Turnkey Irrigation Projects Automated Pivot Irrigation Across Sloped Terrain

This large-scale maize project in Cambodia showcases Metzer’s ability to deliver comprehensive pivot irrigation solutions in challenging topographies. Spanning nearly 700 hectares, the system was tailored to ensure efficiency, reliability, and full automation across varied terrain

Location: Cambodia
Project Size: 682 ha
Crop: Corn
Irrigation Type: Pivot

Challenge

Steep terrain and large-scale coverage demanded a robust and efficient irrigation system capable of consistent water distribution and centralized control. An additional challenge was the delivery of water from a distant reservoir to multiple pivot points across the site

Resolution

Metzer ATC (Metzer-Group’s subsidiary in S.E. Asia) delivered a fully automated system comprising 11 center pivots, each with a 20-hour rotation cycle. The comprehensive scope included land survey, hydraulic design, supply, installation, system commissioning, 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.
