agricultural DESIGN & SURVEYING
Parker Earthmoving has the capability to deploy and provide a large range of earthmoving services throughout Victoria and New South Wales.
IRRIGATION DESIGN
Irrigation layouts for dairy, broadacre, rice and cotton farms.
Irrigation Design is crucial for effective agricultural practices.
Parker Earthmoving specializes in Irrigation Design, ensuring optimal water use and farming practices.
A well-planned irrigation layout ensures even water distribution and efficient use of supply. We assess levels, fall and paddock design to create systems that are practical and easy to manage.
From new developments to redevelopments, our layouts focus on long-term performance, operational simplicity and water-use efficiency.
With our Irrigation Design expertise, we create efficient farm layouts tailored to your needs.
Irrigation Design plays a vital role in enhancing overall farm performance and Ultimately, the goal of good irrigation design is to create a layout that is efficient, practical to operate and built for long-term farm productivity.
RAISED BED DESIGN
Raised beds in 2 or 3 metre spacings can enormously improve crop yields in wet seasons.
Raised beds lift the crop root zone above the natural surface and form defined furrows to move excess water away more efficiently. This reduces the time roots sit in saturated soil and lowers the risk of waterlogging.
When properly designed, raised beds improve soil aeration, early crop establishment and overall yield consistency in high rainfall environments.
Implementing an effective raised bed design is essential for maximising farm performance.
Southern Farming Systems provides extensive research and field trial data on raised bed farming systems used across southern Australia, including drainage performance, crop yields and soil management practices.
Raised bed systems are particularly effective in areas with heavy soils or high rainfall, where conventional farming systems can remain saturated for extended periods. By creating controlled drainage pathways between beds, excess water can be removed quickly while the crop remains on a well-drained surface.
We design raised bed layouts that integrate with modern farm machinery and controlled traffic systems. Bed widths and tramline spacing can be tailored to suit common machinery widths, helping maintain consistent traffic lanes and reducing soil compaction.
DRAIN DESIGN
Drain Design to carry water off your field.
Our Drain Design complements our Irrigation Design and Raised Bed Designs for comprehensive water management.
Effective drainage starts with understanding how water naturally moves across your paddock. We design surface drains that safely direct water away without impacting neighbouring land or other areas of your property.
Well-designed drains improve trafficability, reduce waterlogging and protect soil structure, ensuring long-term paddock performance in both average and wet seasons.
Our drainage layouts are designed to integrate with existing farm operations. Drains are positioned to minimise disruption to cropping patterns, machinery access and fence lines while still providing effective water removal during heavy rainfall events.
Using GPS survey equipment and experienced design staff, we can accurately set drain grades and alignments so water flows efficiently and as well as minimising earthworks costs. This ensures drains remain functional and low-maintenance over the long term.
FARM SURVEYING
Farm Surveying is the first step in any farm development.
Farm Surveying is integral to developing a successful Irrigation Design and Raised Bed Systems.
Understanding your land starts with accurate levels and mapping. A detailed survey identifies overall topography, water outlet heights, drainage points and existing site conditions so you can properly plan future works.
PEM provides clear, reliable survey data that helps you avoid costly mistakes, improve efficiency and confidently decide the best way to move forward with your development.
This information forms the foundation for effective irrigation layouts, drainage systems and raised bed design.
We use advanced techniques in our Irrigation Design and raised bed development process for better land utilization.
