Irrigation System Design
“Our professional engineers will plan and model various system designs and cost options for any irrigation system from center pivots to drip systems, including large-size steel, GRP/FRP and PVC mainlines. This also includes river, booster or well pump stations. Using satellite imagery, GIS/GPS, aerial photography and topography, IRZ designs systems to help agribusinesses, industries and agencies optimize their labor, energy and water resources.”
Construction Services
“We have brought designs to life for many agricultural projects, including more than 2,000 irrigation systems, ranging from a few hundred acres to 50,000+ acres. As part of the design-to-deployment build stage, we may also provide engineering, soil moisture monitoring, aerial infrared services, comprehensive water conservation plans, pump and motor efficiency testing as well as irrigation system uniformity sensing—all dependent on the project’s needs.”
Irrigation Management and Consulting
“Our water conservation technologies and irrigated water resource management expertise have saved global clients time, money and resources—while also saving the planet millions of gallons of water. Our turnkey solutions, paired with ongoing management of all the parts and pieces of implementing and running a new or enhanced irrigation delivery system, are how we ensure maximum efficiency and impact.”
