WM-Subsurface Design Software

WM-Subsurface™ design software works with PTx Trimble’s WM-Drain® solution to ensure optimal placement of tile and drains in both surface and subsurface drainage projects.

Why choose WM-Subsurface?

"We highly recommend WM-Subsurface for the layout of field tile. Designs that used to take us days using a laser are now completed within minutes or hours."

Specifications

  • View data from any angle and exaggerate the vertical to visualize field shape and slope
  • Determine various watershed zones to assist with main, submain and lateral pipe placement 

  • Configure contours at any interval to help visualize topography and relative elevations

  • Enable flow arrows and tributary lines to assist with tracing natural surface water flows 

  • Layer field analysis with aerial images

  • Produce optimal depth designs for more consistent water tables using Autoslope feature 

  • Calculate the recommended pipe size for all pipes within a given design and verify that a pipe network will successfully drain prior to installation

  • Installs on desktop computers using Microsoft® Windows® 7 or above 

"[WM-Subsurface] is able to track exactly how much slope is on the pipe and how many acres are coming in each line, so I am able to do a very accurate job of sizing the system and do it very quickly."
