We start with an on-site visit to understand your farm’s specific irrigation goals, crops, acreage, and existing water setup. During this consultation, we evaluate soil type, topography, water demands, and future expansion plans to design a system that fits your exact operation. We also review property data, past drilling records, and state requirements to ensure your project begins on solid ground.
Our team handles all required state and local permits, including Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) filings and Water Withdrawal Assessment Tool (WWAT) registration if needed. We manage the paperwork, inspections, and coordination with county health departments to ensure every project complies with Michigan’s water-use regulations.
We design a complete irrigation well system tailored to your operation—determining well placement, depth, casing materials, and pump specifications. Designs consider soil stability, slope, flow requirements, and seasonal variations. We’ll also outline optional add-ons like sand separators, booster pumps, or smart irrigation controls to maximize performance and efficiency.
Once approved, our drilling crew mobilizes with precision equipment to drill your agricultural well to the specified depth—typically between 100 and 300 feet depending on local aquifers. We install steel or PVC casing, grout the annular space for protection, add well screens where needed, and perform yield testing to confirm output before installation continues.
We install the appropriate submersible or turbine pump system and integrate it with your existing or new irrigation infrastructure. Our team ensures proper flow, pressure, and power supply configuration for your pivot systems, drip irrigation, or livestock watering setups. Every connection and component is tested for safety and reliability before operation.
We perform complete flow and pressure testing, water quality checks, and automated control calibration before final sign-off. You’ll receive hands-on system training, including maintenance guidance and documentation for your records. Our relationship doesn’t end after installation—Barrett’s provides ongoing maintenance, inspection plans, and 24/7 emergency support for Michigan farmers year-round.
