Engineering for us is about applying the latest technology and practices in a disciplined and robust way to provide reliable and cost effective solutions to our clients in irrigation and other water related systems. We were the first in Australia to develop and communicate a water budget management strategy and the first in the world to use spatial intelligence GIS and DGPS for planning and evaluation of systems and cities.
Our range of engineering services exists to help you enjoy a sustainable future with your water, storm water, recycling and technology needs. We partner with other specialised firms where required to provide turn key solutions to our clients.
IRRIGATION DESIGN SERVICES
DGPS Surveying
A state-of-the-art surveying and asset collection tool that will help you to either:
Record your existing irrigation system assets and areas
Expand an existing system
Plan new systems
No matter what your situation, one thing is abundantly clear, purchasing an irrigation system purely on price can really cost you in the end, and upwards of $5,000 p.a. in water cost per hectare in a worst case example if the system does not match what you need and is not well planned.
With DGPS Surveying accurate planning is assured whether extending or altering an existing system or planning a new system. This means you avoid excessive cost of variations due to the accuracy of measurement.
The DGPS surveying can be used to accurately deploy the new irrigation system design ensuring you get exactly what was planned by the system designer.
Watering Uniformity Analysis
Under or over watering, is a serious problem, because not only does this waste water, it also devalues the area and its usability.
By measuring the evenness of watering from sprinklers you can adjust your schedules or replace part of a system or understand why you may need to replace an entire system.
We have the most statiscally accurate and repeatable system in the world for measuring sprinkler uniformity, the result of many hours of Research and Development.
Scheduling Assistance
We provide tools to end users to ensure irrigation scheduling guidelines are in line with our recommendations.
WATER ENGINEERING
For a variety of water reuse systems, such as: Stormwater harvesting, Effluent re-use and ASR schemes
We have engineered a number of reuse schemes for municipalities covering areas such as:
Determining Monthly and Annual Irrigation Volume requirements
Aquifer—storage and recovery schemes
Pumping stations and water treatment
Reticulation networks
Automation systems
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
If you lack the internal resources or expertise, we project manage complex projects from start to finish, with accurate reporting and forecasting.
PRECISION COURSE MANAGEMENT – GOLF COURSES
Resource management has become a defining issue for golf courses across Australia. Reliance upon membership numbers means that only the courses that provide a high quality experience, with good turf, greens and surroundings with lower costs, are the ones that will prosper.
There is very little penetration of technology in Golf course management, which hinders the development of consistent planning and its implementation.. Currently many find that it is a hit and miss proposition for best practice use of resources.
Precision course management planning enables best practice methods and generates improvements with:
Labour allocation
Fertiliser use
Chemical use
Printing out as laid location plans
Costing and consumption reporting by area
Improving Knowledge base
Chemical use tracking - Environmental
Add-value to members of courses
This is done through using a very simple software package and requires minimal training. Support is provided as an ongoing concern to help you gain the most from Precision Course Management.
IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT PLANNING (IMP)
The complexities around policymaking, legislation and governance for water management and capital works are becoming greater. We provide strategy planning and documentation for submission to gain approval, which works with up-to-date legal and policy requirements.
We also add some industry intelligence
Using Aquatek is to use an industry intelligence network that knows best practices in irrigation. Our expertise is taken and sought nationally and internationally from a whole cross section of irrigation professionals, environments and organisations.
This knowledge and industry intelligence can work for you with:
Capital development
Finance planning
Commercial tenders
Purchasing
Human Resources
IRRIGATION AUTOMATION
To make good quality decisions, you need to have good quality data. We provide a system that collects data for your centrally controlled irrigation management systems. Our industry experience enables us to provide a thorough implementation program for a central control system. Importantly we work with you to ensure your central irrigation system has the right data systems and processes to gain maximum return on your central irrigation control investment.
We work in partnership with the major central irrigation control companies in the world.
