Air control is a critical part of protecting wastewater networks in real world operation.

The BERMAD C50 Sewage & Wastewater Combination Air Valve is designed to evacuate air during pipeline filling, release trapped air and gas pockets under pressurized conditions, and enable large volume air intake during draining to help prevent vacuum formation in the line.

For added system protection, the Surge Protection option incorporates a dedicated device that slows down the discharge of air during high volume, low pressure air relief. This controlled air release helps prevent the rapid pressure changes that can generate surge within the pipeline, reducing stress on the system and improving overall operational stability.

Watch the C50 in action under standard pipeline filling, pressurized operation, and vacuum conditions.

modernization is driving systems away from open channel distribution and toward pressurized networks that must operate reliably under changing demand.

This case study from Spain highlights the transition of an consortium from manual, open channel irrigation to a fully pressurized, pumped network and the hydraulic challenges that came with it.

Surge control, pressure zoning, air management under low pressure, and stable operation across both peak and very low flow conditions became critical to system reliability and infrastructure protection.

Whether modernization efforts take place in Europe or the U.S., the challenges are similar and the solutions scale globally.

The 120 Series Pressure Reducing Valve is designed for precise pressure regulation and dependable performance across a wide range of applications. It reliably reduces high upstream pressure to a stable, preset downstream pressure regardless of upstream pressure or flow fluctuations delivering consistent operation, and long service life in demanding field conditions.

But performance in the field starts long before installation.

At BERMAD USA, we operate a local facility that allows us to assemble and configure valves per order, based on specific project requirements. This hands on, local approach supports faster turnaround, stable availability, and direct access to technical expertise when it matters most.
From custom assemblies and quality control to local technical support and a dependable U.S. supply chain, our facility plays a critical role in supporting and agricultural systems across the country.

These valves are engineered for reliable performance in the field and further strengthened by local assembly, technical support, and a dependable U.S. supply chain.

2In irrigation and agricultural operations, accurate water measurement isn’t just about monitoring — it’s about control, planning, and long‑term system .

In this case, Burk at W.P. Law, Inc., supporting a prominent grower, needed a high‑quality water meter that could be installed with zero straight pipe requirements, deliver long‑term accuracy, and communicate easily with existing controllers.

The grower selected the BERMAD MUT2300 Electromagnetic Water Meter with the MC406A register. With no moving parts, the MUT2300 eliminates mechanical wear, delivering reliable, long‑term accuracy with minimal maintenance, even in challenging installations with zero upstream and downstream pipe length.

Chosen for its installation flexibility, high accuracy, and communication capabilities, the MUT2300 allows customizable data output and can operate on battery power or via an AC/DC converter, offering added flexibility in the field.

The project was supported by Rob Brown, who worked closely with the dealer and customer to ensure the solution met both technical and operational needs.

This is another example of how combines advanced metering technology with practical field knowledge and local support to deliver reliable, easy‑to‑integrate solutions for modern irrigation systems.

Hands‑on training, real‑world support, and solutions built for critical water systems.

Water Districts operate complex, large‑scale irrigation networks where system stability, asset protection, and operational reliability are critical.

Transient pressure events, such as pump startups, shutdowns, or power failures, can pose a serious risk to pipelines, reservoirs, and downstream assets. That’s why surge protection and controlled system behavior are essential components in irrigation infrastructure projects.

Recently, our team supported the Kern-Tulare Water District with the installation and setup of BERMAD’s Surge‑Anticipating Control Valve from the 700 Sigma Series — a 10” 735 control valve. In this application, the valve plays a key role in protecting the pipeline from surge events and preventing the line from draining back into the reservoir, helping maintain hydraulic stability and reduce operational risk.

The BERMAD 735 Surge‑Anticipating Valve is designed specifically for infrastructure systems where rapid pressure changes can cause damaging surges. By responding automatically to pressure fluctuations, the valve helps absorb surge energy, control pressure spikes, and protect the system without the need for external power — making it a reliable solution for critical irrigation networks operated by Water Districts.

The project was supported end‑to‑end by Arthur Howell, our Regional Sales Manager, who worked closely with the district throughout the process — from selecting the right solution to supporting field implementation.

As part of the installation, Anthony Purcaro, our Sales Engineering & Support Lead, was on site providing hands‑on training — guiding the district’s team through valve operation, pilot settings, and control loop behavior under real operating conditions. This level of on‑site engineering support is especially important in Irrigation Infrastructure projects, where system performance, reliability, and long‑term operation depend on correct configuration and understanding in the field.

Across the U.S., large farms are facing growing pressure from labor shortages, tighter water regulations, and rising energy costs.

As a global irrigation brand, BERMAD sees these same challenges worldwide—and this case study from Australia demonstrates how technology can address them at scale.

For years, Grech Farms in Australia, a large, multi zone vegetable operation, managed irrigation the traditional way: Constant on site monitoring, manual valve operation, and daily physical movement between dozens of irrigation zones.
During peak growing periods, this manual approach consumed significant time and labor, increased operational risk, and limited the farm’s ability to optimize water and energy use.

To overcome these challenges, Grech Farms transitioned to a centralized, cloud based irrigation control system with BERMAD.
By automating more than 40 irrigation zones and enabling real time remote management, the farm dramatically reduced daily labor demands, improved water efficiency and regulatory compliance, and optimized energy use during irrigation cycles.

With BERMAD’s intelligent control solution, Grech Farms achieved:
• Reduced reliance on on site labor and manual valve operation
• More consistent, regulated water distribution across multiple zones
• Lower energy consumption through precise, automated control
• A scalable platform ready for future expansion

The result is a more resilient and efficient irrigation operation—designed to meet the operational, regulatory, and economic realities facing large farms today.

Whether you’re managing irrigation in Australia, California, or the Midwest, the challenges are similar—and the solutions scale globally.
