Take a comprehensive approach to drainage

When you want to make the most of every field, Trimble is up to the challenge.

Soils that are well-drained provide a wide range of benefits for your farm. From start to finish, Trimble's subsurface drainage solutions help you to take a more comprehensive approach to your next project, so you can save time and money.

Survey
collapse icon

Easily collect and import 3D field data with Trimble’s WM-Survey II™ app, WM-Topo™ survey system or your TMX-2050™ display system.

  • Use the TMX-2050 display system to record boundaries, section line alignments and interior data of the field.
Analyse
collapse icon

Analyse the 3D field data using WM-Subsurface™ design software to make better informed drainage decisions and plans.

  • View data from any angle and exaggerate the vertical to visualise the shape and slopes of the field
  • Determine the various watershed zones of the field to assist with main, sub-main and lateral pipe placement
  • Configure contours at any interval to display the topography and relative elevations
  • Enable flow arrows and tributary lines to assist with tracing the natural surface water flows
  • View the field analysis over the top of aerial images to review your data in another context
Design
collapse icon

Design and verify a complete 3D drainage system using WM-Subsurface design software or design drainage lines on-the-go without having to leave your vehicle.

  • Use WM-Subsurface drawing tools to tie laterals to mains, create parallel lateral spacings and clip drainage lines
  • In WM-Subsurface design software or on your TMX-2050 display system, allow Autoslope to produce optimal depth designs for a more consistent water table (which helps to minimise nutrient loss)
  • Verify that the pipe network will successfully drain to the main plug socket before beginning the installation
Install
collapse icon

Take your drainage designs back to the field and utilise the WM-Drain® solution’s module on your TMX-2050 display system with Trimble’s 3D machine control technology for precise installation of your pipe or surface ditches.

  • Control depth automatically, ensuring pipe and ditches are installed to the design
  • Control the boot pitch automatically on parallel link ploughs, providing complete control of the machine and ensuring the best accuracy possible
  • Switch to Point and Slope mode for manual slope control and installation or when using pitch-only control during RTK dropouts to ensure completion of drainage runs even in adverse satellite conditions
  • Use GNSS RTK combined with T3™ Enhanced Terrain Compensation Technology for roll-corrected 3D positioning
  • Recalculate design on-the-go when the plough hits unexpected underground obstacles
  • Map the as-applied drainage lines while installing to keep as a record for aiding with invoicing and locating installed pipes in the future
Map
collapse icon

Map the true location of your installed drainage pipes or ditches and utilise the records for future maintenance or drainage expansion projects.

  • Automatically log 3D drain maps synchronously while the drainage machine is being controlled by the WM-Drain solution
  • Transfer the mapped data using Trimble Ag Software to WM-Subsurface design software, where it will be stored as an independent layer
