
Mobile systems : Significantly cheaper, starting at around 1,500 euros for simple irrigation sets.
In addition to the investment costs for planning, purchasing and installing the system, there are also ongoing costs for operation and maintenance:
- Electricity and water consumption
- Maintenance work and service calls
- Repairs and spare parts replacement
- Winter operation and storage of mobile equipment
- Personnel costs for operation and maintenance
A realistic cost estimate based on your individual circumstances is therefore important. Our experts at Wassermann360 will provide you with a comprehensive quote with a transparent cost breakdown.
Use funding programs and benefit from grants
In many cases, the costs of new irrigation systems can be reduced through subsidy programs:
-
Municipal funding : Cities and municipalities often support sports facilities through grants.
-
State Sports Association : Some state sports associations have their own funding pots for infrastructure measures.
-
DFB funding : The German Football Association supports football pitches with up to 200,000 euros through the “Amateur Sports Facilities” program.
An important prerequisite for funding is usually a sustainable irrigation concept with smart water-saving measures such as sensors, rainwater harvesting, etc.
Our experts will help you find suitable funding programs and submit the necessary documents.
