In agriculture, efficient water management is crucial, especially when it comes to irrigation
Yet, a persistent pain point for many Australian farmers has been the lack of adequate resources to maintain and repair large, vital irrigation pumps.
The necessity for dependable water delivery systems becomes more pressing as these systems are often the lifeline of expansive farming operations.
For many agricultural cooperatives, the downtime associated with broken or inefficient pumps can jeopardise the irrigation of thousands of acres, impacting crop yields and, by extension, the livelihood of the farming community.
Traditional solutions often suggest replacing malfunctioning equipment—a costly and time-consuming process.
Moreover, the challenge is compounded when onsite repair expertise and facilities are insufficient to handle the complexities of large-scale irrigation equipment.
Recognising these challenges, Motion’s Engineering and Services Team has developed a robust in-house solution that not only addresses the repair of these large pumps but also ensures their prolonged efficiency and reliability.
Motion’s approach is encapsulated in the philosophy of “Don’t replace, repair,” supported by comprehensive service that extends beyond mere maintenance.
This full-service includes preventive maintenance under the assurance of “we fix it once,” eliminating the need for frequent repairs and thereby reducing long-term operational costs.
A compelling case study of Motion’s expertise can be seen through the work with an irrigation cooperative in Western Queensland.
This cooperative, crucial for providing irrigation to a large community of farmers, faced significant challenges with a failing pump system that controlled the regional water supply.
