BIS Infrastructure was proud to be selected by the City of Greater Geelong to deliver a full irrigation system renewal at Ervin Reserve, one of the region’s well-used community sporting ovals. With a tight deadline of just six working days before the end-of-year break, our team mobilised quickly and delivered a high-quality outcome on time and to spec.
This project formed part of the City’s ongoing commitment to improving community assets and creating sustainable, resilient infrastructure. Our work at Ervin Reserve highlights BIS Infrastructure’s strength in fast-tracked project delivery, civil works expertise, and collaborative approach to client outcomes.
Scope of works and services delivered
The irrigation system renewal involved the installation of over 2km of new underground pipework and a booster pump station to support a more efficient, modern irrigation setup. The system will help maintain consistent turf conditions across the oval and significantly improve water efficiency — a key goal for councils managing the impact of climate change on public green spaces.
As part of the works, BIS Infrastructure carried out:
- 2km of precision trenching and backfilling
- Supply and installation of new irrigation pipework
- Installation of a booster pump station for improved water pressure and coverage
- Testing, commissioning and handover to City of Greater Geelong
- Full reinstatement of the oval and surrounds
Delivered on time
Timing was critical for this project. With the Christmas shutdown looming, our team had less than a week to complete excavation, installation, and system commissioning. Drawing on years of experience and a tightly coordinated site crew, we completed the works within the required timeframe — ensuring no delays to the oval’s summer maintenance schedule.
Investing in sustainable infrastructure for Geelong
This project represents more than just upgraded infrastructure — it’s an investment in the local community. With a reliable, efficient irrigation system in place, Ervin Reserve will remain a vital, green, and well-maintained space for sports clubs, local schools and families to enjoy year-round.
BIS Infrastructure is proud to partner with councils across Victoria to deliver quality civil and water infrastructure projects. Whether it’s a fast-paced oval upgrade or a major irrigation system overhaul, we bring the experience, the equipment and the people to get it done right.
