Irrigation Systems

:: Pre-Assembled Drip Lines

We assemble drip irrigation systems right here at Global. Each system is custom-made to fit your (customizable) greenhouse needs. There are two main systems available, the french capillary system and the pressure regulated/compensated system. You also have the option of self-assembling the system. All fittings and pipes are available.

:: French Capillary

This system of drip lines is accomplished through a small polyethylene line (spaghetti) and spike. The amount of water given to each individual plant is solely based upon the inside diameter of the spaghetti and pressure of the line. The spaghetti comes in 2,3,4 or 5 litre/h sizes.

:: Pressure Regulated/Compensated

Similar to the french capillary system, this system uses emitters to compensate for the loss of water pressure in the line. The emitters open (approx. at 3lbs/psi) evenly when the line is completely full. This, unlike the french capillary system, can handle longer feed lines and larger quantities of plants per valve station. These emitters determine the amount of water given to the plant. (e.g. 2L, 3L, 4L, 8L and 12L)

:: Misting Irrigation

A system that sprays water from overhead through either a pvc pipe or aluminum pipe. Again, this can be custom-made right here at Global, or can be self-assembled.

Gutter Systems

Using 0.6 mm galvanized steel, finished with a white coating of either Polysester (general purpose), Topcoat™ (ultra strong) or Plastisol (heavy duty), we develop a large array of customizable gutter products.

Gutter systems have many advantages to both growing and labour conditions:

Advantages in Growing Conditions

• Levelled slab foundation leads to uniform water distribution in slabs
• Slab elevation from soil and better air circulation increases temperature response in slabs
• An ideal slope with no loss of water and fertilizers generates greater vegetative/generative growth control in plants
• No wet spots in the greenhouse means less spread of diseases
• Better air flow through the crop

Advantages in Labour Conditions

• product hangs at picking height, creating an ergonomic environment with easier and faster harvesting
• no wets spots creates a hygienic environment for your workers
• continuous lengths allows efficient installation and less maintenance for leakage reworking

Heating Systems

Whether it’s boiler systems or pipe systems, we manufacture customizable designs to fit your greenhouse space and needs. We offer services in planning, installation, or new additions to existing sytems. Quotes available upon request.
