Turnkey Irrigation Projects Smart Pivot & Reel Hose Integration

In this mid-scale maize project, Metzer implemented a hybrid irrigation solution combining center pivots and reel hoses-optimized through a smart, fully automated water delivery system to ensure uniform coverage and efficient operation.

Location: Cambodia
Project Size: 175 ha
Crop: Corn
Irrigation Type: Pivot, Reel Hose

Challenge

Designing a fully automated irrigation solution using two irrigation methods—center pivot and reel hose—while sourcing water directly from a river and maintaining consistent pressure and filtration across all irrigation zones.

Resolution

Metzer ATC (Metzer-Group’s subsidiary in S.E. Asia) executed the hydraulic design and supplied both pivot and reel hose systems, supported by a floating pumping station on the river and a centralized pumping house. The project included full automation, two filtration systems, controlled hydraulic valves, and a complete piping network from river to field. A smart water supply layout ensured efficient distribution, and the project concluded with installation, run-up, and operator training.To ensure reliable water delivery, Metzer also constructed a floating pumping station at the water source, a reinforced pumping house, and a main pipeline network to feed all pivot units—overcoming elevation challenges and ensuring uniform pressure across the entire field.
