De Hoek

Project background:
Irrigation material for 80 Ha Table Grapes.
Bergrivier Besproeiing designed, supplied and installed the irrigation system. There were no pumps, filters or pipelines on the farm. We were responsible to design and implement a complete system.
The system includes underground drainage, pumping station / filter station, fertilizer dosing, drip irrigation and automation. Bergrivier Besproeiing’s workshop installed the pumps and filters.
We hired the contractor who does the main lines, drip, etc. installed. A canal, which feeds the Voëlvlei dam, runs through the farm. For the main lines, our workshop built bridges, 18m long, to be able to lay the pipes over this canal.
