Irriplan is an independent consulting firm specialising in irrigation and water resources for the golf market. As a matter of policy it does not undertake irrigation designs for irrigation equipment manufacturers, distributors or contractors. This ensures that its advice is objective, impartial and its engineering, designs and specifications are tailored to meet the requirements of the project and the objectives of the developer, not the interests of the manufacturer/supplier.

This independence allows the firm to express its engineering philosophy to provide technical solutions that give the owner performance, efficiency, long-term reliability and ease of operation and maintenance.

Its services include: water resources consulting; reservoir design; irrigation design; technical specification; contract documentation; tender review; site supervision; project management; and GPS surveying/mapping.
