Solutions

LIMAK provide turnkey irrigation solutions for our clients. Our irrigation engineers starts from the first step of designing your irrigation system.

Before starting the implementation; we carry out “Project Study” to confirm being in line with customer demands, taking into account the topography of the site, soil characteristics, water source characteristics, plant species to be planted and water needs.

We check the suitability of the project to the land by taking the most accurate and precise measurements with field visits.

We are setting up a turnkey system for irrigation planning and determination of all mechanical needs for precise irrigation.

Surface Irrigation (Furrow) System

“Surface irrigation” refers to a gravity-fed application of water to crops through a system of canals, dams, and furrows or basins that can be opened or blocked off as needed. Surface irrigation with basins is the most common irrigation method for fruit trees, and surface irrigation with furrows is the most common method for row crops. Currently, surface irrigation is the most commonly used type of irrigation system for agriculture, accounting for 85% of the world’s irrigated land. Advantages of this system are:

Usually results in a higher yield

Saves time and labor

Low installation cost

Saves money on water

Sprinkler Irrigation System

In sprinkler irrigation systems, water flows through a series of pipes and is delivered in a fine spray to specific areas. Micro sprinklers are particularly effective for tree crops. They also use less water and are cheaper to run. Advantages of this system are:

Affordable and easy to set up

Allows even distribution of water

Easy to covers large areas

Water at your chosen time of day to minimize evaporation

Drip Irrigation System

Drip irrigation is a technique in which water flows through a filter into special drip pipes, with emitters located at different spacing. Water is distributed through the emitters directly into the soil near the roots through a special slow-release device.

The system delivers water directly the roots gradually over time. Drip irrigation proved to be very effective for many reasons, including easy implementation and maintenance in addition of saving water as much as possible.

Centre Pivot Irrigation

Centre pivot irrigation system is self-propelled and works with the use of a central pipe with outlets rotating around a central pivot point. It works like the sprinkler irrigation system, but it is much bigger and is supported by steel or aluminum towers. Advantages of this system is that:

Water is distributed evenly

Covers large areas in a short period of time

Prevents water runoff

Operates at a lower pressure saving energy
