Flow Control & Flood Alleviation
The control and storage of the water flowing through rivers and spillways is becoming an
increasingly important challenge for engineers within the UK river water management systems.
By utilising good engineering practice and proven control solutions these challenges may be
overcome and flooding from the water source controlled to prevent damage to property and other assets.
The products within this section of the Hydrok portfolio can assist in these areas. The
HydroSlide and ElectroSlide family of flow control units are designed
to accurately and reliably control water flows throughout an impounding upstream
head range enabling accurate control of discharge rates and possible reduction of storage
volumes. Underutilised storage within the water system can also be activated through the
use of the HydroBend solution, particularly developed
to increase storage, whilst reducing the need for further investment into new build storage reservoirs.
