Easily customized to meet industry needs

Uinta is easily customized to meet the mapping needs of any user in virtually any industry. Using Uinta for mapping in the commercial irrigation space is no different. Through custom templates, mapping irrigation and sprinkler assets is easy, visually appealing, and efficient.

By default, Uinta is set up to map simple lines, points, and areas. With custom templates, Uinta can be set to allow for these generic mapping functions to represent any piece of equipment or item.

Uinta for commercial irrigation mapping

With an irrigation-specific Uinta template, users can map typical irrigation features, such as valves, control heads, main lines, laterals, and zones. Uinta works as a powerful tool to map as-builts and to perform surveys of broken irrigation assets or water audits.

For example, the irrigation template in the screen below represents how Uinta can be customized to meet job requirements. In this example, multiple point types have been created to assist in the mapping of irrigation projects. The same can be done to represent waterlines, laterals, or zoned areas.

Project templates in Uinta allow users to quickly start mapping

The best part about all this? All the templates currently available for Uinta can be further customized to fit any organizational needs. Proper names or internal language can be inserted in the place of generic terms. Names, point types, lines, or zone options can be trimmed down to just the ones that apply to the current project. This allows for a clean, easy-to-use interface.

Use Uinta to plan, bid, map existing as-builts, and perform maintenance

Uinta can be used in every phase of irrigation and sprinkler mapping. Quickly plan and map out new sprinkler systems for customers and use that information to submit bids to land the job. Once a job is completed the maps can then be used for performing maintenance on the system at future dates.

Taking on a new job with an existing irrigation system? Uinta can help map existing as-builts to provide users the information they need to take on any new maintenance or building jobs.      

Uinta allows for professional PDF map reports to be shared with customers. These reports can include equipment lists, maintenance notes, and photos. These reports allow for clear communication and show customers what is being bid, mapped, or maintained on their property.

Juniper has several commercial irrigation customers using Uinta for their bidding, mapping, and maintenance needs. Below are some examples of the types of projects that these companies are using Uinta for.

An example of one of the 70 different controllers on All County Irrigation’s HOA project and its accompanying as-built system. This includes laterals, water sources, and backflow locations. It is easy to filter projects to just show a single area, point, or line type.

Project details:

All County Irrigation, out of New Jersey, is managing a large condominium HOA irrigation system with 70 Controllers. The HOA already had an existing system and All County Irrigation was responsible for surveying the existing systems to determine what repairs were needed and to see what changes could be made to the system. All County utilizes Uinta, the Mesa Rugged Tablet, and the Geode Sub-meter GPS Receiver in the field to collect mapping data.

Once the current system was surveyed, All County Irrigation was responsible for doing the work and updating the HOA’s system. Because the HOA is so large, All County references their Uinta generated maps to understand the as-builts while at a particular controller and to plan improvements.

Project details:

Fieldstone Landscape of Clearwater, Florida used Uinta to survey a huge townhome development. Their work included plans for new sprinkler systems, tree removal, and ongoing maintenance.

Fieldstone customized their Uinta template to include many layers that include points for control boxes, valves, trees, and sprinkler heads. They utilized zones to map grass areas and lines to visualize the as-built systems on the property. They also used the export function within Uinta to export multiple reports to be included with their bids to stakeholders in the project.
