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 HydroBend solution, developed to increase storage whilst reducing the need for
investment into new build storage chambers and tank sewers.
