Project background:

Irrigation material for 6 Ha vine rootstock and 8 Ha vine nursery.

The system is totally automated with fertilizer systems at three different positions on the farm.

The fertilizer systems are fully computer controlled and are applied proportionally to flow.

The fertigation system consists of A, B and C tanks with mixing tanks that dissolve the fertilizer before it is applied by the fertilizer pumps controlled by VSD exactly according to the required need.

New main lines and filter stations where established.

Bergrivier Besproeiing designed, supplied and installed the pump stations, fertilizer stations and filter stations.

Total automation was designed and installed by Bergrivier Besproeiing.

We also designed and supplied the main lines and drip system, but the client installed himself.
