The aim of farm drainage is to improve the soil environment to provide favourable growing conditions in the root zone for high producing pastures and crops.

For your drainage to be successful many factors need to be considered in the planning stage. When assessing which drainage system to use, its design and its implementation is key to the project’s success and that’s where Keith Nicoll Pipelines can help.

Our preference is to provide a free of charge design and quote of the entire project, we are then happy to provide guidance on where we think the first stage should be undertaken, in the case of a system installed in stages over many years, as is commonly the case.

This can be a very simple or complex answer depending on the site. We have the experience and the equipment to deal with most situations. Factors often considered are, soil type, crop type, outlet points, natural topography, budget, and shape of the site. This influences, pipe sizes and types, depths, backfill materials, pipe spacings, pumped or gravity options etc.

We are a team of experts with years of experience across horticulture and agriculture landscapes. We have completed several projects that have been considered to be unsalvageable. These farms have resulted in high production apple, kiwifruit, cropping and pastoral blocks.
