New Zealand relies heavily on irrigation for its agriculture, with 75% of abstracted water going towards irrigated farming. With increasing water scarcity and labor shortages post-Covid, it's crucial for farmers to optimize their irrigation systems for maximum efficiency. One such system is the center-pivot irrigation, which can be challenging to use on hilly terrain.

This is where Spatial Data Services comes in. We specialize in designing center-pivot irrigation lanes that are customized to suit the unique contours of your land, using the minimum amount of earthworks and ensuring that the bends and twists at the knuckle points remain within the manufacturer's specifications.

Even on flat land, designing center-pivot irrigation lanes requires careful calculation to find the most economical solution. We take into account various factors such as terrain slope, center point location, clearances, arm length, and kink and twist angles at the knuckle joint to determine the most cost-effective design.

Our center-pivot irrigation software has a proven track record, and is widely used in Southland, New Zealand.
