While tile drainage began with clay tiles and hand-dug trenches, today’s systems are powered by GPS mapping, advanced engineering, and data-driven design. Precision Land Solutions (PLS) is at the forefront of that evolution, especially in the challenging clay soils of Western Canada.
When PLS entered the industry in the early 2000s, many believed that tile drainage couldn’t work in heavy prairie clays. But decades of global research told a different story. By studying successful systems in Ontario, the U.S., and Europe, PLS developed custom approaches that adapt tile spacing, depth, and design to Western Canadian conditions.
Their work goes far beyond installation. Through precision modeling, soil analysis, and real-world demonstrations like Dig Day, PLS continues to educate farmers and refine the science behind water management. The result: improved yields, healthier soils, and more resilient farmland across the Prairies.
Tile drainage has come a long way since ancient Rome - and with modern innovators like PLS leading the way, the next chapter is just beginning.
