About 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.

IrriRT
IrriRT is the new product for designing irrigation systems for landscapes, parks, and vertical and multi-level structures. An advanced tool for professional projects. System efficiency and irrigation quality. Full control of the materials to be installed. IrriRT is a professional solution for architects, engineers, landscapers, and green design technicians. Create your project starting from a CAD plan or by performing the 3D survey directly from the GIS console available in IrriRT. The software will guide you through all the design phases, automatic tools will allow a quick design of the network, the correct size of the pipes, and the appropriate choice of all the components of a system. Both drip systems are integrated into the pipe and inserted externally. Sprinklers, mini-sprinklers, sprayers, pop-ups and foggers. Any element of the system can be used (pump, filters, fittings, valves, drains, and vents).

IrriPro
Professional solution for quickly designing irrigation systems for agriculture. Efficient systems for quality irrigation. IrriPro is the most powerful and reliable software for agriculture and greenhouses, capable of accurately predicting the functioning of the irrigation system before it is built or improving existing systems. Both drip systems are integrated into the pipe and inserted externally (online). Sprinklers, cannon sprinklers, mini-sprinklers, spray, pop-up and misting sprinklers. Any element of the system can be used (pump, filters, fittings, valves, drains, vents, etc.) Thanks to the integrated Google Maps service, the software is able to obtain a terrain survey without moving from your PC. Once the boundaries of the land and the desired route of the main pipe have been traced, IrriPro will automatically design the entire irrigation network, also choosing the dimensions of the pipes for you.
