Burnewang North
The client approached RRID seeking advice on establishing irrigation for the provision of drought proofing areas of their farm, predominantly used for the rearing of stud race horses.
After consultation with the client, we performed a farm survey to determine the dimensions of the areas required for irrigation and also to complete a formal drainage and reuse system to service the entire property.
After several interactions with the client the final design was signed off and RRID was invited to quote for the infrastructure required to implement the design.
In conjunction with local contractors, RRID installed the main line and hydrant hardware, including new pump station and liaison with power core for the implementation of a new 300kVA transformer and infeed lines to service the system.
The system was designed to incorporate supply from both the Goulburn Murray water supply system and a supply from the Campaspe River at the other end of the property.
The system allows for the use of 3 T61 Rainstar Hardhose Irrigators, which are moved around the property and attached to pre-installed hydrants at each location. The client has found this system to be invaluable in maintaining the green pastures they rely on for a successful horse breeding program.
Ravensworth Station – Maude
Ravensworth is a long-established, large irrigation property that specialises in cotton, feed crops and cattle feedlots.
The part of the property relevant to the project was approximately 2500ha in size and roughly rectangular in shape. It was discovered that a 48.2ha triangle of the property in the north-west corner had been fenced off long ago and was occupied by the neighbouring station. At same time, a 86.6ha portion in the south-east corner was occupied by Ravensworth but owned by the neighbours.
Due to the large size of the boundaries involved, the integrated use of our Trimble R8 GPS surveying equipment with our traditional Total Station theodolites allowed us to complete the task in an accurate and timely manner.

The client contacted RRID to assess and complete farm planning on a property he had recently purchased. RRID undertook a whole farm survey and completed an assessment of the existing irrigation infrastructure on the property. In conjunction with the client, RRID generated a proposed development plan for the property, which included the installation of a Bauer 720-metre
Centerfeed Linear Move Irrigator, 100-megalitre on-farm storage and associated supply and drainage infrastructure.
RRID then designed and quoted the supply of the Bauer Linear Move Irrigator before constructing and commissioning it. This included testing of all operational parameters and auditing of the sprinkler application to confirm the machine’s ability to deliver as per the design.
Torrumbarry Estate
Torrumbarry Estate approached RRID to upgrade an existing river pump on the Victorian side of the Murray River with a new supply pipeline through adjoining landholdings, national park, creeks and a major highway.
