In vandag se boerdery omstandighede is dit belangriker as ooit om effektiewe water bestuur toe te pas op gewas verbouing. Met kostes wat weghardloop en fluktuerende gewas pryse moet risiko op alle fasette van die boerdery beperk word. Met effektiewe waterbestuur en meer spesifiek dreinering kan risiko verlaag word en opbrengs verhoog word. Alhoewel dreinering […]
COME JOIN US AT NAMPO Agri Drainage will once again be at Nampo with a live subsurface drainage demonstration. Come and see first hand why you should consider Agri Drainage as you subsurface drainage solution. GET TICKETS SUBSURFACE DRAINAGE The permanent solution to the problem is to install subsurface drainage, which pays for itself. It […]
APRIL 2017 IN THIS EDITION WE SHARE CASE STUDIES Of SEVERE WATER DAMAGE TO LAND. CASE STUDY 1: IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM Water management on fields is essential. The image to the right is a good example of a field In need of Subsurface drainage. As you can see, the water is dammed up beside the […]
LEADING THE WAY WITH RTK-GPS TECHNOLOGY The Question often arises: Just how accurate is Drainage installation done with the modern “Tileplow” (Trenchless Plough)? After such a discussion at a recent contractor’s meeting in the USA Dr Jim Fouss (Ph.D P.E, (well respected, retired research engineer at Ohio State University and USDA) did a study to […]
Die Geldenhuys Broers Ons is twee broers wat die besigheid in 2011 begin het. As 5de generasie boere het ons in Noord KZN geboer waar daar ‘n groot probleem is met dreinering as gevolg van die hoë reënval. Ons het dreinering geïnstalleer op gedeeltes van ons lande en daar die voordeel van die dreinering besef. […]
However, we do not live in a perfect world and faults on products used and installed do occasionally occur. This is why it is of great importance to us to offer a product with a full lifecycle & are therefore willing to carry out additional work post installation. For most of us we reflect back […]

SURFACE DRAINAGE INVOLVES MANAGING OF WATER FLOW & WATER DIRECTION ON YOUR FIELD TO ELIMINATE PONDING & DRY SPOTS. ADVANTAGES OF LAND FORMING 1.COST EFFECTIVE Land forming is more cost effective than traditional methods. 4.COMPACTING SOIL Land forming is more cost effective than traditional methods. 2.EVEN DESIGN more even design results in only the necessary […]
Specialized planning is followed by a detailed design process to determine the best drainage solution for the client’s specific needs. SURFACE DRAINAGE During the design of surface drainage we make use of the latest software to simulate rainfall and using the determined results we start the design to prevent ponding and erosion in the field. […]
AGRI DRAINAGE CAN PROVIDE EFFECTIVE WATER MANAGEMENT Due to the accuracy of the LiDar survey done on the land, as discussed in our previous newsletter, we can now determine whether the problem is surface or subsurface and perform a detailed analysis of the farm as a whole as well as provide in-depth details on specific […]
