Optimal irrigation engineering design changes with terrain, water source, power, crops, and operations. Learn how to specify fit-for-purpose, optimized irrigation and why manufacturer support makes or breaks performance.
Buying a farm without a pre-purchase status quo assessment, feasibility study, and irrigation masterplan is guessing. Use venture capital-style due diligence to quantify water risk, capex, and ROI before you sign.
Irrigation design has real cost and risk. Learn how a registered professional engineer improves optimisation, professionalism, and risk mitigation for farm irrigation projects.
A good irrigation or water supply system has 4 dimensions: uniformity, scheduling, depth, and lifetime cost. Learn why designing for minimum OPEX beats minimum CAPEX, and how pipe and pump choices drive lifecycle cost.
Irrigation Efficiency. Water Use Efficiency. Energy Efficiency. What does it all mean?
Turnkey irrigation projects hide risk: biased design, unclear scope, expensive variations. Learn when to separate irrigation design and supply for clearer specs, comparable quotes, and better ROI.
Before you rip out working irrigation, audit performance. Learn the management checks: targets, scheduling, pressure/flow and maintenance that prevent expensive upgrade mistakes.
Intensive. Extensive. Pumpstations. Drip. Pivots. Micros. What on earth is going on?
We offer three level of service packages for irrigation design: Essential, Professional and Enterprise.
The Ant Implementation Method (AIM - who doesn't love a sexy acronym) delivers world class, professionally designed irrigation systems that are easy to manage and minimize lifecycle cost. Here is how we make things happen.
What on am I supposed to do with a 10 cm grid point cloud of 10 000 ha?
As the capital cost of the system increases, the operating cost decreases. However, eventually the benefit of the reduced operating cost is outweighed by the increased capital cost. Lifecycle cost analysis is finding the sweet spot for each unique system.
My long-term vision for Ant Consult is a future where we work alongside you as a valued partner, providing technical assistance in building your operation into a legacy that you will be proud of.
