Irrigation Design
The Foundation of Your Farm's Success
Proper irrigation design maximizes crop yields while minimizing water waste and energy costs. We’ve honed our design process over decades to ensure every farm, orchard, greenhouse, or nursery receives a tailored irrigation solution that meets their unique needs.
Our Design Process: Precisely Practical
Initial Consultation
We start by listening. Our team will discuss your goals, crop types, and current irrigation challenges. We take the time to understand your unique situation, including your budget constraints and long-term plans.
Site Analysis
Using tools like Google Earth, we analyze your property's layout, topography, and existing infrastructure. We'll ask you to provide:
- Accurate field dimensions
- Location of water sources
- Desired irrigation zones
System Planning
Based on the information gathered, we will develop a preliminary irrigation plan that considers:
- Water source capacity
- Crop water requirements
- Soil type and water retention characteristics
- Field layout and topography
Design Creation
While we have the capability to use AutoCAD for complex projects, we often find that simpler methods are more efficient and cost-effective for many of our clients. We create scaled drawings or use Google Earth maps to design your system, including:
- Pipe layouts and sizes
- Emitter placements
- Pump station specifications
- Filtration requirements
Customer Review and Approval
We present the design to you for review and make any necessary adjustments based on your feedback. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand and are satisfied with the proposed system before we move forward.
Tailored Designs for Optimal Performance
Our designs are comprehensive systems engineered for your specific needs. Every pipe size, emitter placement, and equipment selection is carefully calculated to work in harmony, ensuring top performance for your unique conditions. Our designs specify:
- Precise pipe diameters to maintain ideal water pressure throughout your system
- Custom-selected emitters that match your crops' water needs and your soil conditions
- Pump specifications tailored to your water source and system requirements
- Filtration systems designed for your specific water quality challenges
This level of customization means that substituting components or altering the design can significantly impact system performance. Our designs are created to work as a cohesive unit, maximizing efficiency and longevity.
Factors We Consider in Every Design
Crop Type and Water Needs
Different crops have varying water requirements. We design systems that deliver the right amount of water at the right time for optimal growth, whether you're growing row crops, orchard trees, or greenhouse produce.
Soil Characteristics
Soil type significantly affects water retention and movement. Our designs account for your specific and varied soil conditions to ensure efficient water distribution and prevent issues like runoff or deep percolation.
Topography
We carefully consider elevation changes in your fields, as these can significantly impact water pressure and distribution. Our designs ensure consistent water delivery across your entire operation, regardless of terrain challenges.
Water Source and Quality
Whether you're using well water, surface water, or municipal sources, we design systems that work with your available water supply. We also address any water quality issues, incorporating appropriate filtration and treatment solutions as needed.
Climate Considerations
Local climate patterns, including rainfall and temperature variations, are factored into our designs to ensure your system performs well year-round. We can incorporate features like frost protection for orchards or cooling systems for greenhouses.
Practical Solutions for Real Growers
Not every grower wants or needs a high tech solution — but some do. Our approach to irrigation design is based on finding the right balance between technology and practicality. We focus on solutions that offer the best return on investment for your specific operation.
- Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) pumps for energy efficiency and flexible zone control
- Appropriate filtration systems to prevent clogging and ensure system longevity
- Optional remote monitoring with Bluetooth connectivity
- Options for future expansion or upgrades
We also consider ease of maintenance and operation in every design, so you and your employees can manage your system for years to come.
