Landforming - Vantage-AU

LAND FORMING
Effectively manage ponding and erosion and open up more farmable hectares with our solutions backed by Trimble technology.

Landforming Solutions

How water moves across a field is just as important as water itself. Our land forming solution enables you the ability to streamline the survey, design, and levelling steps necessary to effectively level your field to the necessary slope. Ensure your crops have the adequate amount of water they require to get the most out of your investment.

Reduce Erosion and Unlock more Farmable Land

Planar laser leveling is a proven method for leveling fields for irrigation, but how do you manage ponding and inconsistent drainage on dry or pivot-irrigated land in a cost-effective way?

Vantage Australia is a leader in water management, offering the industry’s top end-to-end land forming solution for effective water management, powered by cutting-edge technology.

Our Field Level II system and accompanying OptiSurface land forming software allow you to optimise your field surfaces and improve your bottom line. Here’s how it works.

1. Survey

Using the Trimble TMX-2050 display and the Vertical Point RTK correction service for sub 25mm vertical accuracy, precisely map your fields; create boundaries, interior points, and surfaces with ease; and calculate and report on the true acreage of your survey area for optimal field coverage and accurate surface designs.

2. Design

Loading your accurate topographical survey into our land forming software, our experienced designers will produce a number of landform optimisation options giving you the ability to choose a design that balances your drainage requirements and budgets.

Landform design for improved drainage and erosion control is about getting the optimal drainage design for the minimal amount of earthworks. When compared to planar laser levelling, our service can save up to 80% on earthworks costs, because the aim is not to totally level the surface, but to optimise.

Because most crop yield losses are due to too much water, we aim to optimise the water across the field. This also allows farmers to get on the field and plant earlier due to minimal or no boggy patches. Better retention of topsoil slows down the water flow where necessary or drains that erode less are included into the landform design.

3. Earthworks

Once you select your preferred design, a control file is uploaded to the Field Level II system installed on your grading equipment. As you move across the field the system will automatically control the hydraulic valves on any type of bucket or scraper for accurate land forming.
