How does the design process work? 

SSS Irrigation uses the latest Arc GIS mapping software for the system design and Trimble base and rover survey equipment, with a horizontal accuracy of 10mm for the on farm mark-out. 

SSS Irrigation ensures the fixed grid / solid set system is as efficient and cost-effective as possible. It allows us to run different pipe size and flow calculation models so that each system will meet our client's requirements. We offer a full farm plan layout, showing grid positions, main pipe sizes and lateral pipelines. Based on your needs and budget, we can assist with everything from design to installation and operation. 

Scheduling of sprinklers on farm is done via a program which ensures sprinklers with similar flow and pressure values can operate at the same time creating the most efficient and effective use of sprinkler operation and the available water. Alternately programs can be tailored to suit individual farm or seasonal requirements and schedules can easily be designed and managed by the farmer.
