Turnkey Subsurface irrigation Efficient Strip Irrigation on Sloped Fields

An 82-hectare open-field irrigation system was deployed for pineapple cultivation using high-performance reel-hose systems, enabling mobility and precision across challenging terrain.

Location: Thailand
Project Size: 82 ha
Crop: Pineapples
Irrigation Type: Reel Hose

How We Made It Happen

Challenge

The field layout featured a 15% slope and required irrigation in strips, which ruled out conventional systems. Uniform water distribution across elevation changes and long field sections demanded a mobile, adaptable solution that could withstand tough environmental and hydraulic conditions.

Resolution

A full turnkey solution was completed, including system design, supply, installation, operator training, and after-sale service. Reel-hose systems with 90mm diameter and 350m hose length were selected for their range, flexibility, and ease of use. The result: reliable coverage, efficient strip irrigation, and improved water control on sloped terrain.
