Precision Farming - Mapping / Site Surveys
"Essential for Precision Irrigation within our Subsrate Production". That's the conclusion of Robin Lynch - Irrigation Manager at Stewarts's of Tayside.
Mapping for Substrate Production
With a large move towards substrate production within the UK Soft Fruit Industry there needs to be more focus on correct dripper specification and DNL placement to ensure even distribution of nutrients and water. Most susbrate irrigation systems are based on greenhouse technology, however greenhouses are generally buit on laser levelled ground. Many substrate blocks are built on slopes like the one pictured below. If the Irrigation system is desiged correctly then there is the oppotunity to reduce wasteful run-off to single figures. Agri-tech's advanced mapping system can produce highly detailed topgraphy maps which help the irrigation designer recommend the correct dripper and place the DNL devices precisely where they are needed.
Agri-tech's Mapping / Surveying service enables precise site mapping for field planning requirements.
• Drainage
schemes - Map drainage pipes and other important landmarks
• Irrigation design - Detailed topographic data enabling precise
irrigation design
• Poly-tunnel layout - quicker and more accurate than the measuring
wheel
• Ideal for Planning and flood risk assessment
Features:
• Surveys are conducted using state of the art GPS recording
equipment.
• Bespoke
mapping software enables multi-layered field
scouting to be conducted.
• Data subsequently transferred to cad
based Mapping software to create multi-layer site maps.
• Unique
detailed topographic data can be captured enabling exact planning
to take place.
• Height data is portrayed at a resolution of one meter
