DRAIN TILE INSTALLATION

Below, subsurface drain tile installed by a self propelled plow (left), a tractor-mounted pull-type plow (middle), and a single-wheel ditcher (right) are shown. In addition to these methods, a simple trench dug with an excavator or backhoe will do the job also. The size of tile, scope of the project, and infrastructure at hand are some of the main factors that help determine how we install drainage systems.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology offers the benefits of monitoring crop health and land conditions from a bird’s eye view. This can aid decision-making during the growing season by addressing issues before it is too late. In this example, soybean crop conditions were captured by one of our UAV's during the growing season.

TILE REPAIR

Repairing damaged or broken drain tiles is essential. Damaged tiles can be dug up and installed with new to ensure proper drainage and longevity. 

Preventative maintenance on drain tiles maintains good water and resource management. Not to mention, the impacts of malfunctioning drain tiles can be very significant- both environmentally and economically.

DRAINAGE ENGINEERING

Before any tile is installed, time spent behind the monitor designing is required. Following an in depth analysis of terrain data and history, we utilize our water management software to design a drainage plan. Photogrammetry, GNSS and LIDAR data are incorporated to formulate designs that provide the best drainage in a project.
