1. What is this item?

Main water distribution lines form the arteries of your farm’s irrigation network—carrying water to and from storage tanks or pumps to branch lines and laterals in the fields. Using recycled HDPE (high-density polyethylene) pipes is eco-friendly, UV-resistant, and delivers smooth flow with minimal leaks.

2. How is the Quantity Estimated?

• Layout Plan: Map out your main header from the tank/pump house to the farthest irrigation zone.

• Length: Measured in running meters (e.g., a 10 ha farm often needs 800–1,200 m of main line).

• Diameter: Determined by peak flow demand—commonly 50–100 mm for mains, based on litres/second required.

• Branches & Fittings: Number of tees, elbows, valves, and hydrants influences total pipe length and fitting count.

3. What are the Cost Components?

• Recycled HDPE Pipe (per meter)

• Pipe Fittings: Tees, elbows, reducers, end caps, ball valves

• Trenching & Bedding: Excavation, sand or fine soil bedding, backfill

• Installation Labor: Laying pipe, jointing, pressure testing

• Welding/Socket Fusion: For seamless, leak-free joints

• Supervision & Quality Checks

4. Going Rates & Per Unit Cost

• Recycled HDPE Pipe (50 mm): ₹40–₹60/m

• Recycled HDPE Pipe (100 mm): ₹80–₹120/m

• Fittings:

o Tees/Elbows: ₹80–₹150 each

o Ball Valves: ₹200–₹400 each

• Trenching & Bedding: ₹30–₹60/m

• Installation & Jointing: ₹50–₹100/m

• Total Benchmark:

o For 50 mm main line: ~₹200–₹300 per running meter (pipe + fittings + trenching + labor)

o For 100 mm main line: ~₹300–₹450 per running meter

Example: A 1,000 m × 50 mm recycled HDPE main line

• Pipe: 1,000×₹50 = ₹50,000

• Trenching: 1,000×₹40 = ₹40,000

• Labor/Jointing: 1,000×₹75 = ₹75,000

• Fittings & Valves (20 units avg ₹250): ₹5,000

Total ≈ ₹170,000 (₹170/m)
