How We Made It Happen

Challenge

Following the demining of agricultural land in the Kyiv region, the client faced the urgent task of restoring potato cultivation across 140 hectares. Efficient water use, system durability, and technical reliability were essential to ensure stable yields and reduce operational risks.

Resolution

Metzer installed a complete drip irrigation system using its own Layflat piping and driplines, supported by a diesel pumping station and a newly built mainline. Filtration, flow control, and automation were installed and commissioned as well. The system was delivered turnkey, including on-site staff training—ensuring long-term performance and ease of operation.
