The Areitio Sports City is not just a center dedicated to sports and competitive improvement, but an example of sustainable infrastructure. The facility incorporates an irrigation system designed to ensure the optimal maintenance of the five training fields used daily by Sociedad Deportiva Eibar. The complex, which irrigates a total area of 35,000 m², has a 2,000 m³ reservoir that is supplied by various sustainable sources, ensuring operational autonomy throughout the year.
The main supply comes from the Zubitegi stream, whose water is pumped to the main reservoir. This is complemented by the collection of rainwater and the reuse of water filtered from the irrigation system itself, which is also redirected back into the system. This circuit significantly reduces dependence on external resources and optimizes the use of available water in the Mallabia area.
The irrigation works through impact sprinklers, a system that ensures uniformity and precise control over each field. The installation incorporates remote management technology through a mobile application, from which schedules can be programmed, specific zones can be activated, or session durations can be adjusted based on the needs of the playing field.
The combination of automation, efficiency, and utilization of natural resources makes the Areitio irrigation system a strategic element to ensure the quality of the grass, both natural and artificial, and to sustain the daily activity of all the club's categories. With this design, SD Eibar strengthens its commitment to responsible and advanced management of its new facilities.
