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.
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 (a subsidiary of Metzer-Group in Southeast Asia) carried out the hydraulic design and provided both pivot and reel hose systems, supported by a floating pumping station on the river and a centralized pumping house. The project featured full automation, two filtration systems, controlled hydraulic valves, and a complete piping network from the river to the field. An intelligent water supply layout ensured efficient distribution, and the project was completed with installation, commissioning, and operator training. To guarantee reliable water delivery, Metzer also built a floating pumping station at the water source, a reinforced pumping house, and a main pipeline network to supply all pivot units—overcoming elevation differences and ensuring consistent pressure throughout the entire field.
