At Price Merrett Consulting we can work with you to design a Pipe & Riser System to suit your farm needs. We can establish a Whole Farm Plan or alter your existing farm plan to account for the new system. A Pipe & Riser System can keep up with your high flow demands, with the ability to operate multiple outlets at the one time.

The idea of the Pipe & Riser System is to replace your existing on-farm open channel with a piped network, with riser outlets replacing your existing bay outlets. this in turn reduces water losses and seepage. Your new Pipe & Riser System can be manual, semi-automated or fully automated, and with the pipelines flexibility it can efficiently cover your specific farm shape.

Price Merrett Consulting can design an appropriate Pump System and set up to suit your irrigation needs. We take on the process of surveying your area, designing a system based on your needs, and project manage the construction of your Pump System. PMC can design Pump Systems for:

~Pipe & Risers

Price Merrett Consulting has expertise in pressurised irrigation and can help you with your upgrading and modernization needs in this field, particularly when you want to install a Centre Pivot Irrigation System. We can help to survey your irrigation area and design a system that will best suit your needs.

Price Merrett Consulting can determine and design the best system to meet your needs based on your farm characteristics such as; soil properties, crop type and rotation, topography, existing infrastructure, and your water source. Subsurface Drip Irrigation, as the name suggests, works below the surface, allowing water to be delivered directly to the plants roots.

This precise application also allows for fertigation which in turn can save you time and labour. We can also design your waste water disposal system to allow for subsurface drip disposal, allowing your waste water to water your lawn or gardens, saving you time and water.
