2024 Trimble Water Management WM-Survey II app

2024 Trimble Water Management WM-Survey II app

WM-Survey II™ is a free-to-download mobile application that makes it easy to create basic field surveys for use in a variety of surface and subsurface applications. It can also automate the creation of terrace and waterway cross-section profile designs, as well as auto-create rice levee designs.

Learn how the WM-Survey II app can help you create basic surveys for land forming and drainage activities using the technology you already own.

Trimble’s water management solutions aim to help you make the best use of this invaluable resource. Here are a few of the benefits the WM-Survey II app brings to farmers around the world.

Intuitive workflows guide users and reduce survey errors, making it an ideal tool for beginning water management work.

WM-Survey II becomes even more powerful by adding our advanced feature set for terrace, waterway and rice levee system designs, as well as generating 3D surface control files and navigational guidance lines.

Easily and automatically create basic designs, including 3D control and feature line guidance files

Terraces and waterways are designed to divert water off a field so that soil erosion and crop loss due to water ponding is reduced. Terraces have a high side that prevents water from running over the top of it, while also typically sloping to the side to divert water into a waterway or ditch outlet along the edge of a field. Waterways transport water off a field to a designated outlet.

The Terrace & Waterway Design solution allows the user to easily and automatically create a basic terrace or waterway design in just five steps. The 3D control files and feature line guidance files for compatible PTx Trimble displays are also auto-created, allowing land forming work to begin right away – no more waiting for designs to come back from the office. Farmers can now conduct their own maintenance, saving money on contractors by extending the life expectancy of terraces and waterways while preventing up to 5% yield loss in terraced fields.

Auto-create rice levees based on desired specifications and field elevation

Rice is grown in a consistent depth of water to help limit weeds, reduce insect infestations and boost overall crop health. Because fields have a minimum slope to one corner for drainage, rice levees are used to hold water at a constant depth across the elevation gradient of the field. As the water reaches the outlet of the field, it is then pumped back to the top to restart the process.

The Levee Design creation feature uses a four-step guided workflow to auto-create rice levees based on desired specifications and elevation across a field. Upon creation of the design, feature line guidance files are also exported and available for use in levee installation. Minimize yield loss from weather-delayed planting by getting to work implementing the designs right away. Eliminate the hours or days waiting for a designer to get back to you.

Features may include:

• Please note, design features are not available on PTx Trimble displays and RTK correction is preferred for surveys to ensure a high-accuracy topographic map

• Phones and tablet compatibility: Android version 12 and above is recommended with GNSS receiver connected via Bluetooth®

• PTx Trimble display compatibility via App Central: GFX-750™, GFX-1060™, and GFX-1260™ displays connected to NAV-900 guidance controller for high-precision surveys, or the NAV-500™ guidance controller for low-precision surveys
