The Climatic & Agronomic Challenge

Understanding the Problem

Coastal Kilifi suffers from irregular, heavy downpours that quickly drain through porous coral rag soils. The client’s 25-acre citrus and passion fruit orchard was vulnerable to devastating die-back whenever the dry season extended past 90 days without reliable water replenishment.
The Engineered Response

Symnet Technology & Field Execution

Symnet engineers designed a 4.2-million-litre parabolic water retention pan. After precision grading and laying a cushioning geotextile underlay, we installed 0.75mm virgin HDPE geomembrane rolls welded seamlessly using dual-track hot-wedge extruders. Every seam underwent air-pressure canal testing to guarantee zero leaks. Anchor trenches were backfilled with compacted marl to prevent edge slippage.

Key Measured Results

Harvested sufficient seasonal flash-flood runoff to guarantee 12 months of uninterrupted micro-jet and drip irrigation.
Zero water loss through subterranean seepage.
Citrus orchard survived severe coastal heatwaves without water stress, increasing yields by 38%.
"The team from Symnet were on-site every single day until the last seam was air-pressure tested. Their hot-wedge welding craftsmanship is second to none. Our reservoir has not leaked a single drop in two full seasons."
