El Prat de Llobregat promotes innovative solutions for the growth and sustainability of urban green areas

,

In a particularly complex territorial context, with high urban pressure, strategic infrastructure such as the airport, and the presence of protected natural areas in the Llobregat Delta, irrigation management becomes a key element for ensuring the sustainability of green spaces and the resilience of the urban landscape.

El Prat de Llobregat has recently completed the deployment of the SAMCLA telemanagement system throughout the municipality, reinforcing the strategy of digitizing green space maintenance services and improving the efficiency of water resource use.

The project integrates a real-time irrigation control network of nearly 1,000 solenoid valves thanks to 10 Hub’s connected to 400 irrigation controllers distributed throughout parks, gardens, roundabouts, and other natural areas of the city.

In addition, the following elements have been installed:

  • 16 water meters for monitoring consumption by hydraulic sector.
  • 11 soil moisture sensors located in representative areas of different types of vegetation.
  • Rain sensors for automatic interruption of irrigation cycles during rainfall events.

Implementation of the system represents a significant improvement in the operational management of municipal gardening services:

  • Water consumption reduction through dynamic irrigation adjustment.
  • Overconsumption detection, allowing the identification of areas with potential hydraulic anomalies and minimizing response time.
  • Real-time monitoring with automatic water cut-off in case of leakeage.
  • Maintenance reduction, as remote diagnosis and intervention of the controllers are possible.

With this initiative, El Prat de Llobregat consolidates an advanced management model for urban green infrastructure, a preventive maintenance model that is optimized and adapted to real environmental conditions, based on digitalization, water efficiency, and sustainability.

SAMCLA ARRIVES IN HUESCA

,

The City Council of Huesca is committed to SAMCLA for the control of irrigation and water consumption in the city’s parks and gardens.

Electric and battery-powered controllers and sensors managed remotely from a single platform, saving not only thousands of liters of water, but also many hours of maintenance.

 

SAMCLA with the Spanish Association of Landscape Architects

We are particularly proud to announce our collaboration with the Spanish Association of Landscape Architects (AEP).

In a context where water efficiency and sustainability are more necessary than ever, we are convinced that designing a project with clear criteria for saving and respecting the environment is essential to achieve smarter, more resilient and more vibrant green spaces. With this collaboration, we want to…

…adding knowledge, technology and vision to help build landscaping aligned with current and future challenges.

 

Collaboration with the Spanish Association of Garden Centers

SAMCLA joins the network of collaborating companies of the AECJ Spanish Association of Garden Centers, a non-profit organization whose mission is

to promote consumption of the green sector to grow, energize and join efforts on the path of excellence of all its associates.

After more than 20 years focused on offering solutions for saving water in public parks and gardens, we want to be able to contribute our bit to the efficiency and sustainability of private gardens as well.

 

New installation at the Port of Tarragona

SAMCLA Infinite irrigation telemanagement system installed in the green areas of the Port of Tarragona

The installation of controllers and sensors now allows for smarter water use and significantly reduces the time required for maintenance tasks. The system covers a wide area — from the Platja del Miracle promenade to the Francolí River, including the main port entrance and the green spaces of El Serrallo.

We would like to thank the Environmental Division of the Port of Tarragona for their support, as well as the teams from BACTAGUA SL, Noujardí, and the Onada Private Foundation for their collaboration.

L’Hospitalet de Llobregat moves towards a greener & more sustainable future.

,

L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, the second most populous city in Catalonia and the most densely populated in Europe, has completed the renovation of its irrigation system.

Aiming to optimize water resource usage and enhance the efficiency of maintenance in its green spaces, the City Council has carried out a comprehensive upgrade of the municipal irrigation network.

As part of this transformation, 340 SAMCLA Infinite controllers and sensors have been installed, enabling the easy configuration of irrigation chains across more than 1,000 sectors simultaneously.

This initiative is part of the city’s commitment to sustainability and intelligent water management, integrating cutting-edge technology that provides remote, precise, and automated control of irrigation in all public green areas.

Torelló: 300 irrigation sectors with SAMCLA telemanagement

,

Torelló Town Council, together with maintenance companies Fundació MAP and TAC Osona, has chosen to rely on SAMCLA with the installation of 90 irrigation controllers (both battery-powered and electric) to

easily and efficiently manage the municipality’s 300 irrigation sectors.

As part of our commitment to smart and sustainable water management, a wide network of sensors has been deployed across the municipality, enabling precise and efficient control of resources. In addition, the new Samcla Infinite software introduces the innovative concept of “virtual chains” of controllers — a cutting-edge feature that significantly saves valuable management time.

 

 

MYPLANT & GARDEN MILANO 2025

,

MyPlant&Garden 2025 took place from February 19 to 21, where SAMCLA products played a leading role in the stand of the Scarabelli group, of which we are part.

This is the most important horticulture, gardening and landscape fair in Italy.

We appreciate the excellent work carried out by the group’s commercial partners and installers so that SAMCLA can reach further every day.
