Mirani Waste Water Project

Project details

Bowman's Earthmoving completed an innovative irrigation project on Kauiroo Station, situated on the Mackenzie River near the rural township of Dingo. Our crew worked 24/7 to deliver a full-scale design and construct an irrigation system of over 250 acres. We carried out surveying of the existing field and redesigned the contours to flood-rigidity the area after using our GPS field levelling equipment to level the cropping area. Afterwards, we utilised 'Padman Stops' watering systems in the irrigation channel to eliminate the labour requirement for the traditional hand syphoning system. The channel at the top of the paddock has a 10mm fall every 100m and has an outlet for the irrigation water every 100 rows. The client has the ability to irrigate three sections at a time 300 rows of crop by opening 3 Padman stops manually or automatically, eliminating all hand syphoning required for the paddock.
