Flow Control & Flood Alleviation
The control and storage of the water flowing through the foul and surface water networks is
becoming an increasingly important challenge for engineers within the water UK companies.
By utilising good engineering practice and proven control solutions these challenges may be
overcome and show efficiencies of cost and performance. The products within this section can
assist in these areas. The HydroSlide and ElectroSlide family of
flow control units are designed to accurately and reliably control the pass forward flows
throughout an impounding upstream head range enabling compliance with discharge rates and possible
reduction of storage volumes. Underutilised storage within the existing network asset can also be
activated through the use of the HydroStyx, and HydroBend solutions
both particularly developed to increase storage whilst reducing the need for investment into new
build storage chambers and tank sewers.
