Accurate land surveys and pegging are performed with high tech Trimble Global Positioning Systems, for pinpoint accuracy, and specialised design software is used. Water quantities and soil types as well as application rates and power supply, are all considered in carefully thought-out designs. We believe in a custom design for a best fit solution. Depending on the project’s scale and client’s needs, Irritech can tailor-make the contract to partner with the client, in which case design, expertise and commissioning are provided to compliment the clients own labour and machines; or Irritech can provide the project as a turnkey option, whilst making as much use of local labour as possible.
