About

Learn to design efficient and cost-effective irrigation systems using Autodesk Civil 3D’s powerful pipe network and pressure pipe tools. This course covers everything from basic irrigation principles to advanced system design and hydraulic analysis.

You’ll master the techniques for designing both drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, understanding how to properly size pipes, calculate head losses, and ensure uniform water distribution. The course includes real-world projects for agricultural irrigation, landscape irrigation, and sports field systems.

Through practical exercises, you’ll learn to model complete irrigation networks in Civil 3D, perform hydraulic analysis, and generate professional construction documents. You’ll also learn best practices for sustainable irrigation design that conserves water while meeting crop requirements.

This course is essential for engineers, agronomists, and designers working on agricultural development, landscape architecture, or golf course projects in Ghana and across Africa.

What You'll Learn

  • +Design complete drip irrigation systems for agricultural projects
  • +Create sprinkler irrigation layouts with proper coverage analysis
