Irrigation / Watering

According to the INRAE website (National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment), approximately 33 billion m3 of water is withdrawn annually for human activities. 80% of the 3 billion m3 that agriculture consumes goes towards irrigation in various forms, such as surface irrigation, sprinklers, and drip irrigation. In addition, for many local authorities and large conurbations, watering parks, gardens, and green spaces can represent a significant expense in terms of drinking water bills.

Finally, watering sports fields, golf courses, equestrian centers, and landscaping remains a necessity for personal use.

In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in average temperatures, irregular rainfall, and water stress for crops and plants. SOVAL has the right solutions to meet your watering and irrigation needs.

  • Rainwater storage

On-site storage and retention: It has become necessary to collect, store, and regulate water on a plot-by-plot basis.


So, whether you’re an individual or a professional, we can assist you with rainwater storage and recovery systems for your construction projects (detached houses, halls, farms, etc.), firefighting reserves, or industrial use, from the design phase to on-site delivery.
Take advantage of underground systems (cisterns, crates, etc.) or overhead tanks sized according to your needs so you don’t run out of water during the summer season.

  • JA SOVAL cast-iron fittings for PE PVC joints

As a Made in France manufacturer of cast-iron fittings, we can quickly supply you with a range of cast-iron fittings (elbows, tees, reduction cones, etc.) for the rapid fitting of your PVC PE pipes.


Our distributor status also enables us to supply you with Huot or Bayard brand fittings at competitive prices (R5, SR5, R6, SR6, Major Stop, etc.). Last but not least, our expertise is also available to support you with a full range of long-lasting electrofusion fittings and mirror-welding solutions for your HDPE projects.

Whether you’re pumping surface water and/or groundwater, SOVAL can help you make the right choice for your pumping station:

  • Use strainers or non-return valves to safeguard your pumps and networks.
