Just a couple of pictures of the irrigation equipment I help design at work. I'm an Engineer at Pierce and we manufacture center pivot and linear irrigation systems. I dabble in structural design but most of my time is spent on the electrical systems and controls.
This example shows one of our CP600 center pivots over a field to be planted with potatoes. This pivot covers approximately 150 acres in one revolotution (6.5 hours per revolution) and will deliver 600-1500 gallons per minute, depending on the sprinkler pack chosen by the customer.
