The benefits of effective land drainage
Agriculture & Viticulture Land Drainage:
Maximise crop performance and field usability with our land drainage system.
FGS Pilcher has completed numerous land drainage projects throughout the South East for farmers and landowners.
Our Mastenbroek 30/20 is equipped with laser and GPS guidance for precision levelling and accurate trenching.
Our trenchers are supported by two Mastenbroek GT8 gravel hoppers with adjustable discharge conveyors, towed by tractors. This configuration ensures clean, precise trench backfilling and efficient site progress.
Our operations are delivered by trained and knowledgeable professionals who ensure each project is both technically sound and precisely delivered.
Sports Field, Golf Course & Estate Drainage:
From school fields to professional sports grounds, golf courses to large gardens and estates, we deliver tailored drainage systems that enhance surface conditions and minimise downtime. Our approach balances performance with long-term sustainability.
Our Mastenbroek 10/12 trencher is fitted with laser levelling technology and a soil displacement conveyor making it ideal for working in gardens and on sports fields. Its compact nature ensures efficient installation with minimal disruption to the playing surface when paired with our tractor towed gravel hoppers that are fitted with adjustable discharge conveyors.
Utility Trenching:
To maximise plant utilisation, FGS Pilcher applies trenching technology to a wide range of non agricultural settings, including:
- Water mains and irrigation systems
- Temporary drainage for site compounds and haul roads (prolonging the useable life of surfaces over un-drained ground)
- Service cable and communications pipes
- Statutory and private utility work
Our trenchers deliver notable advantages over traditional excavation:
- Up to 2,500 metres of trenching per day
- Trench widths as narrow as 100mm
- Reduced environmental impact and lower reinstatement costs
They can provide the perfect solution in complex or interrupted sites like solar farms and vineyards, providing unmatched speed, precision, and efficiency.
Drain Jetting:
Using high-pressure drain jetting equipment, we clean and maintain existing drainage systems, restoring flow and preventing costly blockages or flooding issues.
We have a tractor mounted drain jetter capable of clearing field drains of muck and dirt. Our tractor is fitted with flotation tires enabling us to reach wet areas with minimal compaction. Our drain jetter is fitted with a 300m length hose enabling us to clean out a fair length of drain. Drain jetting is a very effective and non-invasive way to clear drains of blockages and debris that may have built up. Regular drain jetting will ensure that your drains will flow smoothly when they are needed moving water from the field into the drainage channel.
