The most significant of new feature in OptiSurface Designer Version 1.3 is the ability to incorporate multiple valleys and ridges into an OptiSurface 2D design. This means that for complex topography where you are farming with furrows but you dont want the furrows to drain out each end of the field, you can add ‘valley’…

Did you see Optisurface.com written on the moon last night? In a light hearted way, Google has personally thanked OptiSurface for our contribution to supporting them upon their 10th anniversary. I wish they thanked me with some of their shares at the price 10years ago but this will have to do I guess. They wrote…
Example of a property in Victoria with a 10cm ponding analysis wrapped over a 3 dimensional topographic model (Vertical Scale exeragerated.) We have recently begun working with OptiSurface Designer software to develop efficient surface landforming designs for irrigation and dryland agriculture. We see huge potential for this software in areas prone to water-logging and…
Prominent Victorian lettuce growers Tripod Farmers have enlisted the services of BMS LaserSat to implement the installation of a Trimble RTK GPS/GNSS FieldLevel2 3D machine control levelling system to be fitted to their recently purchased NH T8040 tractor and 3200 JNR scraper to be used in conjunction with Optisurface Designer for their row/bay raised sprinklers…
News release, 27 July, 2010, Queensland DPI Farmers who have invested in 2 cm accuracy RTK Global Positioning System (GPS) auto-steer tractor guidance technology have the added bonus of being able to collect highly accurate elevation data to map cost-effective drainage lines and erosion control structures. When this topography data is combined with satellite imagery,…
Version 1.1 of OptiSurface Designer will be released within the next week. This version includes new features and significant improvements including: New Runoff Analysis feature that allows simulation of water depth and velocity – for examining erosion hotspots New Edit Proposed Topography with points and breaklines…
Davco Farming completed 800ha (2000acres) of Optisurface Landforming in 2009 on ‘Oaky’ in North Queensland, Australia. The area is made up of 9 fields of approximately 88ha each which will be irrigated by lateral move and/or subsurface drip irrigation. The design surfaces are made up of OptiSurface 1D (single direction drainage) and OptiSurface 2D (two…
Attached pdf document that shows an Optisurface Design Report for a field in Washington State, US to be converted to grow blueberrys on raised beds. Upgraded Drainage Analysis feature in Optisurface Designer showed how the ponding areas were to increase from 8% of field to 48% of field when the raised beds were added. This…
