What is IrriExpress?
|
Quick and comprehensive analysis of hydraulics are done with IrriExpress. Pressure at each valve and mainline are shown with the ability to update the pump pressure as necessary. IrriExpress also has the ability for you to assign shifts in your irrigation design to conserve power and cost. The visual graph quickly shows and alerts the designer to any issues with the irrigation system. |
Your irrigation project is customized to your location and elevation points from Google Maps are imported seamlessly.

IrriExpress gives you the ability to analyze the kinks, sprinkler clearance and terrain of the pivots on your design. The software can report on problems that will arise based on your inputted upper and lower limits for different types of slopes. |
IrriExpress allows you to create either solid set or drip layouts in your irrigation design, allowing you to calculate the needed pressure, optimal pipe sizes and velocity for each block. | ![]() |

IrriExpress has multiple important labels to show node pressure, pipe velocity and pipe diameter with the ability to customize any label. Reports will alert you to where your velocity or node pressures are too high or too low. This error checking gives you confidence in your design. |
After the complete design of your project you can create multiple PDF reports quickly to take your design to others. Zoom in to different locations and add notes to each page to create a overall view of your irrigation design. IrriExpress strives to give you the best answers while saving you time in designing your project. |
