Irri Maker
Irri Maker is the one-stop solution for irrigation system designers. From terrain survey, CAD work, and planning to hydraulic calculations and equipment reports, it’s got you covered. Today the digital terrain modeling software package is well known and widely used nationally in South Africa and internationally in the fields of land survey, engineering, mining, and construction. Since the beginning of its design in 1980 it has been continuously enhanced to keep it in line with industry demands and the latest computer technology. With the addition of an irrigation design module during 1998 it is now the only software package available that provides the user with user-friendly and well-supported functions for DTM, CAD, and Irrigation design in one package. The system operates independently of other commercial software and provides its own plotting and reporting capabilities. Full graphical control over automatic and manual development of micro, drip, and sprinkler irrigation networks.

IrriExpress
IrriExpress lets you design irrigation projects with pivots, sprinklers and drip using a simple, intuitive, and powerful program. It lets you evaluate installation alternatives in advance, survey any terrain, produce a contour plan, draw the details, and apply the irrigation design. Easy to use and flexible interface. Full irrigation system design. Easy to analyze and validate designs. Digital terrain modeling and computer-aided drafting. There is no need to manually calculate coordinates, reduce survey field books, or do manual plotting of the proposed terrain. IrriExpress converts survey data into a computerized DTM format using up to 9,000 survey points to generate a triangular surface model. It can also generate contour plans with data imported from ASCII coordinates, DXF, DWG, and GPS files. IrriExpress reports problems that can arise based on inputted upper and lower limits for different types of slopes and/or angles.

IrrigatePlus
Irrigateplus is a program based on Epanet that includes, in a single program, all the necessary tools for the design and calculation of irrigation systems. Irrigateplus allows for improved management and design of sprinkler irrigation, optimization of piping diameters, selection of pumping equipment, and efficient water management. Irrigateplus includes commercial catalogs of major manufacturers worldwide, which facilitates the election of rotors and sprays that best adapt to your needs. Its database manager allows for the quick and easy design of irrigation systems, saving you time and money. Irrigateplus has a simple and agile interface, which improves the process of designing and the productivity of your work. Its free version (without the commercial catalog) facilitates the use, exposure, and purchase of the software. Irrigateplus is a program developed specifically for the design and calculation of pressurized irrigation systems, without the need for other programs.
