MISS has been mapping RTK GPS information for drainage and water management plans since 2002. We’ve been to fields flat as a pancake on a griddle to rolling hills. These various field types have different needs for water management. MISS can collect the data within your specified parameters and provide data in any format you may need. Contractors no longer need to spend their time in the field collecting information, but are allowed to spend it with their clients to install the best water management program for that parcel of land.
There are multiple ways that RTK data can be printed out for your use. Choose the mapping that best suits your needs. Normally we provide the contractor with a package of maps that contains a colorized elevation map, digital ortho-quad with elevation contour lines laid on top and a wire frame map modeling the elevation.
This colorized elevation map shows the highest elevation in pink the lowest area in red.
This colorized elevation map shows the highest elevation in pink, the lowest area in red.

MISS can help ensure optimal drainage by incorporating Electricomagnetic (EM) mapping into your program. By more accurately mapping the soil you are able to adjust the types and spacing of tile for the best return on your investment.
