IRRIGATION (Click on thumbnail to see video)

Overview (35 sec)

For a project of any size, Land F/X will provide the placement tools, manufacturer’s data, symbol library, and pipe size calculations to produce irrigation plans in record time. Plans are produced accurately, without worrying about symbols, scales, data and calculations. 

Placing Heads (35 sec)

Place heads quickly and efficiently with Land F/X’s placement tools, access equipment from all the major manufacturers, and have radius patterns drawn for the design pressure. Eleven families of spray head symbol and fifteen rotor symbols to chose from to match the look you desire.

Circuiting (45 sec)

Easily and rapidly group your irrigation heads for valving, and Land F/X will tally the total GPM’s. The circuiting calculator will assist the designer in the most efficient manner in grouping irrigation sprayheads and rotors for valving.

Automatic Lateral and Mainline Sizing (1 min 15 sec)

An irrigation system that has data connected to CAD components can result in clear and accurate documentation. Watch and see just how quickly Land F/X can automatically size irrigation laterals and mainlines.

Drip (1 min 30 sec)

The Land F/X drip irrigation system automatically scans an Xref of the planting plan to assign a specific number of emitters to each individual plant, and it will automatically calculate the system's GPM requirements.

Error Checking (40 sec)


Error checking looks for any equipment that is not properly piped. Extensive reports are available at the click of a button.  You will wonder how you ever did irrigation plans without it.

Automatic Schedule and Detail (30 sec)

Irrigation schedules and detail references are quickly and accurately generated. The Land F/X schedule dialog box provides a wide range of options for how the schedules are to be presented.

Reports (20 sec)

A variety if reports are generated automatically by Land F/X’s project manager for clarity and accuracy: watering schedule reports, system critical analysis of pressure and flow, and valve schedule reports listing valve requirements.

Revisions and Changes (50 sec)

A flexible system that allows you to change virtually any irrigation equipment after it has been placed: from its scale, to its specification, design pressure, symbol, size, etc.
