Along with new vineyard developments an increasing need for redevelopment of old vineyards is growing each year with some other the original vines needing to be replaced. This is an opportune time to assess whether you irrigation system is providing you with the efficiency and management needs you require. A lot of irrigation equipment has come a long way over the last twenty years with improvement in technology especially dripline, Filtration and irrigation control and pump efficiency.
Improved dripper performance and filtration technology in dripline now offers a superior product to the above ground dripline which was first run out in Marlborough vineyards during the 80’s and in recent times with subsurface dripline which is seeing more interest in demand each year. Automatic self-cleaning filtration allows for a more hands off maintenance and with the development of remote management of irrigation controllers gives owner and managers the ability to have visibility and control of their systems while away from the vineyard. If you have questions about your irrigation and pumping systems performance or are thinking off improving efficiency and visibility Think Water Marlborough offer Auditing or key equipment assessments of systems.
Post harvest and over winter is the ideal time we can assist with this whether it be a system assessment and upgrade or winter maintenance on your pumping and irrigation systems to help assist with maximising production for the coming seasons. Being proactive about knowing how your system is going rather than reactive to issues when starting it up next summer can save a lot of stress and worry about potential loss in production for growers. Located on Grove Road, owner Greg Somerville and his professional team are only too happy to help.
