LARGE SCALE IRRIGATION DESIGN

KDC Associates provides large scale irrigation planning and design services for complex landscapes where water use, distribution, and long-term performance are critical. With extensive experience across Texas and the Southwest, KDC brings a deep understanding of irrigation systems in arid and water-sensitive environments.

​

KDC’s irrigation work is led by licensed professionals, including a Certified Irrigation Designer (CID), ensuring systems are planned and implemented with a high level of technical expertise and industry-standard best practices.

​

Our work includes municipal parks, athletic complexes, university campuses, golf courses, and large-scale developments where irrigation systems must be efficient, durable, and responsive to both environmental conditions and operational demands.

​

Irrigation Planning + System Design

KDC develops irrigation strategies that align with site conditions, plant material, and long-term maintenance requirements, ensuring systems perform effectively over time.

​

Services may include:

• Irrigation master planning and system layout

• Zoning and distribution design for large-scale sites

• Integration with grading, drainage, and site infrastructure

• Coordination with planting design and landscape systems

• System efficiency and water-use optimization

• Retrofit and renovation of existing irrigation systems

​

 

These systems are designed to support healthy landscapes while minimizing waste and operational challenges.

​

Water-Conscious Design + Performance

Working in water-limited environments requires a disciplined approach to irrigation design. KDC integrates water-conscious strategies that respond to climate, soil conditions, and long-term resource availability.

​

This includes:

• Drought-responsive irrigation strategies

• Integration with xeric and low-water landscape design

• Coordination with municipal water regulations and restrictions

• Efficient system design to reduce overuse and runoff

• Long-term performance and maintenance considerations

​

 

KDC’s experience allows us to design systems that are both environmentally responsible and operationally practical.

​

Technical Coordination + Implementation

Large-scale irrigation systems require coordination across multiple disciplines and phases of development. KDC works closely with engineers, contractors, and maintenance teams to ensure systems are implemented correctly and perform as intended.

​

Services may include:

• Coordination with civil engineering and utility systems

• Construction documentation and detailing

• Construction administration and system review

• Phased implementation for large developments

​

 

This collaborative approach helps ensure irrigation systems are reliable, efficient, and aligned with overall site performance.

​

Approach and Scope

KDC’s irrigation design work is grounded in a practical understanding of how landscapes are maintained over time. By combining certified technical expertise, environmental awareness, and long-term planning, KDC Associates delivers irrigation solutions that support healthy landscapes, responsible water use, and sustained performance across a wide range of project types.
