Turnkey Subsurface irrigation Delivering 5 pivots systems & infrastructure
In 2022, five centre-pivot irrigation systems were delivered and installed in Ukraine’s Odesa region by Metzer. The turnkey project included full infrastructure development, remote control integration, and complementary drip irrigation in non-covered areas—ensuring maximum field coverage and irrigation efficiency.
Location:
Ukraine
Project Size:
600 ha
Crop:
Soy beans
Irrigation Type:
Pivot
How We Made It Happen
Challenge
Establishing center pivot irrigation across multiple sites required more than machine delivery. Each location needed a tailored design, new infrastructure, and the integration of multiple irrigation types to ensure full field coverage—while providing training and support to farm personnel for long-term operational success.
Resolution
Between May and July 2022, five pivot systems were installed alongside the complete development of supporting infrastructure, including earthworks, main pipelines, and control systems. Metzer provided consultation, project design, installation, and commissioning, while also training hydraulic engineers and operators. Where pivot coverage was limited, subsurface or surface drip systems were installed to maximize efficiency and productivity across the entire cultivated area.

Fully Automated subsurface drip Irrigation
A 398-hectare subsurface drip irrigation project, commissioned in 2022, brought cutting-edge automation and engineering to open-field farming in Ukraine. Designed across eight irregular fields, the system integrates advanced pumping, filtration, fertigation, and control technologies—delivering efficient, long-term irrigation performance once reserved for greenhouses, now applied to corn and soy.
