Northern Plains Drainage Systems Ltd products

Simple operation. Excellent performance. GLONASS enabled. Outstanding value. Our recommended system for farmers needing RTK accuracy for drainage and non-OEM guidance applications. We sell a lot of these systems to farmers because it’s often cheaper than the required updates and unlock codes required to upgrade existing OEM GPS to RTK. Simply setup the base station on the included tripod, connect to the included 12v battery, and after 3 button presses you’re RTK-ready in a few minutes. Of all the systems we’ve ever setup and sold, this is the one we’ve had the fewest issues with – it’s also the lowest cost. Hence it’s the one we sell the most of hands down!

The newest GNSS antenna from Hemisphere, the S321 is one of the best units available today. Feature-packed, it takes survey grade accuracy and functionality to a new level, and it’s intuitive user interface makes it much simpler to setup and operate than any other survey receiver we’ve ever used. Utilizing the latest Athena GNSS engine, the S321 converges to RTK fix in a matter of seconds, works extremely well in tough conditions such as near trees and buildings, and offers class-leading performance over long baselines – even up to 50km on our CORS network we’ve experienced 2″ or better repeatable accuracy and very fast convergence times.

Firstly we should point out that this isn’t an RTK receiver and currently we aren’t suggesting you use it to install tile drainage (though it’s on our radar to test the theory on fields with plenty of natural slope!). It’s a new offering from Hemisphere GNSS that brings survey-grade precision to precision agriculture via the Atlas™ Global Correction Service. Atlas offers further improved accuracy when compared to other subscription-based corrections currently used in agricultural applications. In fact, in our tests we found it very comparable to RTK for surface grading and equipment guidance and steering, often seeing 2cm accuracy.

We supply single wall pipe in maxi rolls in sizes from 3″ up to 15″ diameter. Pipe is available in a variety of perforations, as well as with sock barrier, and non-perforated configuration. Please contact us for more information regarding roll lengths and the most suitable form for your soil and project specifications.

Dual wall pipe is supplied in 20′ lengths. The smooth interior offers superior flow capacity over single-wall pipe, and the rigid structure is a lot more durable, making it the best choice where pipes will be laid into trenches. Contact us with any questions and for pricing and delivery timelines for your location.

ADS lift stations are renowned as the best in the industry. We can supply common configurations from our yard stock or can have units within a few days if we don’t have what you need in stock, and can have custom specifications made up on demand.

We can supply a range of VFD (variable frequency drive) or standard pumps and control systems for use in lift station applications.
