What sets NTS apart
IRRICAD customised from NTS's real-world experience
The original IRRICAD is a powerful toolset, but it needs an equipment library and parameters that suit each market. The NTS team customised the software based on experience designing and building many projects: selecting the materials that genuinely perform and setting accurate parameters for every sprinkler, pipe and valve. As a result, designs need fewer changes on site and the bill of materials is close to reality for quoting.
Curated materials
A library of sprinklers, pipes and valves selected by NTS from real experience, with poor performers left out.
Accurate parameters
Pressure, radius and flow for every sprinkler, set and calibrated by the NTS team.
Close to site reality
Designs go straight to site, minimising gaps between drawings and actual materials.
Training & support
NTS engineers guide you through the software and provide technical support on your own projects.

Real interface
Work right inside the familiar AutoCAD environment
Real IRRICAD screenshots: the dedicated menu bar, the sprinkler selection dialog with accurate parameters, and a park site plan.
Design workflow
From site plan to finished drawing, step by step
A simulation of the working steps in IRRICAD: layout, hydraulic checks, error detection and materials export.
Images illustrate the workflow; figures are examples only.
Key features
Every tool an irrigation design engineer needs
From sketch to construction documents, IRRICAD supports every step so you design quickly and with technical grounds.
Lay out sprinklers & pipes
Place sprinklers, drippers and pipes visually on a plan or terrain, adjust by drag and drop and check coverage right on the drawing.
Hydraulic calculation
Calculate flow, pressure loss and velocity and choose the best pipe size, with an instant warning when pressure falls short.
Zoning & control valves
Divide zones, assign valves and balance flow between zones for even operation.
NTS materials library
Pick sprinklers, pipes and valves from the curated NTS library, each with accurate parameters: pressure, radius, flow and spray angle.
Take-off & quoting
Automatically build the materials list by zone and by item, ready to export for quoting and ordering.
Water source & pump station
Analyse the pump operating point and check whether the supply meets the whole system.
Why use the software
A clear difference from working by hand
The same project, two ways of working, two very different results.
Manual / Excel
With IRRICAD
Materials & parameters
Looking up each brand's catalogue, easy to mix up parameters, hard to know which model performs.
A materials library curated by NTS, with parameters calibrated from real experience.
Hydraulic calculation
Calculated branch by branch, error-prone and hard to double-check.
The whole pipe network is calculated, with pressure at every point visible on the drawing.
When the design changes
Everything has to be recalculated and redrawn in several steps.
Change one thing and the hydraulics, drawings and materials update with it.
Error detection
Usually found only after construction, when fixing is costly.
Velocity and pressure warnings appear at design time.
Materials take-off
Counted by hand and typed into Excel, easy to miss or over-count.
The materials list is built per zone automatically, ready for quoting.
Drawings & documents
Drawings and spreadsheets live in different places, hard to keep in sync.
Drawings, parameters and materials share one data source.
Convincing the investor
Hard to prove the proposal has been checked.
Clear hydraulic data backs up the proposal.
Working process
5 steps from site plan to construction documents
One consistent workflow keeps the whole design team in step.
-
01
Import plan & terrain

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about IRRICAD
What is IRRICAD?
IRRICAD is a pressurised irrigation design software developed by AEI Software. It supports sprinkler and pipe layout, hydraulic calculation and materials take-off for many types of irrigation.
Which types of irrigation is IRRICAD suited to?
It suits landscape irrigation, agricultural irrigation (drip and sprinkler), and large systems such as sports fields and golf courses, as well as pump station and main pipeline problems.
Does IRRICAD run on a CAD platform?
IRRICAD can run as a toolset inside AutoCAD (the Irricad, Zone, Mainline, Design and Reports menus appear on the menu bar as in the real screenshot above) and also has a standalone interface. Please contact NTS for advice on the edition that fits your environment.
How does the NTS edition of IRRICAD differ from the standard one?
NTS customises the software based on real design and construction experience: a curated materials library and accurate technical parameters built and calibrated by NTS engineers, so designs stay close to reality and the bill of materials can be used for quoting right away.
What does NTS support after I start using the software?
NTS supports selection advice, installation, user training in Vietnamese and technical support while you work on projects.
How do I get a quote or a trial?
Fill in the form at the bottom of the page or call the hotline 0888 167 247. An NTS engineer will contact you to advise, quote the licence and guide a trial where possible.
