What Watering System does

Arrosage System is a French privately-held specialist in hydraulic water management founded in 1996, headquartered in La Chapelle sur Erdre with a regional office in La Chapelle Saint Ursin. The company designs, installs, maintains, and operates underground automatic irrigation systems across four primary verticals: prestigious golf courses, municipal green spaces and urban landscaping, sports fields (football, rugby, tennis, artificial turf), and decorative water features (fountains, water mirrors, misting systems). Niche offerings extend to tramway platform irrigation, equestrian arenas, and custom pumping stations ranging from 3 to 600 m3/h. The in-house design office uses CAD/DAO tools with GPS-based as-built surveys, and the firm integrates third-party supervisory systems (notably Toro Lynx Central Control) for centralized computer-controlled irrigation management. A proprietary trenchless pipe installation technique allows network deployment around golf greens without disturbing the playing surface.

The business model is project-based services with a recurring maintenance layer. Revenue is generated from one-time custom engineering and installation contracts (golf course renovations, sports field builds, municipal water features), supplemented by 24/7 monitoring and maintenance contracts across French territory and hardware sales of pumping stations. The GTM motion is enterprise field sales engineering, with projects acquired through reputation, industry references, and direct outreach to municipalities, golf clubs, sports facility operators, developers, and government agencies (including the American Battle Monuments Commission). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The customer book is concentrated in high-prestige accounts — Golf National, Golf de Morfontaine, Golf du Médoc, Château Margaux, Cities of Nantes and Lorient — and the firm holds Qualipaysage A520/A520 GC, Qualigolf, and SYNAA credentials that act as gating qualifications for public and golf-sector tenders. Roughly 25 years of operation, no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no listed management team beyond the founder-era structure.
